The Gravitational Wave Telescope hadn't spotted the alien spaceship earlier because the mass parameters had been set too low. Now, with the search parameters expanded, it had finally locked onto the target but the results were utterly baffling...
The Viridian vessel was only three-thousandths the physical size of Sedna, yet its gravitational pull was ten times stronger. It was an entire order of magnitude heavier than the planet!
"That's physically impossible!"
It was simply outrageous. Jason was completely at a loss for words, a knot of unease twisting in his stomach.
It was utterly inexplicable. The command staff exchanged bewildered glances, a surreal sense of absurdity washing over them.
Is the telescope malfunctioning? That was everyone's first thought.
