Havlicek stared out the porthole.
“I think it’s getting closer.”
Captain Lim did not even glance in his direction.
“Unlikely,” she replied. “It just appears that way. We are being dragged closer to it, rather than it following us. Black holes don’t move.”
Havlicek found this to be scant comfort.
“What do you think will happen to us?”
“We’ll die,” sighed Lim.
“Yeah, I know, everyone’s going to die eventually. But what do you think happens in the black hole?”
Lim shook her head. She could not help feeling that with better officers, this whole situation could have been avoided.
