"There are viewports here," Sariel explains, drawing to a stop on the edge of that knot of people. "There's a wormhole near the station--a... passage, connecting this area of space with another much further away. When a ship comes through, the view is... amazing." As the other tourists are all focused on the view, no one notices her attempts to explain a twenty-fourth century concept to a man a thousand years and several worlds away from his time. Whew.
Something cloudy blue and swirling is beginning to color the darkness of the space outside those viewports, speaking of views.
