Purging Nova Imperials. Lol

Through the viewport she watched as the last wisps of atmosphere twisted up into a frozen spindrift and spilled out into the silent void. The bodies were long gone, jettisoned out at decompression speed. It occurred to her that those dancing ice crystals could have been the last breath of one of the people she had just spaced. Perhaps they were even a final, unheard scream, turned cold and silent by the absolute zero of deep space.
She thought about that for a moment longer and then dismissed it with a shrug. Turning around she looked at the long line of ragged Imperial traitors. Nova Imperium sympathisers. Republicans and low life criminals.
“Next batch,” she shouted and set the cargo hatch to close so they could be loaded in safely.
While a pair of System Authority troops forced the screaming people all the way inside she received a message from the local Imperial Navy Contact.
“Yaaayyy!” she shouted excitedly.
“I’m a Knight,” she cheered and closed the hatch quickly so she could rank up some more.
The two troops had been surprised by the rapidly closing door and were stuck inside the Cargo bay. They banged on the viewport but she couldn’t hear their screams.
“I can’t hear you,” she mouthed and pointed to her ears.
“Its ok though, I’ll just watch the ice crystals and figure out what you said,” she laughed and hit the big red button that opened the hatch.
She waved at them and then watched as the last wisps of atmosphere twisted up into a frozen spindrift and spilled out into the silent void.
