Like some great silver-pink fish, the ship sang on through the eternal
night. There was no impression of swimming; the fish shape had neither
fins nor a tail. It was as though it were hovering in wait for a member
of some smaller species to swoop suddenly down from nowhere, so that it,
in turn, could pounce and kill.
But still it moved and sang.
