“Adults measure between three to five gigameters long, so it’s important to know the correct response if you encounter a Voidspawn. Remain calm, make yourself big by raising your arms, think happy thoughts. This will ensure your imminent dematerialization is less painful.”– Starfield Guide to Interplanetary Entities
Children who grow up on the moons of Nephrite-33b do so with a healthy fear of the elusive moon-devouring voidspawn. Protocol dictated that rising starscout Qinghua should have reported the orphaned larval spawn she found so it could be ejected into the farthest corner of the universe to be terminated. Instead, she named it Baobao.
Boundless enthusiasm and a high proficiency with quasi-stellar battle arts made Qinghua a worlds-class space voyager even before she befriended a “Threat Level: Galactic” beast. Together they grew, and once she was old enough to travel off moon, the duo set out to search the galaxy for Baobao’s family.
Rumors of sightings lead them gallivanting across constellations to the Endless Wastes, where Qinghua learned to surf the nebula storms on her Sun Seeker. Following half-eaten moons into restricted Zhaktari airspace, Baobao harnessed her inner oblivion theory and devoured the forces of Governor-Tyrant Goretaxx to secure their escape. Chasing tracks, they were the first to traverse the treacherous rings of Nova-5’s frozen star. One trail ended with them becoming heralds of the Jade Moon after unlocking the mystery of the Celestial Puzzle. Qinghua uses it to play warp fetch with Baobao.
“Aww, who’s my good little space monster!”– Qinghua to Baobao
Roaming the heavens came naturally to Qinghua, but wormgate navigation can be a nightmare on the best of solar cycles, and a missed interstellar exit sent the pair flying from a lightspeed overpass to a nearby bifrost bridge. Tales of their exploits spread quickly as Qinghua and Baobao showed they had the stuff of champions. Together they were ushered into Valhalla’s great halls, and they dazzle the crowds with their teamwork. In between seasons, Qinghua plans wormhole road trips with the help of Artemis. Even in Asgard, the search for the missing voidspawn continues.
