Sorry. We're here to stay. Maybe it should have read "CNN READERS DISBANDING?"... It's okay. I'll still read it.

Whatever happened with that Sally Koshuni reporter? I think I left her floating in Pelatus...
Maybe this should be a Feature Edition of CNN News!

Eaten by space cows. The Pelatus Observer got that story, I think.
Sally woke up, feeling groggy and disoriented. She tried to sit up, but immediately smashed her head against a clear canopy which looked out on a tumbling starfield.
"What the..."
She struggled against the stasis pod restraints, making the tiny capsule wobble a bit more than it already was. Removing the restraints was difficult, but she was able to loosen them and roll onto her side within the small, coffin-shaped pod.
Lights on the lone display panel blinked red, and although she was not an engineer, their meaning was apparent: the oxygen and power levels were extremely low, dangerously so.
The panel registered her elevated adrenaline and stress levels on the biometric graph as she hastily scanned the starfield outside for a sign of anything or anyone that would come to her aid. The stars stared back, unblinkingly. There was nothing out there but vacuum.
Her rapid breathing depleted the oxygen faster than normal, and new warning alarms began to go off with voice alerts, cautioning the inhabitant of the stasis pod to contact the nearest local warranty service center to have the pod's consumables refilled.
Breathing became more difficult, as if someone was sitting on her chest. Her vision began to blur somewhat, and darkness crept in around the edges of her sight. It was then that the huge shape obscured the stars.
Something was very close to the stasis pod now. Sally squinted to try to make out a shape, but with her oxygen-starved brain and failing eyesight, she could not quite make it out. Her last sensation was of being enveloped in a giant maw; she imagined that it was Death, swallowing her and finally introducing her into the Void.
The space cow crunched down on the metal-rich stasis pod, breaking the seals, crushing the components and tanks, and grinding bone and sinew. It swallowed to let its first stomach dissolve some of the metal, later on it would regurgitate the majority of its lunch and chew it's cud a bit, grinding down some of the larger bits of metal and skull until it was ready for the next stomach.
It let out a large burp, and moved on in search of its next meal.
