Another supernova, in the Pakhshi system this time. A massive star collapsed.
A supernova briefly outshines an entire galaxy. The extremely luminous burst of radiation expels much or all of a star's material at great velocity, driving a shock wave into the surrounding interstellar medium. Supernovae play a significant role in enriching the interstellar medium with higher mass elements. Furthermore, the expanding shock waves from supernova explosions can trigger the formation of new stars.
I had only recently discovered this star. I admired his spectrum, and I will miss it.
I feel the shockwave, but I am grateful for his luminosity, which is present still. And I see the interstellar medium being enriched. And I see the formation of new stars.

You bugger! I read this literally, initially, and started panicking about how I was going to evacuate in the time it took the blast to travel from the system primary.
"You let one of them go, but that's nothing new is it? Every now and then a little victim is allowed to escape; because she smiled, because he's got freckles, because they begged. And that's how you live with yourself. That's how you slaughter millions."

Apologies. I've taken measures in order to prevent a repeat.

I must agree with Pieter. This initially surprised me, made me hope that my Colleagues were alright, and think of what effect this would have on the Conference.
I suppose that is much like what I felt like when the Supernova you truly spoke of happened, just without the weeping.
I like this very much.

It is rare that I agree with Leopold here. Today is a rare day.

Oh, I know. So few people outside the State truly understand the nuances of a Splinterz or Mind Clash match.
