Stormchaser

...The horror of that was almost instantly blanketed out by the more primal fear as her own situation struck her. She was at ten thousand feet being tossed about in a hurricane like a piece of paper, and she was three hundred miles out into the Atlantic; she couldn’t count the number of ways death might come for her but Donna was certain it was coming. An eerie calm settled on her then, as if she had slid into the mental equivalent of the eye of the hurricane. Donna undid the straps that held her to her chair and it went tumbling away into the storm. She spread herself out in a skydiving position and just let herself be carried on the winds.

            The other presence in the hurricane had sensed the arrival and destruction of the Wild Goose with a supreme detachment; the machine was too puny a thing to interest it. The aftermath of its destruction though was something else, the other presence it detected was a tiny flame compared to the power of its own essence but it burned brightly and drew the presence irresistibly. As it flowed through the storm the presence moved a part of its essence from the ethereal to the physical and reached out to the flame.

            As she fell Donna wondered if anyone else had ever shared this experience. It was an unanswerable question, almost by definition no one was coming back to tell the tale.

            Do you wish to do so?

The voice sounded crystal clear inside her head and Donna thought she must have simply gone insane but when it spoke again there was something commanding that forced her to reply.

            Do you wish to do live to tell your tale?...
