Success

Flanking Speed

The thing cracks and groans as you pass it by, leaking unidentifiable fluids onto the zee's surface. Whatever evil liquid froze to form the lifeberg, it's not water.


Failure

Too close

The lifeberg takes notice of you, somehow; perhaps it's driven to the roar of the engines. Its approach is too slow to threaten your ship directly – but as you race by, your vessel's keel grazes some of the creature's hidden mass beneath the surface.
