Rigid Flame

You’re the captain of a small ship lost in space. Your scientists tell you that “the derivative of entropy with respect to time is significantly diminished within this region” … whatever that means. Suddenly, alien spaceships appear all around you. You’ve been ambushed! Unfortunately, your ship’s just a cargo ship, so it isn’t equipped with any weapons. Still, maybe you can use the strange properties of this place to get out of this situation… or maybe you’ll die trying.
