"Heirarch. The ship is detecting a quantum anomaly."

"Description."

"Heirarch. The quantum descriptors for particle mass are being re-written."

"What? But..."

"Heirarch. Mass absorption at the Neutronium grinders is being manipulated from the core. A gravity well is forming around it."

"Disable it now!"

"Heirarch. We cannot! The gravity descriptors across the entire core are being altered by means unknown."

"Heirarch. Gravity is increasing exponentially around the core." Said the X'Olochian on the second science station.

"Eject the bridge!" Screeched the Heirarch.

"Heirarch. The Neutronium alloy grinders have breached their gravity containment. A singularity has formed, we cannot escape!"

    That exponentially increasing gravity seems to be shrinking me. I'm a bit worried about my place in the Harlem Globetrotters team now I'm under five foot. Scary stuff Jeff.

    I'm sure there'd be a solution for that back on the Globetrotter's homeworld 😉

    Is "A gravity well is forming around the it" intentional? Otherwise you have room for one more precious word :) reminds us all how characters react when a rewrite is in process.

    Oops! Well spotted Richard. I have made an appropriate "Adjustment" 😉 And thanks for following 😊
