It was a feint. Jack immediately rips Space open.

Erik: You feel extreme pain in your left arm, and look over to see that Jack has wrenched it around and put a giant sword through the joint, locking it open. He opens his large canine-like mouth and roars at you, before skipping back to where Conor stands, having divested himself of his illusion.

Conor: Jack can't be in two places at once, but he can zip between the two so fast it makes no difference. The Wand blows a giant hole in him, after which he disappears and pops back, whole. So you blow another, and another, trying to dip and dodge around a teleporting opponent. At one point, you have to draw Nehima to block his sword, and the whole thing turns into a giant sword-duel, with some added sparks from the Wand.

The ship: You Jack flicker, with a fresh stomach wound, giving the meteors a big push before departing to the next one almost instantaneously. The net effect is that the meteors are now going even faster. You haven't much time.
