The sentence includes two types of figurative language:

1. Simile: "Straight as a Canada Goose towards the loading bay." This is a comparison between two things using the words "like" or "as." In this case, the narrator is comparing the movement of the ornithopter to the flight of a Canada Goose.

2. Metaphor: "The ornithopter... straight at the Aurora's belly." This is a comparison between two things without using the words "like" or "as." In this case, the narrator is comparing the movement of the ornithopter to an attack on the Aurora's belly.
