OOC: I couldnt see it, but i know what your like all biologically stuff lol

One Entity, One Soul, Still coming to terms with being a completely different lifeform, understanding what he could now do, was jolted and surprised back into the reality of where he was.

The Entire Ship was devoid of its crew, Ashen Crava, The Entity present here, had a basic idea where they had gone, He peered out of a window, as the ship began to move, The ship didnt register anything major, but it was safe to say it was taking him somewhere, somewhere he didnt want to go.

He "Walked" or rather glided to another control panel, His shimmering translucent fluidlike form making its way to the destination he desired, his fingers tapped a few buttons, and the main power began to run once more, he pressed a few more buttons, The 2 Turrets lodged on the underneath of the vessel swiveled, and began to charge.

"Master, large powersurge within the sleeping vessel..."
"Ignore it."
"Movement, master! Its weapons are powering up!"
"Turn us about and engage the ion drives." The frightened Master, rushed to the comm villip to send word and reinforcements. Automated responce systems would complicate things. Or perhaps the vessels were not as empty as Fwen had said...

Fulshor curtly acknowledged the atuomated warning, irked that it was a machine and not a flesh-and-blood being on the other end. "Comms, have any of the warships in system hailed us yet?"

"None, captain. Everything seems to be drifting aimlessly. Shall I continue hailing?"

"No, don't bother." A disease maybe? "Helm, set course for the nearest Confederate vessel."

The helmsman quickly glanced over his proximity chart. "Nearest vessel is one of their small frieghters. How close do you want us?"

"We are going to board. Have the marines suit up, its time to find out where they all went."

A few minutes later the Phobos was pulling along side the Arenumbergian freighter, boarding chutes flying across the gap and attaching to the hull. It took only a few moments for the high power cutting drills to bore through the hull, allowing access to the ship's interior. The two corvettes stood guard several hundred kms off.

Climbing up the chute, 8 marines clambered aboard. Suited out with full power armor and sealed, they would be immune to any biological agents that might of caused the crews demise. Armed with Flak Cannons, the ground under Sargeant Goll made their way to the bridge.

OOC: Is this the same one that bandalok just abandoned?

No, he's in your territory, boarding a frieghter. While I attempted to tow an escort ship from within neutral territory.

At least, thats what I got.

OOC: The Phobos is within your homesystem, while Bandalok is somewhere along to border (at least that was my impression). So no, these are two seperate ships.

OOC: Ok, ill post soon, just got up

OOC: Not as soon as liked.. but still lol

The computer lights, the ones still operational, blinked, as was happening all over the confederacy, a lone soul had been returned to this ship, a few days they had been told, a few days and they would all return.

Nathaeria Asoon had been the navigator,but she found the ship to be most un-cooperative, even now, she couldnt figure out what had happened to the ship, and only had a basic idea about the crew.

The sound of heavy metal footsteps coming down the corridor caused her "concern", but she had been able to study what she could now do, and disappeared.. she wasnt invisible, or gone, merely more translucent than was now natural, her psi forces increasing the translucency, and the light she was stood in made her almost, untill you went behind her, invisible.

She studied who was coming up, and it clicked, she hoped that the Skeelzanians would not discover her, whatever they were doing her couldnt be out of concern for Arenumberg.

OOC: Of course, you will, and subsequently start a frenzied firefight lol, j/k

The marines marched down the corridors, as stealthily as eight men in 300 pounds of armor and fury can. "You sure you know where we're going, private?" Asked Goll, for the umpteenth time.

Private Truk squinted at his HUD, trying to make sense of the schemantic infront of him. "Pretty sure, sarge. But I never been on one of these boats before. They always were ornery about letting onboard." Frantically the trooper tried to locate the bridge. "Go, uh, thattaway."

Goll grunted, convinced that Truk had simply pulled a direction out of his ass. "Alright. Move out." After another twenty minutes of random turns and twists, the party finally made their way to the darkened bridge. A few lights blinked on an off in the darkness, but other than that it was empty. "No corpses, no sign of weapons discharge, no forced entry...Where did they all go?"

"Maybe the Elves accidentally ejected themselves?" Piped Truk. The man was becoming increasingly nervous, shifting the weight of his flak cannon from one hand to the other.

"Wouldn't put it past them. Alright Hag, Olbran, try and get some data from the-"

A massive ka-thunk thundered out of the bridge and down the corridor, as Truk unloaded a full canister of flak into a seemingly innocent computer terminal. "You better have a damn good reason for wasting government property, soldier."

The man was practically gibbering. "Didn't you see it sarge? A ghost! Theres a damn ghost on this hulk, the ships haunted!"

"Shut up. Get back to the Phobos and give em a report, something in this damn thing is blocking my circut." Good to get rid of that lunatic. "Hag, Olbran, get to work on the comps Truk didn't frag."
