Resurrecting the Wraith

[Kauket]

Finally reaching Vespucci Jump Hole after a lengthy flight, they idle there and power down all their systems except for communications, life support and radars. Awaiting for the others to rendezvous, they wait quite a lengthy time for the others to arrive.


Ten minutes later, Locklear’s vessel along with his wing returned to their location, some vessels missing prior to the fight. It’s noticeable that his ship is on flames.

“Are you okay? You’re kind of… on fire. ”


He shrugs, “Worry about yourself, you’re in the Commonwealth’s debt now, you know? We lost some good people out there. “

“I know. ”

They proceed to Vespucci, jumping through and then immediately begin to cruise towards Fort Leniex, the group is escorted by the remaining Hellfire wing, and an Arbiter that was waiting for them on the other side.


Entering the orange nebula, a figure in seen in the distance, they approach it, getting closer and closer, until…

“Woah. “

“Welcome to Leniex. “

“I was expecting big, but not this big… “

Fighters appear out of the cloud, swarming around the Eidolon, “This is Patrol Gamma Three to Eidolon Wraith, proceed to Bay Two. “

Muttering silently off the comms, “So much for a warm welcome… “ She immediately proceeds to order out over the radio, “Get the weapon cache ready for transfer, we’re getting ready to moor. “ flicking the radio off, “Alright, Initiate mooring sequence. Steady now. “

Proceeding into the mooring bay, the vessel comes to a halt, the engines powered down, and the nearby connectors latches on to the two main mooing points at the side of the vessel.

“Right, open the entrance bays, and disable the security systems. “

“Acknowledged. “ The crew on the bridge tap away into their consoles, doing as they were instructed.

“Time to go greet our new friends. “

The nanomolecular figure unbinds itself from the console, briefly watching Raven leave the bridge, it takes note of where she’s going before it goes back into the entry point that it originally came in, only to come out again when she goes to the entry point of the Eidolon, suspiciously watching over boarding party and the Keeper’s group.

She goes ahead to greet the armed party, “Welcome aboard. We’ve stashed all of our weapons in that cache which is being held over there on my right, and all defensive systems are disabled. Even the infection scan process was disabled. “


The commander of the boarding party announces, “We’re going to conduct a thorough search of the ship. “

“Very well, I shall guide you around. I’ll upload a schematic to your data pads to help you navigate through the vessel. “

She turns around and begins to walk, suddenly stopping. “Oh. And don’t mind the drones, they’re just… maintenance drones. Follow me, we’ll proceed to the first zones, cyan and blue. “

The little observer that drifted near the ceiling at the corner of the room, out of direct view, slides away back into its initial deploy point, the AI carefully trailing the search party through its network system and through holo constructions, as they check the Eidolon.

Reaching the last red zone at the very center of the ship, they reach a unique hallway, the structure of the hallway is very dark, the walls and floors are a very dark obsidian, with blue glow maps veining through the walls, all of them pointing to the end of the corridor, where a thick door with crystal blue lights is sealed shut.

“Aaand our last stop. This is the… Uh… What’s the word? The Engine reactor’s disposal chamber. However, it’s highly irradiated right now, and the internal damage is too great. It’ll leak everywhere if we attempt to enter. So… Yeah. That concludes our tour.“

“Very well... We will have a intensive scene performed on that section of the ship from Leniex instead. “


She observes them as they leave the corridor, headed towards the stairs, returning to their station. As soon as they leave the general vicinity, she lets out a giant sigh.

The little cloud of nanomolecules form a small figurine beside her.

“We can block and facade their scan. Your equipment remains hidden, and they believe your deceit. You should return to the entrance and finish off the meeting. “

“I know I should. I just - jeesh, I almost spilled it. I was a giant nerve wreck, I didn’t want to ruin it. “

“All is well. Return. “

The little figure fades out, she sighs again and runs off to catch up with the others at the entrance.
