The Arkania

[Drakaisyl]

The "new" Arkania

After spending a few Years with the GMG in which Rachel as well as the old Arkania were examined and tested. As a result due to the examinations the "old" Arkania was now nothing more as a few hull pannels atteached to a rusty sceleton of the Prison Liner. Together with the ship the greatest part of the knowledge Rachel had gained from her travel through the Sirius Sector had been lost.

Her Chance to actually flee from the tortue of the testing came in form of a Freelancer captain from Rheinland who did visit the research facility on regular basis. Having lured the research teams in false security by doing all of their test without any restraint - with lower security measures in place due to this - she slipped away and boarded the ship - a Civilian Carrier named Rauer Pfad. When the research teams noticed about her escape the "Rauer Pfad" was already at the other end of Rheinland. During the flight Rachel got herself knowledge of the ship's systems – although it was a long process due to the fact that so many had changed and was different to the systems she knew from the old Arkania.

After heaving learned about the systems she overtook the ship step by step. The hardest task was to break into the AI of the ship to either enslave or delete it. After many weeks of subtile manipulation and a final assault on the AI finally gave Rachel the control over the ship systems In the following days the original crew was killed as the whole ship lost life support. With Rachel now beeing the only human or nearly human beeing left on the ship, she began to rebuild the bridge in the same way as it was on the orginial Arkania.


Due to the loss of the Datacore she set course for the Sirius Sector once more to learn what changed...
