Ghosts of the Past...

[Reaver Company Inc.]

The Unrelenting was one of the most massive ships known to man. Slightly bigger then a normal Dreadnought, due to the thicker and heavier armor, the ship packed even more punch. Two Inferno Cannons were tucked away under the ship, four large battleship class missile turrets sat on the back of the ship, and 6 experimental energy projectors filled out the rest of the hard points. The Unrelenting was in a class of it's own, the Super Dreadnought.

So when the ship limped back to Freeport 9, bleeding air, water, flame and smoke into space, gaping holes revealing the guts of the once mighty ship, it's reactor leaking, and it's shields gone, a feeling of dread began to creep across all those involved.


Not all was lost though. The Unrelenting had come out of the encounter with more information about these strange aliens. Also, in a testament to it's sturdy super-structure and engineering, the Unrelenting could be repaired. A flight of Repair Ships were sent from SiN Tech HQ on Manhatten to Freeport 9, and were expected within the next few days. Until then, the ship was moored to the station, and the on-board repair teams went into action, fixing what they could and patching anything leaking.

The Captain of the Unrelenting, one Markus Bishop, had called a briefing between active SiN Tech units and the resident AW CO's.

"All right, Now that we're all here Ill give my report.

"As noticed before, the attack came when the ship appeared beside us, without any warning. Nothing on long range, mid range, short range, nothing on any sensors of any kind. It just appeared as if it had always been there. I don't think even the Nomad Cloaks are that good.

"As soon as it appeared, the thing struck out at us. It's tentacles seem to be wrapped in some kind of field that negates our shielding, but any other information on it will have to be analyzed by a real science team. Fortunately, we were running a combat drill at the time, so our weapons were combat ready. That's probably all that saved us. It smacked us around for a bit, and our missiles and energy projections did almost nothing. In an act of desperation, we fired out Inferno Cannons at it. For unknown reasons, the ship seemed stunned. It just stopped where it was. Unfortunately, still with one of it's tentacle things inside my ship.

"We sent a boarding party down to see if we could force our way in and capture it, but we found something strange. We -did- get access to it, but there was nothing inside. Not a single soul. It was like the ship was on auto-pilot or something. Then the party heard, what they say were strange noises, like something talking in an unknown language. And after that, the ship faded away, right out from underneath the boarding party.

"It is because of this incident that I feel we may not be dealing with an alien race at all. At least, not a living. I think that we may be fighting the remnants of an alien civilization. I think we may be fighting ghosts."
