I am contacting you today to inform you about my recent travels and a Discovery that I made while I was away from you. I was as usual on a Trading Mission to our Friends at Malta, to trade some of our Delicious Shige for some Fresh Cardamine. The Maltese really love our Shige, especially the higher-ups in Maltese Society, and also some of the younger "Party People" really enjoy the Taste. I have to say that while the Older and more Distinguished Gentlemen and Ladies enjoy the Shige in its Purest form. I also have some reports that Wild Youth enjoys the Shige in Cocktails more, with some different flavors mixed into it. I have to admit that I have tried one of their Cocktails and I have to say that the Version with Shige and Strawberrys was pretty Delicious. I am sure that if we were able to offer Shige in Different Tastes we could earn even more money, and I am sure that not just the Maltese "Party Folks" would then buy our Drinks.
But this Message is not about the Variations of Shige, as much as I enjoy their Yummy Tastes. No, this Com is about the Discovery that I made as I ran away from a KNF Patrole in Kyushu. I was on my way back when I had the Unfortune to Run into 3 KNF Fighters near the Jumphole to Tau 23. Thankfully I could Outrun them with the Amaririsu after a while. But still, I didn't feel safe to fly home right away, that's why I decided to cover my tracks with a Long Flight through the Seiran Dust Cloud. I admit that my Paranoia got the Better of me at that time as I flew in there much deeper than I probably needed. But my Paranoia proved pretty useful as I have made quite the Discovery in that cloud. I Came across the Lifeless shell of a Lapdog Destroyer that Drifted inside the Cloud Completly Peacefull. At first, I was Scared beyond belief as I had seen this ship first on my Scanners and then from my Bridge Windows. I thought they had Caught me or maybe Sprung a Trap for me. But then I realized that the Ship Showed weird Power Levels and that the thing didn't even move or demand my Surrender as the Lapdog Destroyers are usually Doing. Also as we came Closer the Ship Also seemed damaged in some Way.
When we made some Deeper Scans of the Ship we noticed that the Ship was Diferent from the Usual Models of Destroyers that the Lapdogs used against us. It seemed Older and had some parts I had never seen on the other Models. Anyway, after a while, when nothing happened and no other Lapdog Ship jumped into Action to Hunt us, we decided to Investigate the Ship Further. We have noticed Raised Radiation Levels from the Ship that are much higher than they usually should be. Thankfully I have invested in some Space Suits with a Higher Radiation Resistance when I was on that Junker Base the last time. Still, we were just Shortly on board of that Destroyer as the Radiation Levels were Way too High for an Extended Stay on board. Still,l we had enough time to Investigate the Lifeless Ship. As we have thought after the first Scanns of the Ship we have Found the Crew Dead from Acute Radiation Poisoning Apparently it went all Pretty Fast as we have found some of them still in their Beds and Collapsed at their Work Stations.
We could not stay long on the ship due to the still High Levels of Radiation, but we managed to Download the Data Drives of the Ship. We also managed to find out that they were doing some kind of Jumpdrive Experiment with that Ship and that the Destroyer itself is also a Prototype Model. From what the Logbooks are Showing us the Ship disappeared over 3 Years ago as the Jump Drive Failed and the Resulting Damage Breached the Containment Fields of the Drive and the Reactor and Bathed the Ship in High Levels of Radiation. Apparently, the Crew tried to Fix the Problem by Jetison the Reactor and the Experimental Cloaking Device, but due to the Radiation, they Died before they could finish the Procedure. Many of the Systems were Still Encrypted but after a good amount of coding, I could put my Hacker Skills to good use and was able to Jetison both the Core and the Cloaking Device. After that, we left the Destroyer but Marked its Location. With the approval of the Sisterhood, I would like to Tow the Cruiser to either KKJ or another Friendly Shipyard and Begin the Repair Work. While I am not a Engenier I have a Feeling that this Ship Could become a Valuable Asset for the Sisterhood. The Engenier on my ship told me that she thinks the ship is Salvageable and could be put into Service for the Sisterhood. But she also told me that this would need a lot of work and that we might need help from our Friends at Planet Malta for this Endeavour, and maybe some Spare Parts from the Junkers. For now, I will Return to KKJ and Prepare an Expedition Team to Return to the Destroyer and Tow the Ship to a Safe Location.
