[Weekly Event] Derelict Hunts

[Leo]

Change to the way these events are run

These events have changed slightly. Capital Ships will no longer be "Claimable" and will function as one of two ways:

1. Destroyable or boardable for the claim of the items/weapons onboard.
   
2. As standalone POB's where a TTRPG/D&D style encounter will go down.

The ships can no longer be towed as they are too large to do so and can't be flown due to extensive damage to them. This keeps players from joining just because a Capital Ship is on the line and prevents special ships (such as the Nephilim) from falling into enemy hands. The TTRPG style encounter will occur on the last Saturday of every month at 1500 UTC while standard Derelict events will occur on every other Saturday at 1500 UTC. Due to planning issues, this months TTRPG style may not happen. Time will tell if there is enough time to get the logistics done for this.

If there are questions, let me know!

The Filo Escarlata was left to drift after it was nearly destroyed by unknown assailants--however it found a new home with those who had evil plans for it's future. No longer was it a stalwart defender of the Maltese nation, now it was an instrument of something far more sinister. The Wilde ships managed to crack the ships firmware (with hilariously bad security policies by it's pilot) and initiate a bypass on it's reactor to prevent a meltdown. Afterwards they enabled the auto pilot to follow the two ships to their home in the Omegas.

• The ship is now in the possession of Wilde. No other players or factions attempted to stop them from claiming their prize.
  
• 250.000 credits were given to each participant for their roleplay interactions.

Tune in next week for a new special version of the event. Angels offspring with strange deaths in a field of darkness filled with strange bridges await your discovery. Tune in next week for your slice at the pie.

[21.03.2026 15:08:52] Wilde.Vedrfolnir: Hm. What do We have here?
[21.03.2026 15:09:28] Derelict-Filo.Escarlata: [The derelict is fairly damaged from combat. It's weapons signatures register to no known signatures on record.]
[21.03.2026 15:09:41] Wilde.Vedrfolnir: *The vessel lowers its veil, having located the source of the distress signal*
[21.03.2026 15:10:37] Derelict-Filo.Escarlata: [It's rector is in a semi-meltdown. Steps need to be taken to avert and overload and detonation.]
[21.03.2026 15:11:46] Wilde.Vedrfolnir: It's in bad shape, but there may yet be value in this.
[21.03.2026 15:12:06] Wilde.Nibelungenfluch: Im reading Multiple damaged Systems and Hull Breaches...
[21.03.2026 15:12:21] Wilde.Nibelungenfluch: Structural Integrity seems to be fine...
[21.03.2026 15:12:30] Wilde.Vedrfolnir: Indeed.
[21.03.2026 15:13:02] Derelict-Filo.Escarlata: [...reactor meltdown in: 45 minutes. Please decompress secondary bypass to avert. Repeating...]
[21.03.2026 15:13:11] Wilde.Nibelungenfluch: It seems as if my Scanner can't lock onto the Cargo hold....
[21.03.2026 15:13:55] Wilde.Vedrfolnir: *There was a short burst of static from the vessel on a narrow frequency. It was likely a radioing of extra support*
[21.03.2026 15:15:31] Derelict-Filo.Escarlata: [There appears to be residue of Cardi in the cargo hold--possibly for the pilot.]
[21.03.2026 15:15:41] Derelict-Filo.Escarlata: [Possibly for a paying customer. It's unclear.]
[21.03.2026 15:16:02] Wilde.Vedrfolnir: Hm. It seems We are on Our own.
[21.03.2026 15:16:15] Derelict-Filo.Escarlata: [The shield generator is toast, as is one of the engines. Hull plating is marginally damaged but intact.]
[21.03.2026 15:16:31] Derelict-Filo.Escarlata: [A secondary bypass may be able to be done remotely with enough skill.]
[21.03.2026 15:17:37] Wilde.Vedrfolnir: Very well. Are ou capable of overriding the ships systems?
[21.03.2026 15:17:48] Wilde.Nibelungenfluch: I am trying -
[21.03.2026 15:18:12] Wilde.Nibelungenfluch: [A short Pulse is sent out from the ship targetting the stranded ship]
[21.03.2026 15:18:37] Derelict-Filo.Escarlata: [The system responds. It seems like the computer system is still online and accessable. Some hacking is required.]
[21.03.2026 15:18:45] Derelict-Filo.Escarlata: [Outcast systems are hardened against attack.]
[21.03.2026 15:18:48] Wilde.Nibelungenfluch: [:::[TRGET]-[Root]-[Backdoor]-[/secondary Bypass]-[Firewall]:::]
[21.03.2026 15:19:13] Wilde.Nibelungenfluch: Its Hard im trying to override control...
[21.03.2026 15:19:26] Derelict-Filo.Escarlata: [Defense in Depth (DID) enabled. Layer 1 bypassed. Secondary hunter/killer program enabled. Hack detected.]
[21.03.2026 15:19:35] Wilde.Nibelungenfluch: [The Ship tries a different burst of Frequencies]
[21.03.2026 15:19:39] Wilde.Nibelungenfluch: Watch out!
[21.03.2026 15:19:47] Wilde.Nibelungenfluch: The Systems are going online!
[21.03.2026 15:19:56] Wilde.Vedrfolnir: Watching.

[21.03.2026 15:24:26] Wilde.Nibelungenfluch: [:::-(Command)-(List)-(Options)-:::]
[21.03.2026 15:24:43] Wilde.Vedrfolnir: You did succeed on the difficult part at least, that is more than We hoped.
[21.03.2026 15:25:09] Wilde.Nibelungenfluch: Seems like it...
[21.03.2026 15:25:11] Derelict-Filo.Escarlata: [1. Reroute Power Flows. 2. Decompress Secondary Reactor. 3. Engage autopilot. 4. Engage weapons.]
[21.03.2026 15:25:26] Derelict-Filo.Escarlata: [The list continues with items that aren't necessary.]
[21.03.2026 15:25:38] Derelict-Filo.Escarlata: [Even one named "Pinata". Whatever the hell that does.]
[21.03.2026 15:26:44] Wilde.Nibelungenfluch: Hmm.(*pondering*) So many choices, what do you think?
[21.03.2026 15:28:25] Wilde.Nibelungenfluch: Shall I override the Reactor ?
[21.03.2026 15:28:29] Wilde.Vedrfolnir: No.
[21.03.2026 15:29:07] Wilde.Vedrfolnir: For now, see how We can re-route the power flows.
[21.03.2026 15:29:29] Wilde.Nibelungenfluch: Alright.
[21.03.2026 15:29:49] Wilde.Nibelungenfluch: [:::-[List*]-[Reroute-options]-[Powerflow]-:::]
[21.03.2026 15:30:32] Derelict-Filo.Escarlata: [1. Reroute primary reactor 2. Reroute weapon TacLinks 3. Disable power flows 4. Self-destruct.]
[21.03.2026 15:31:00] Wilde.Nibelungenfluch: We've got 3 Options- Since self destruct is a no go.
[21.03.2026 15:31:26] Wilde.Vedrfolnir: Re-route the Primary Reactor. See what happens.
[21.03.2026 15:32:05] Wilde.Nibelungenfluch: [:::-[Access]-[Powerflow-Reroute]->[Primary Reactor]-:::]
[21.03.2026 15:32:34] Derelict-Filo.Escarlata: [Primary reactor offline. Secondary reactor online. Reactor shielding cracked. System leaking heavy radiation.]
[21.03.2026 15:33:04] Wilde.Nibelungenfluch: Seems like the Secondary Reactor wont hold out long...
[21.03.2026 15:33:24] Wilde.Vedrfolnir: Hm. perform a quick diagnostic and see if the meltdown is still in effect.
[21.03.2026 15:33:24] Derelict-Filo.Escarlata: [The ship appears to begin coming online...weapons systems included.]
[21.03.2026 15:33:43] Wilde.Nibelungenfluch: Hmm...
[21.03.2026 15:33:49] Wilde.Nibelungenfluch: Power seems to be online.
[21.03.2026 15:35:04] Wilde.Nibelungenfluch: Should I reroute the Weapon Taclinks?
[21.03.2026 15:35:32] Wilde.Vedrfolnir: Yes. Engage Autopilot too, link it to Us.
[21.03.2026 15:36:27] Wilde.Nibelungenfluch: [:::[Systems]-[Power-reroute]-[Taclinks-[/OFF]-[Autopilot]-[/ON]-[Autolock onto -[Wilde.Verdrfolnir]:::]
[21.03.2026 15:36:55] Wilde.Nibelungenfluch: That should work...
[21.03.2026 15:37:18] Derelict-Filo.Escarlata: [Weapons offline. Warning. Lack of draining of powercore sending systems into overload. You have: 35 minutes.]
[21.03.2026 15:37:59] Wilde.Vedrfolnir: Setting course for Fifty-eight.
[21.03.2026 15:38:04] Wilde.Nibelungenfluch: Confirm.

[21.03.2026 15:42:57] Wilde.Nibelungenfluch: Shall I scout Ahead ? or Stay in Formation ?
[21.03.2026 15:43:10] Wilde.Vedrfolnir: Go forth and report to Kaarst of Our prize.
[21.03.2026 15:43:27] Wilde.Nibelungenfluch: Exiting Formation.
[21.03.2026 15:44:42] Wilde.Nibelungenfluch: Theta Connection is clear.
