Several days later the turrets re-activated and started to destroy the junker ships that had been parked outside trying to break into the ship.
It then cruised towards the barrier ice cloud and was soon swallowed by it. After a few hours of mapping the cloud it returned to the lane hacker base and moored, although the dreadnought never opened it's hatches or allowed anyone onboard, it did hack into several robots on the base and then sent them on special errands.

Message to: Unknown Ship off Mactan
Comm ID: F-23 Dis aboard [ELF]Eris_Ascendant
*Attention: This is Mark-23 F.N.O.R.D. Ship's systems unit Discordia, hailing unknown ship. We are the ship responsible for delivering the hardcopy to you. We are requesting an update on your current ship's status. Who's in charge over there??*
"Unknown ship. This is Malaclypse 666, commanding Eris_Ascendant. If there are humans left aboard that ship, I am offering you transfer to and safe haven aboard the "Eris". Please advise on open Comms. We will also monitor Emergency frequencies. Please respond."
*Well, Mal... guess now we just wait...*
"Right, Dis. Whatever happened on that monster, we may never know unless we send over a boarding party. If we get any response from the metal-heads, I suppose we could offer them an F-23 transponder to facilitate communications; but other than that.... a little pinochle while we wait?"
