Mini-Event


EVENT


One day, the Mnemosyne's sensors registers something unusual and the CL-10s light up to show a faint blip on the available short-range scans. Passive systems initially marked it as debris, but now L3TH3's own analysis reveals distinct structural patterns - artificial, deliberate. A derelict vessel.

The object hangs in the void, its silhouette jagged and uneven, as if time and space had waged a slow, corrosive war against it. Its hull is composed of a dark, matte material, absorbing most of the light from the surrounding nebula. Occasional metallic glints hinted at fractured plating, edges sharp like broken glass. It's small enough to take one, maybe two passengers. Not a ship to travel the ends of space with.

The vessel's shape is similar to a manta ray with a lattice of interwoven plates, some half-collapsed, others eerily intact. Small, irregular openings dotted its surface, their purpose unclear. Sections of the hull appeared fused, as though reshaped by intense heat or pressure. Faint scorch marks suggested prior damage, but there were no visible signs of propulsion systems or weaponry.


The Mnemosyne's scanners continue to sweep the ship, pulses of blue light rippling over its surface. The analysis returned incomplete data:

Material Composition: 47% unknown alloys, 32% organic compounds, remaining elements unidentifiable.
Power Signatures: Negligible. Residual traces of energy detected in isolated regions.
Life Signs: None detected.
Radiation Analysis: No hazardous emissions identified.
Quarantine Measures: Establishing containment procedures for potential recovery operations.


As the Mnemosyne drifts closer, external cameras capture the vessel in greater detail. The nebula's soft pink and purple hues frames the derelict ship, its battered form casting long shadows across the void. Automated proximity lights from the Mnemosyne illuminates portions of the alien craft, revealing intricate surface etchings - patterns resembling flowing script or circuitry, carved deep into the hull.

It drifts silently, its history unknown, its purpose long abandoned. Yet its presence in uncharted space raised questions that neither the Mnemosyne's crew nor its AI can yet answer.



Welcome to a little mini-event to stir things up over the Holidays! Crew can decide if they want to examine the ship further, take it into the hangar or leave it where it is.
