Agent: Yes sir! *Proceeds to call a containment unit drone as other agents approach the alien with wariness*

Engineer Norak: I think it is the curse of our passion sir... just that... *Chuckles* Let's make haste team! This station is going to an unknown we simply cannot afford to venture in yet. Not if we know the stories of the fools who first tried using experimental black hole drives in early space exploration endeavours

Norak's assistant: Such a pitty...

@The Odeoron

Droll: And one more thing. If he resists, blow his head off.
*Starts toward the warp chamber*

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

So are we clear to leave this place? I need to go to therapy or a temple for consecration after what i've been through. Not complaining about this, after all this are the risks of a scout's job... *Sighs tired*

@Gerald 1

*Coughs, and blood stains my closed fist*
I'm requesting hazard pay.

@Etcetera

Remnah? Are you alright? *I ask as we are now back in our scout freighter* Right... suffice to say, we're not doing THAT again!

@Gerald 1

*Shakes my head*
Who knows what that alien did to us? What side effects this might have?

Engineer Norak: My iteration wasn't that it makes sense the reactor is compromised beyond repair because it is old, though that did indeed play a part in it. The anomaly or... er... the alien, was responsible for weaking the quantum suppressors that were already damaged by time.

As for saving him sir...? I don't know... i'm not part of the government like yourself. I do believe, however we should proceed with caution.

@The Odeoron

Droll: *Chuckles*
You techy types always lack confidence. Alright team, hurl him in a containment chamber and let's get out of here before the sucker blows.

@Etcetera

*In the meantime the engineer contacts you after the matter*

Engineer: Uh... sir? Sorry to call you out of the blue like that, but things are not looking good here... This archaic reactor has been compromised beyond repair. I don't know what's gonna happen to it, but blessed be the light that there is no nearby star system here. All i can say is thoughts and prayers and we ought to evacuate ASAP

@The Odeoron

Droll: Of course it is.
*Chuckles*
The next question being: do we save the alien?
*Looks over at Ben*
What say you, engineer?

*Blinks perplexed again after only remembering that here there is a language barrier* God damnit! Time was supposed to freeze... here not in my place! Also... *I try to make signals with my fingers at my temple and at yours again then signal at my mouth emphasizing if there is a way to communicate intent rather than words*

@The Odeoron

Droll: Ah, I see.
*Transmits an overwhelming psyonic force, rapidly swapping between difference wavelengths to see what best resonates*

Myriad Reality

@Etcetera

Well... i guess nothing good can come out of this encounter you two... just get back to your ships, For my part i apologise for coming off as such a bad guy... *I proceed to exit the rift only to be met with an approaching Officer Droll Heelton* what in the...?

@The Odeoron

Droll: *Lifts a hand and speaks to the soldiers behind myself while looking at you*
Hold. I don't take it we're so lucky that the alien speaks our dialect, eh?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Agent 1: Roger sir... whatever this is, it seriously gives offputing and unnatural vibes, like it's entirely opposite to the natural flow of our universe don't you think?

Agent 2: Should we off it on sight sir?

Agent 3: Can't believe i've been assigned to this station again in so long... man...

@The Odeoron

Droll: Stay on guard men. When you see the target, do not engage. I want to see what it's about.
*Cracks my knuckles*

*As you take off through the vast decks and halls and warehouses of this derelict station, you can't help but begin noticing several ghostly fractures in reality akin to a fata morgana, these however would not be visible to most other people but to your trained eyes. And you begin getting an unusually gnarly sensation of cognitive dissonance from Benjamin's general energy which gets you closer and closer to wherever he may have entrapped the scouts*

@The Odeoron

Droll: *Telepathically*
Be on your guard. We're nearly there.
*Emits a psyonic probe to gauge the psychic danger*

*You arrive and are warped right at the outermost floodgate before the reactor proper and, to be fair, it already looks bad, what with the red lightning of exotic radiation and energy shooting way out here*

Engineer: I.. uh... am glad was dragged here sir.. but... eh... knowing you, and seeing this why should i even ask?

@Gerald 1

*Chuckles*
You, stay here and work on this. I'll leave one of our agents with you.

Ulhey'Tia: The Apothika United Empire counts on you officer! You haven't failed us once! *I salute*

*However, just as she finished saluting you, Officer Droll Heelton, you are struck by a sudden migraine, your enhanced psionics and deep training mixed with potential use of cybernetic enhancements in the brain are warning you that things just got worse before anything the fleet could have detected. The black hole reactor of the station is becoming increasingly unstable... whatever the anomaly (Benjamin) did with his time or dimensional powers has interfered with the already thin veil in the reality caused by this experimental and very dangerous reactor...

Droll: And we're not about to start now.
*Salutes with a smile, before wincing and putting two fingers to my temple*
Let's hurry.
*Leads the troops into the warp chamber and drags an engineer with us*
