*The door slides open and i come out all covered in all manner of trinkets from the ship's storage as i spit out a piece of confetti* Heya folks! *I seem to speak your people's language all of a sudden.*

@The Odeoron

*Slams the emergency broadcast button*
This just got much, much worse.

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Monk: You are exactly right... unfortunately not many realize this before an experience teaches them that. Now... It is fair to assume you are ready for the fleet to warp out of here? Things are bound to take a turn for the interesting in the next few cycles.

@The Monitor 2

Droll: I think it's time you explained just who exactly you are.

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

U... uuh... the ruined station we were researching?

<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

Did you hear that Rem?

@Gerald 1

Unfortunately... I do.

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*smiles calmly* As if you couldn't understand what just transpired son...

@The Monitor 2

Droll: I've been around the block a few times. But if my experience has taught me anything, it's to not judge a book—or an experience—by its cover.

*you don't see any but you definitely sense this is no fake, he's an Apothikkan elder probably well within his thousand years*

Monk: Is there a problem son? When was the last time you visited any temple Officer Droll?

*Nevermind the fact he just spoke your name and rank as if that's no big deal. Even telepathy takes concentration but this is some next level oracle powers*

@The Monitor 2

Droll: What business do you have with me here?

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*Nods and swiftly starts interacting with the ship's computer and navigational systems for a quick check before i gasp as the holo-screen for our location shoots up*

Idologyia-Ordit-Galaxy

Th... this is Idologyia Ordit. Nevermind a neighbouring galaxy, try the furthest galaxy in the local cluster! *I yelp*

@Gerald 1

How did we even get here? An ephemeral wormhole?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

So... Uuuuum... Are we good? Or are we in a different galaxy entirely? *I say with a shaky voice clearly freaking out*

@Gerald 1

*Places a silent hand on your shoulder for a few moments before speaking*
Check our coordinates. Measure the locale delta.

Monk of light visit

Monk: Blessed be the light of Lysthiell child!

*you would probably be confused as the ship you are on had no emissary of the religion unless he was a stowaway*

@The Monitor 2

Droll: *Immediately looks for any guest badge on the visitor*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*you are suddenly pinged at the door of your room suddenly*

@The Monitor 2

Droll: *Gets up with a stretch and makes my way to the door*

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*Checks our fuel stocks and coordinate location* This is not right... it says we are full... aand... uuh... we are in our neighbouring galaxy... Rem?! I'm freaking out! Did we get affected by that damn relic?

@Gerald 1

Some kind of spacetime distortion? I'm really not sure.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by The Monitor 2>

@Etcetera

Uuum... Rem?! What just happened?

@Gerald 1

You guess—as good as mine!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*you feel a comforting hug as the power of your people's 'god' fills you with resolve, and a whisper says:* You did well child!

@The Monitor 2

Droll: *Glances up for a few minutes, and then sighs before pulling a book from my drawer*
I must be hearing things in my old age.

Myriad Reality

@Etcetera

*Frantically begins prepping our ship for warp drive*

Rem!!! We need to get out of here N-O-W!!

@Gerald 1

*Runs my fingers across an interactive hologram terminal like a masterful pianist*
We're too depleted to warp with our current momentum and fuel reserves. It's going to pull us in!

Ulhey'Tia: So are you sure ------

*I get interrupted as the station implodes and drags a couple of our ships in. You don't get affected by this because at this point you are back at your base.*

Ulhey'Tia: Will get back in touch with you Officer Droll Heelton! Praise be the one who brings light!

*I shut off communications as the fleet begins evasion tactics*

@Gerald 1

...
*Steps toward a port-side window and looks out into the distance, before finally sighing*
Never a dull moment, eh?
*Lights an incensed candle and sits down at my desk*
