Incoming Event: The Dark Drifter
Cadence narrowed her eyes at Mirrah as she spoke, not really knowing what to expect from her. Was she above the order of the council? Who was she? She mentioned that she was here to keep an eye on her progress; the thought of her still being a prisoner crossed her mind. She didn’t realize that the same female Dreshykk who spoke to Maxwell was approaching her now with her clipboard in hand.
“Here to watch me, huh? As in, making sure I don’t slaughter my crew is that it?” Cadence shook her head. “Listen, I don’t care what the Council or the U.S. Military has told you but if they think they can just keep tabs on me even though I am innocent then they’re wrong. I don’t want you on my ship-“she said but was cut off by the Dreshykk.
“My apologies commander but there is something that I am concerned about. There is an anomaly that I would like to investi-“the Dreshykk was cut off as well as the lights around the entire ship went dark and a strange noise that sounded like a huge rusted oil rig came from the outside. It sounded like the screech of a giant monster. Cadence looked around then pointed a finger at Mirrah.
“This isn’t over yet.” She said as she rushed over to Cayne.
“Zarubin get the republic online now!” she demanded but then the voice of the ship itself spoke over the intercom at all crew members presently onboard.
“Warning! Warning! All communications are down” the voice said mentioning every issue one by one, “Laser cannons offline, shields offline, ship controls offline. “
She left Cayne and rushed to Maxwell.
“Can you get us a visual of the ship, Saturn?” she said as she walked over to the intercom button.
“Dyar, Johanson, Akame, Janos, get up here to the command deck, now! Bring your weapons!”
