A Debris in Space
234th space year, 2686th solar year and day 457th. Our vessel encounter a debris of what looks like a remain of a battleship indicated by a pulsing energy coming from a fusion reactor used to power a gigantic photonic bow. We in turn, started our investigation.
While some crew are skeptic on the vessel origin as the ruined battleship looks similar to that of our neighbour Frankian. My colleague, Veruam Froun were not able to match any of the carving on the vessel with Frankian Intergalactic Language. In fact, it doesn't match with any existing FTL civilization Language signature or family thus we think this vessel is that of ancient origin.
We contacted HQ with our discovery and they order us to continue scanning the ruined battleship. We in turn comply with their order and start our deep scanning module to scan the inside of the ship.
We turn our attention to the seemingly gigantic bow that might be used to fire highly energized photon. Such a weapon would be very devastating to a vessel without or with a weakly powered energy shield. From our calculation most of our civilian vessel would simply be destroyed if its hit by this bow. We cant determine if our military vessel can face such as we are not authorized to our military databank. The bow in turn is remarkable piece of engineering as our mechanical and physical research and industry are insufficient to make such thing lest make it standard equipment on a battleship. whoever made such thing was a very advanced galactic civilization, much more advanced than us.
234th space year, 2686th solar year and day 459th. Two whole days had passed and we have found nothing but debris. The ship engines are badly damaged and cannot be recovered. The ship main hull are badly destroyed by what seems to be a giant explosion from the inside. most of my colleague have agreed that according to data, the ships were heavily damaged in a battle and tries to activate emergency FTL drive that failed spectacularly thus the FTL engines explosion caused the giant hole in the main hull. We suspect that the crew of the ship did mot survive such devastating accident or those who survived died soon after exposed to radiation from the blown reactor that used to power the FTL engine.
235th space year, 2687th solar year and day 5th. We spent our new year scanning what seems to be the the FTL engines and their reactor. While our team can somehow identify the reactor used as a advance form of anti-matter reactor a technology we might be achieving hundred years from now. However, we are unable to identify how the ship's FTL drive works. As you have probably read somewhere, we used the hyperlane lay down by whoever advanced enough to lay that space highway to do our FTL travel, but this ship used a strange device that seems to work by creating a makeshift wormhole in front of the ship and it travel through while maintaining it thus using a really great amount if energy. whoever used to own this vessel might predate the hyperlane or simply did not know of its existence.
235th space year, 2687th solar year and day 10th. We decided to board the ship to find any more useful data as our scanning device are unable to retrive any more data. A team of scavenger are assembled, me not included. i will be here on the ship to continue analyzing the ship's FTL drive. Sadly, i am sure i wont fins any more useful data as the drive is in a really bad state.
235th space year, 2687th solar year and day 12th. The scavenger team are back with a very exciting news. They found what seems to be a log of some sort. However we cannot dechiper its meaning as we do not posses any knowledge of the language used. The team also recovered what seems to be an emergency beacon, a device used to send a distress signal to a nearby friendly entity. The device that we found however are so arcaic that we have a hard time trying to activate it. If we somehow managed to activate the beacon than we know more about the civilization that used to own this ship if any of their relic survived.
235th space year, 2687th solar year and day 15th. We did it! we managed to reactivated the device thus we are ready to send the beacon. We only need the HQ approval and we are ready to go. My captain, Ikelugua Aksamu just cant wait for the HQ approval and started ordering to send the beacon ASAP. We thankfully managed to calm her down.
235th space year, 2687th solar year and day 15th latter day. Its here, the approval is here. My captain sporantically jumps to activate the beacon. We than started our instrument to measure the direction and hopefully calculate the exact place where the beacon is being sent. I simply cannot wait.
235th space year, 2687th solar year and day 17th. This is bad, really bad. We have analyzed the data we got from the beacon and we always arrive on the same conclusion. The beacon are sent toward The United Frankian Empire territory. This is really, really bad. Does the ship we just analyze part of their fleet or used to be fleet of ancient empire based on currently Frankian territory and their ship are built based on this ancient ship? We hope for the beat as our galactic empire, The Imperium of Ikrgua is in a bad relation with the Frankian. We can only hope for sure and we surely need The Frankian approval to continue our investigation.
