Xefr's Adventures: Existential Crisis
guest9:
In a system far, far away from Shyr, a small group of Ghashyr explorers under the leadership of Captain Erixen is searching for a mythic Dragon called Xefr after being given information regarding his whereabouts by a rather impolite Dragonlord named Dervis.
The search for this peculiar reptile is of utmost importance to the Ghashyr crew that hopes to return bringing proof to the Talmyr that Dragons still exist.
...As the small frigate arrives at Dentibus Hydri, a powerful force shakes it and draws it out of its course, the captain slams his hand in the podium "Maximum power to all engines! We will not let this rift take us in and away from our objective!" soon the frigate stabilizes and heads for the nearest life signals. All of the crew awaits in excitement what will appear as they grow nearer...

The Vortex was a large, sprawling mess of blue psionic energy, with yet more energy flowing in to join the mass. Its pull was violent, but weak, and the Ghashyr were easily able to stabilize themselves.

The nearest, and only, life signs were in a very large craft orbiting the vortex. The light of the vortex made the words across its side possible to read, "The Soul's Eclipse". It was easily ten times the size of the ship Captain Erixen had met Dervis upon, but it appeared dormant. The life signs were clearly active, but the weapons, shields, and even engines seemed to be offline. Its communications systems however were online, but no attempt has yet been made to hail the Ghashyr, or really any sort of reaction.
Spoiler: The Vessel (hover to show)
Clocking in at about 10 km with a full crew of 15500 aboard, this vessel seems built for a war, yet wanders without purpose. It orbits the Vortex, with no apparent problems despite the violent pull.
guest9:
The Ghashyr freeze upon seeing the size of that ship ..it was about as large as an Azgorlanor-class dreadnaught, perhaps even larger. The small war frigate seemed miniscule in comparisson. Soon though many officers started admiring the beautiful patterns of the void...
Captain Erixen having his eyes stuck on the alien vessels suddenly makes a hand signal to the communications officer to open a hailing frequency, he clears his cape a bit and re-adjusts his hat accordingly "Ehem, Greetings Lord Xefr! We are hoping we're not mistaken ...I'm Captain Erixen, in service of her greatness the Talmyr and I wish to speak with you ..we were told that we could find you here by your friend Lord Dervis."
Ysylsen starts nervously munching her claws, while all await a response ...or at least any sign.
guest28:
There is no clear response. The line has clearly been received, but the other side is silent. But then, the massive frontal hanger of Soul's Eclipse opens up, as if inviting the Ghashyr ship to come in. Besides that, the ship is still eerily quiet and inactive, though the life signs inside seem to be moving around a bit more.
guest9:
Some weird thoughts, about the legend of the Ghost Ship that eats up spacers, cross Erixen's mind at this sight ...he seems rather frightened by the imposing silence.
He quickly turns to Ysylsen "You have command of the ship, I and paladin Myntorel will go in there alone ..Azgor Tal protect us!" Ysylsen nods and the Captain along with the paladin dress up in full armour and enter a two-seater fighter. They slowly navigate the fighter within the seemingly empty behemoth and land on its hangar. Erixen jumps out of the cockpit and in a loud, worried voice he shouts "IS ANYONE HOME?"
