Weve been tracking the unregistered energy signature from Sigma 13, still no sign of the vessel. I still cant belive that what ever this ship is, it's capable of destroying one of our battlecruisers.
Takes a short pause
The entire crew of the Bounty Hunter cruiser, Sangreal, dead, the ship, un repairable. 60 crewmen and 10 officers, and still we dont know what happened to them. Only thing we could find was the strange energy signatures that lead away from the derelict, into Omega space. We spent three days following it's trail. Now.. We arent sure where we are, my navigational officer claims that we left known space.. If this is true, then we better find what ever it is were looking for, and soon.
End Log.
Captains Log, OED 26th of July, 15.39.
Weve discovered what would appear to be a station on an asteroid in the middle of an asteroid field, it's signature makes it show as a Order station, or atleast it's used order technology. It had power and was showing human life signs, atleast 10. But when we hailed it, it didnt respond. Im considering sending down a commando team, to investigate and make contact with who ever is in control of the base.
"Alright men heres the plan: We go in split up into three teams, 3 in each. I'l take Alpha, Rodriguez you take Delta and Selene you take Gamma. Alpha will head to any command area, Delta will cease any hangar and or transport way. And Gamma will be heading to search for the humanoids on the base. Be careful soldiers, we have no idea what will be waiting for us down there. So keep both eyes open, and remember to inform the rest of your progress. Now let's do what were payed to!"
The large, brutish commander was grinning as the rest of the commandos screamed in choir: "SIR YES SIR!"
He didnt know that he wouldnt see most of them again..
The Drop ship landed on one of the platforms on top of the station, and the soldiers took on their helmets and ran out.
Alpha leader was the one that found the entrance first, he placed small explosives around the hatch door and blew it open.
They gathered once inside and sealed the secondary hatch, took of their helmets and they each took a route leading to some unknown location.
Alpha's route took them trough some strange corridors.
"Hey Sir, why is it so quiet in here?" One of the Alphas said as he walked and looked at the weird walls leading up to the door.
"Wouldnt know son, let's just hope that it'l stay quiet" Said the commander.. Obviously disliking the silence..
Delta was heading down into what could onyl be described as "A hell of a warm place" Obviously, this base was a refinery of sorts. As they noticed when they entered the next area..
"Wow... This must be an old mining outpost, probably a Zoner at that.." Said one of the soldiers, wearing a black and white bandana..
"Yeah probably so, but we didnt come here for seightseeing.. Let's move on!" Said the sergeant.
Gamma team had no problems finding their way trough the maze of corridors, and they had been closing in on the Humanoid life signs... They reached the last corridor as they looked down it, Sergeant Selene thought and hoped they would be friendly..
She waited while her two soldiers went up ahead to scout the area, she only took her eyes away for two seconds when she heard their screams...
She quickly looked up, and into the corridor. It had taken three seconds, and her men was lying on the floor.. Dead..
The small robot that hovered above their bodies started to scan the area with a purple ray..
Selene jumped behind the corner and sat down, she used her com.
"This is Sergeant Selene, to Alpha and Delta.. My men have been killed by something... Erh, a robot.. Or something, i need back up! Im in sector. .. ... ."
Her body fell to the floor...
Alpha and Delta regrouped and headed to Gammas last know position..
They never saw the robots, only the bodies of their men.. Some fell down right away, one stood and tried to hold on to the commander.. But it didnt work.. He fell into darkness aswell.
The commander and sergeant where the only ones left alive, they ran towards the Drop ship. When they came outside.. It was gone.. Only metallic parts where left on the deck where it had stood earlier..
It was then they heard the Buzzing sound and as the commander was turnign around to see what made the noise, Rodriguez fell foward.. Flat on the gound. The helmet open and air gushing out...
He saw it.. Just before he got hit.. He thought "This is the end..."
"Bounty Hunter Cruiser; The Fallen. You have entered our space. Your Ship and it's inorganic parts will be used for the construction of more Hunter Vessels, leave your ship or be terminated"
"Hunt, Adapt, Evolve, Infect"
The transmission ended and Captain Blake stood like a statue as he tried to make sense of what just happened.. He got disturbed when a ensign shouted:
"Sir incomming Cruiser! Dead ahead, it's powering wepons!"
Blake made a decision and shouted: "All man to battlestations! Get us out of here ensign! Full power to shields and Engines!"
The Fallen made a sharp turn towards the same way they came, it's Cruise engines starting, Blake was sure theyd get away before...
An explosion, an eardeafening explosion. The ship stopped, it's engines and shields offline..
"Report!"
"We where hit sir... Unknown weapon, it blew a hole in our side, engines are destroyed.."
Blake sat down and looked out the viewscreen at the Cruiser currently behind them and he thought "This isnt the end, it cant be..."
"Sir... Were getting a data stream from the enemy ship.."
"Disrupt it!"
"I cant sir, it's in our computers"

The ship went dark, every system.. Everything went offline.. Including Life support.. The last thing Blake saw was the ship interface colors changed from blue to purple.. Then he as all of his crew, fell into the eternal darkness of Death...
