After moving about the Omega-5 system we came across a gravitational Rift that was able to support passage for our Osiris. After taking the trip through it we immediately had to engage emergency thrusters as the entire area is covered in Cruiser size Asteroids. We took it slow and starting scanning the area. There was so much interference we had to do this a tad old school and searched slowly. We eventually came upon something unexpected. A
Derelict Liberty Dreadnought. Surprising and sort of heart breaking as I was once in the 5th Fleet. The ship was to damaged to make out the name etched across its hull and no response came from the vessel at all. We tried however.

[23.12.2019 05:56:07] Amenhotep: *Boosting Signal*
[23.12.2019 05:56:27] Amenhotep: *Maxing Signal*
[23.12.2019 05:56:55] Amenhotep: *Changing frequency, Morse Code transmitting*
[23.12.2019 05:57:40] Amenhotep: Lilly: We could try bording it.
[23.12.2019 05:58:20] Amenhotep: Asmodeus: Cant, the asteroids surrounding the ship make it impossible. to dangerous. We are struggling as is staying so close.
[23.12.2019 05:58:26] Amenhotep: Lilly: True.
[23.12.2019 05:58:51] Amenhotep: Asmodeus: Start the data logging.
[23.12.2019 06:01:02] Amenhotep: Asmodeus: You there, Miner. When did this gravitational rift open?
[23.12.2019 06:01:39] Abuelo.Pum: Carlos Grandpa: hello asmodeus...
[23.12.2019 06:02:54] Amenhotep: Asmodeus: Do you know or not?
[23.12.2019 06:03:00] Abuelo.Pum: Carlos Grandpa: i dony known
[23.12.2019 06:03:25] Amenhotep: Asmodeus: Alright, I would like a sample of the asteroid here, may we purchase one unit of the ore your mining?
[23.12.2019 06:04:30] IMG|Sharing.is.Caring: Hello folks.
[23.12.2019 06:04:33] Amenhotep: Asmodeus: Perhaps the Independent Miners Guild can help me then.
[23.12.2019 06:04:46] Abuelo.Pum: Carlos Grandpa: take your samples
[23.12.2019 06:04:47] IMG|Sharing.is.Caring: Help you? With what?
[23.12.2019 06:04:50] Amenhotep: Asmodeus: When was this rift open? Do you have any clue?
[23.12.2019 06:05:18] IMG|Sharing.is.Caring: I think about a week ago, but we sadly weren't the first ones to discover it.
[23.12.2019 06:05:38] Amenhotep: Asmodeus: Thats... unfortunate.
[23.12.2019 06:05:57] Amenhotep: Asmodeus: And the Liberty Dreadnought has not tried hailing you? Our hails went unanswered.
[23.12.2019 06:06:44] IMG|Sharing.is.Caring: We have actually checked on that, it seems there is no bio-activity on board.
[23.12.2019 06:06:55] Amenhotep: Asmodeus: My scans were correct then.
[23.12.2019 06:07:08] IMG|Sharing.is.Caring: You should be careful with that thing though.
[23.12.2019 06:07:11] Amenhotep: Asmodeus: Lastly, I need a sample of the asteroid here. May we purchase one unit?
[23.12.2019 06:07:23] IMG|Sharing.is.Caring: Sure thing.
[23.12.2019 06:07:40] IMG|Sharing.is.Caring: Uh, that solve got you a hundred, I hope that works too.
[23.12.2019 06:07:52] Amenhotep: A: You can take the rest, we only need one.
[23.12.2019 06:07:57] IMG|Sharing.is.Caring: Allright.
[23.12.2019 06:08:03] Abuelo.Pum: Carlos Grandpa: i see green humanoid in the abandoned Dradnought....
[23.12.2019 06:08:04] Amenhotep: Asmodeus: How much?
[23.12.2019 06:08:17] IMG|Sharing.is.Caring: Samples are free of charge.
[23.12.2019 06:09:01] Amenhotep: Asmodeus: Thank you, we will continue our search of the system should anything.. unsavory approach be sure to give us a hail.
[23.12.2019 06:09:11] IMG|Sharing.is.Caring: Sure. one more thing though...
[23.12.2019 06:09:12] Abuelo.Pum: Abuelo Crew Esteban: dont believe Carlos, he is creazy...
[23.12.2019 06:09:49] IMG|Sharing.is.Caring: Be careful with this wreck here. There were some rather unfriendly Gallics who showed interested in that.
[23.12.2019 06:10:04] IMG|Sharing.is.Caring: They brought an entire fleet here, not even your ship would match that.
[23.12.2019 06:10:20] IMG|Sharing.is.Caring: It's better to not turn this system into a warzone.
[23.12.2019 06:10:39] Abuelo.Pum: Carlos Grandpa: crew set course to te kappa system...
[23.12.2019 06:10:39] Rules Tip: This is a roleplay server, so keep your ship's name in line with the setting. Do not use references to pop-culture such as memes or distasteful subjects.
[23.12.2019 06:10:43] Amenhotep: Asmodeus: In this asteroid field I think we stand a good enough chance. However I am not here to fight. yet.
[23.12.2019 06:10:54] Amenhotep: A: Take care.
The only sign of life we did find was the Independent Miners Guild (IMG|) doing their thing and a Hessian Expeditionary Cruiser that seemed to not to care to much about our presence. After all we did try to defend Aland Shipyard while the IMG still controlled it. Unfortunate how that all turned out.
We found nothing else in the system but honestly its just to big to explore alone and I wont risk what Fighter wings we have left. I will try and dig up some old contacts in Liberty and see who is missing a ship.
