Halpert's report of the Baffin system has left me quite curious. Decided to check it out for myself and look around for a suitable position whilst Halpert communicates with the local zoners. All of a sudden an alien decides to intercept and... have a chat with me. They seem to know about us already and have said that they wish to protect us from whatever is happening in Kepler. Something to do with those spikey things located 20ks away from home. This alien, Eris they call themselves, started powering up something, and soon I realised it was a rift-generator of sorts. To convince me that they weren't hostile outside of Baffin, they pulled me into their jump and landed me in an unknown sector... their home. They tell me I'm a guest, but I know nothing about them. I jumped home shortly after... what a day.

[13.02.2022 11:25:13] '\S/'NX-01: Ensign: Uhh... that's...
[13.02.2022 11:25:14] Vagrant.Eris: ***(Curious) "Another one, of them..."***
[13.02.2022 11:25:27] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Oh no...
[13.02.2022 11:25:47] Vagrant.Eris: ***(Calm) "Dont be afraid, little one."***
[13.02.2022 11:25:47] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: We're doomed.
[13.02.2022 11:26:15] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: It's not firing at us...
[13.02.2022 11:26:29] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Also getting way too close for my liking...
[13.02.2022 11:26:36] Vagrant.Eris: ***"This Void - a place of peace. And yours are unarmed. Why should We?"***
[13.02.2022 11:27:08] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: It can understand me?
[13.02.2022 11:27:18] '\S/'NX-01: Ensign: Don't ask me.
[13.02.2022 11:28:14] Vagrant.Eris: ***"We can. The one that was called 'Leon'."***
[13.02.2022 11:28:40] Vagrant.Eris: ***"We know your kind. A rift-leapers, just as we are."***
[13.02.2022 11:28:47] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: That's weird... I never told this thing my name.
[13.02.2022 11:29:07] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: How do you know of us?
[13.02.2022 11:29:18] Vagrant.Eris: ***"We know yours from the others. We seen yours in their thoughts."***

[13.02.2022 11:30:36] Vagrant.Eris: ***"We was searching for you. We are..."***
[13.02.2022 11:30:55] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: I have half a mind to jump away. Seems my scouting here will have to wait.
[13.02.2022 11:31:02] Vagrant.Eris: *it sends Leon a vision of dark matter storm. And stations inside of it.*
[13.02.2022 11:31:32] Vagrant.Eris: ***"You seen there something that evil to all. Even to us."***
[13.02.2022 11:31:46] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: That's... why... What's my home got to do with this?
[13.02.2022 11:32:21] Vagrant.Eris: ***"It could find you, and you are doomed. But we could protect you. You seen the bells. The beacons. You know them well.
[13.02.2022 11:32:29] Vagrant.Eris: Resting among the Prophet."***
[13.02.2022 11:32:33] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: And why does me being unarmed matter? Your kind has obliterated this ship before. Why should I even listen?
[13.02.2022 11:33:35] Vagrant.Eris: ***"You shouldnt. You are free to run away if you wanted so. But they would find you. And they would take others with
[13.02.2022 11:33:42] Vagrant.Eris: you."***
[13.02.2022 11:34:53] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Halpert's report... those spikey black things?
[13.02.2022 11:34:57] Vagrant.Eris: ***"If you all wanted to live - you must to move your 'home' from that dying void. And you are, Leon, must to forget what you

[13.02.2022 11:35:09] Vagrant.Eris: **"They are..."***
[13.02.2022 11:35:27] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: So let me get this straight.
[13.02.2022 11:35:43] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: My experience with your kind has been unfortunate.
[13.02.2022 11:36:05] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Here you are saying you can protect me from whatever is coming, just because I know of these spikey things?
[13.02.2022 11:36:10] Vagrant.Eris: ***"This 'things' are calling for the pure evil, if activated. It activates by the memories of it. Summoning the hunters, that

[13.02.2022 11:36:55] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: You really gotta try hard to convince me, why would I trust you about this?
[13.02.2022 11:36:56] Vagrant.Eris: ***"Our kind is... Differ. Different tribes of ours."***
[13.02.2022 11:38:14] Vagrant.Eris: ***"Why? Because if i will go away, they would find you eventually. And, ofcourse, your curiosity will lead you to us again."**
[13.02.2022 11:39:31] Vagrant.Eris: ***"This one name is Eris. We cannot give you something more than our word. You never be harmed by us, and we
[13.02.2022 11:39:50] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Eris, huh? Like the planet over there?
[13.02.2022 11:40:00] Vagrant.Eris: help you to clear your thoughts from the dangerous memory. The Hunters will never came for you after that."***
[13.02.2022 11:40:20] Vagrant.Eris: ***"The planet? Oh, yes. Indeed."***
[13.02.2022 11:40:58] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: An alien is named after a planet? What the hell am I doing...
[13.02.2022 11:41:32] Vagrant.Eris: ***"Not after planet, by after ancient goddes of your kind. Yours gave Us that name. And we like it."***
[13.02.2022 11:41:52] Vagrant.Eris: ***"They gave it to us, because we are protected them."***
[13.02.2022 11:42:24] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Who in particular do you protect?
[13.02.2022 11:42:57] Vagrant.Eris: ***"All who searching the way of peace and coexistance, from others, who seek only for darkness

[13.02.2022 11:43:44] Vagrant.Eris: ***"The tribe of your kind that habitating in this Void was the first one who we protected from the darkness. Grey-minded deser

[13.02.2022 11:44:34] Vagrant.Eris: ***"We? Perhaps, the other tribe. We fight only when we must to do so. Like, to protect the our kind."***

[13.02.2022 11:45:12] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: Tribes? Nonsense. All of you are the same.
[13.02.2022 11:45:38] '\S/'NX-01: Leon: You're a talkative one... could be different elsewhere.
[13.02.2022 11:45:39] Vagrant.Eris: ***"False. It is not. We are not the same. We was separated by accident."***
[13.02.2022 11:46:16] Vagrant.Eris: ***"Both tribes changed. We adapted in one way. Others in another."***
[13.02.2022 11:46:58] Vagrant.Eris: ***"We are seeking for prosperity and coexistance. Other's seek only for death and stagnation."***
