Salvation Aftermath
09 Aug 2022Darkcyde
I was docked at the Bright Sentinel in HIP 22460 when Salvation fired his anti-Thargoid weapon... It did not go according to plan... or did it?The weapon fired as expected, knocking out the Thargoid ships in the system, but another energy pulse mere moments later, revived them and knocked out all human ships. I mean ALL of them. They didn't stand a chance against the revived Thargoids, who were understandably quite pissed at Humanity.
Whether this was Salvation's intention from the start, or if the Thargoids had some anti-Guardian tech integrated into their systems in the base used for the weapon, we don't know yet. We may never know.
The system, is a mess. Toxic to all Guardian modules and weapons, they corrode as soon as you enter. The megaships and capital ships remain... or should I say 'remains'? Shattered, life-less, hulks. Debris fields are all over the system, leaving materials to collect for the very brave, or extremely stupid.
Thargoid ships patrol the system, arriving wherever human vessels fly in normal-space, arriving a minute or two later. And they shoot on sight.
I managed to pull a couple of logs from the debris around the Heart of Taurus, and one from around the Bright Sentinel. Barely made it out with 30% hull and shields gone. Not much in the way of information in the logs though. Just personal logs, two from before the firing, and one just after. They say the Thargoids are collecting the dead, and maybe the living too, if there's anyone left that is...
The next few days are going to be 'interesting'...
