Lost my Master ship pilot a few days back. It was all my fault: Yarelli never knew what hit her.We'd dropped in to observe the Thargoids natural behaviour near Maia, and to try out our new Xeno Scanner. We'd appeared at a battle site in the Dana Scully and immediately sat still as the thargoid raced to us to perform a scan. It then turned away and started to move off towards one of the wrecks.
Unfortunately I didn't realise how short range the Xeno scanner works at. I chased after, only to find it stopped in front of me. Well, they are pretty large, and hard to avoid at full pelt, so I ran into it.
Immediately we were bathed in red, and a swarm of tiny attack ships appeared, which proceeded to rip the lightly armoured Dana Scully apart. And boy, for a large ship they don't half move fast.
I was saved by the inbuilt rescue mechanism. I can still hear Yarelli's dying screams as the capsule closed around me.
RIP Yarelli Dejesus. You will be missed, but not forgotten.
