The Hyperspace Incident
14 May 2021Marcus Hearth
It all Started after I had finished some modifications on my Python, Our Carrier was scheduled to Jump Home once finishing up a mining expedition so I hastily met up with it so I wouldn't be left behind, it was the usual routine.. Just dock, perform checklist then simply enjoy the RideBut this time around was different... I was patiently waiting for the scheduled jump while going through my diagnostic checklist to ensure my ship was ready and secured while making sure I didn't forget anything, as the timer counted down there was a mechanical failure that caused my pad to Delay in the Lock Down procedure which the safety countermeasures did not pick up so the FSD continued charging, I panicked and tried to Contact the bridge but it was too late
The Jump initiated and I was ripped away from the carrier as it went through the portal due to my ship not being secured in the Hanger, I can't exactly recall what happened but my vision went black and I felt a strange sensation, my vision eventually returned and what I saw was no short of terrifying, outside my canopy I saw.... Nothing, the carrier was Gone but I was still secured to a Floating Landing pad, there were No Stars, just Blackness... After a moment of being frozen in my seat I attempted to take off but my Ship would not respond to any input, it was clearly still functional but it just refused to listen to me
My COVAS suddenly glitched as if it was trying to say something but it was just gibberish, I began to hear that odd whispering you usually hear in whitchspace when jumping but it was clearer and amplified while I heard sounds outside my ship... Like tapping or something climbing on it, a shadowey figure suddenly lunged at the glass canopy and cracked it just as I blacked out, after an undetermined amount of time I sprung awake still in my seat but in the carrier this time, I assumed it to just be a nightmare after I must've fallen asleep but then I noticed something.... That Crack... Was still there
