Traga stared out of the window of the massive starship. He found it hard to believe that the entire crew had mysteriously vanished, but they had. Fortunately the technology that pilots the ship was top notch, but Traga had another problem, he was in a part of space far from Atlas and Largo. Now, all of the endless wars seemed so alien to him, all he wanted was to go home and be amongst the familiar things he had known so well.
Traga worried that he might lose it without any human contact. The ship's AI was a very boring conversationalist and every time he uttered something aloud, he worried that he was slipping into the embrace of madness. He spent his time at the communications center, searching for any signs of life, either his crewmates or... anybody.
A green blip on the big grid began to flash, at first Traga didn't notice it but as soon as he did he searched for the frequency and initiated an ultra microwave transmission.
"This is survey ship Murkwet 6, if anybody reads me, I am a peaceful explorer. I am Secondary Commander Traga. I need assistance, particularly local starmaps and information. Will trade supplies. Does anybody read me? Over."
And with that he slouched in his chair, feeling hopeless. He turned the volume up to maximum in case a weak signal should come through. |
