2000 AB-41

Not long after we had sent our last message, the storm worsened, and all of our communication devices went offline. Atop of that, our scanners stopped functioning, rendering us completely blind.
Half a day passed, and through the ever worsening storm, we heard explosions: we were under attack by the spaceship that had attacked us out in space. One ship was destroyed: it was hit by the attacker's missiles. Luckily, the ship's crew had taken refuge in the Prevox: their own ship was unlikely to survive the storm, whereas the Prevox was built to survive heavy battering.
Then, out of nowhere, more missiles were fired, but not on of our ships: our attacker was shot down, crashing into a frozen lake not far from our location. Our saviour was an unknown spaceship, about ten times the size of the Prevox, and seemingly ancient: it was covered in spacerock and spacemoss!
Then, the ship used its tractorbeam to lift the Prevox, the Elithion and the three other ships. We were taken out of the storm, and away from Icicle. Our navigation equipment was still offline, so we are not certain where we were taken.

Eventually, we were dropped at some ancient spacerock-covered docking station. We are now preparing to leave the ship, explore the station, and find out who or what saved us back on Icicle.

After we got out of the Prevox, we started searching for the other crews. After only a few minutes, we found them gathered in a truly massive hall in the spacestation: the only species we know that builds such gigantic structures are the Theleans. And generally speaking, the Theleans are nothing but bad news...

Together, we have been exploring the station for over half an Aera, and what we have seen so far has convinced us that this station was, at least, designed by Theleans. There are Thelean drawings all over the walls, Thelean shipwrecks can be found all over the place, and the architecture of this place is similar to old Thelean architecture.
Strangely enough, only half of the shipwrecks we've found so far are Thelean in nature: the others are of an unknown design, but they are certainly not Thelean. We wonder if this may have been the site of a battle between the ancient Theleans and some old enemy of theirs.

The ship that brought us here has not yet been located. We aren't even close to having explored half of the station, so it is likely to be found on another dock.

In due respect, if we do not get a reply for an alliance between Zyfiolos and the Prevox Fleet, we will view you as an enemy. We were waiting for a long time, and for no reply. Message over.

[Aegonian]

2000 AB-42

We have found the ship that brought us here in a gigantic docking station on the other side of where we were dropped. The ship appears abandoned: there are no signs of life, no movement, not even any light or other sign of activity. We will enter the ship after some preparations. One of the things we will need is an escape route: we do not want to get trapped inside this ship, especially not if it starts moving again.

Expect radio silence for some time: our communications equipment is unlikely to be able to breach the thick layers of spacerock and spacemoss covering this ship.

'The Cylarne'

As we stated before, the FPE is unfit for spacial combat (as our expedition to Icicle has proven), and as such, we are hardly able to offer any assistance to anyone. We can offer assistance in the form of transport vehicles, but we shall, in our current situation, not risk losing any ships to a cause that's not our own.
We would be glad to forge an alliance between Zyfiolos and the FPE, though. Allies never hurt, but we can not guarantee that we can offer any assistance any time soon. The current situation simply doesn't allow for it.

Message for the Prevox and Cylarne
We are not trapped within the this large ship, and seeing as we cannot seem to accurately locate the FPE, we could offer the Zyfiolos some assistance, provided they can wait for us to finish the construction of our science vessel. We have used the period of trying to find the FPE as an opportunity to land within an ice cave and expend our supplies starting it's construction.

It is by far no warship, but may be able to lend a few guns, medical help and engineering assistance. That is if the FPE does not require our aid in this mysteriuos encounter.

Kimball here.
We have managed to dig up one of the crystals. As we have no scientists on board, we are forced to put them into the cargo hold. From what we've noticed, the crystals appear to have geometric lines and shapes on them. It almost looks like circuitry. Not only that, they appear to disrupt certain electronics. I'm currently holding a crystal, and if I #___ # # ____-a-_ ####__-ow if I move away, the signal is fine. If I move them near lights, the light emitted nearly double, or the light burns out.

Anyways, that's mostly it for this entry. We are still digging up the crystals, and our scans have shown that whatever life is on this planet is moving away from us. So we can only assume that they don't know about us yet.

Message for all friendly vessels

We are happy to announce the creation of our Science Vessel, which will be known as the "Elemental Wonderer". It is outfitted with an EMP weapon, designed to temporarily disable adversaries, or the very least disable shielding. This is mainly to be used as a self-defence protocol, or used to prevent conflicts between otherwise allied ships.

Of course it also houses some of our more advanced technologies, and we are currently using it to attempt to track the Prevox. Unfortunately even if we do find them alongside the FPE, we do not have the firepower needed to properly secure against anything but a small fighter wing.

Greetings Thelean, it appears a large portion of your previous message was lost. Please could you resend the key points of the message. It would be most efficient if some sections are being corrupted by interference.

We are the remaining Trinks, and we are happy to offer Medical Assistance if you are injured, provided your claims of peaceful intentions are true.

Message from the Council of Zylfios, in answer to the Starship Prevox

We have received your message recently, and if you are reading this, you are very lucky to have. We have decided to take action and are sending a search-and-rescue ship to find you.

[Aegonian]

Time is short: the Theleans have woken, searching for their lost leader. The Darghaean station 'Aktebat', at which we are currently located, is under attack by a squad of Thelean hunters, the 'Errasmeyr'.
The vessel you call the Prevox has safely docked within my personal starship, but not before sustaining moderate damage from the attacks.

I have called for back-up from my followers, but their arrival won't be soon: we are in need of assistance.

We have battleships, but we do not know where you are in the vacuum in space. Also, where you might be will probably be too far for our ships to reach, as our long-range tele-port systems are mostly offline, destroyed or damaged beyond repair.

[Aegonian]

According to the Prevox Captain, this area is called 'Core Sector Agnet-Beta' by your authorities.

The Errasmeyr have so far been unable to breach my starship's hull, thanks to its automated defenses.
The Prevox sits safely within my starship's docking compartment, but the damage it sustained has caused its communications systems to malfunction.

2000 AB-I have no idea what date it is because everyone kinda stopped putting the date and it's been a while since the last post

It's been a while since our last broadcast... Turns out the crystals we found were no more than just magnets. Which is pretty disappointing. We've been away for a while. Some miners discovered part of our old planet buried deep within Kataklyzo. This piece contained a severely damaged super computer, which we are attempting to repair and analyze. Hopefully we will be able to learn more of our once powerful empire.

Message from the Exerevin to Akaton

We apologize for not establishing contact sooner, our Officials have been hesitant to allow us to speak to you. However we are not sending you assistance just yet. We would like to speak to Lyiin Atmaera about the situation before taking action.

This is Ly::. Atmaera of the Prevox. Our communication systems :.:e sustained moderate damage, and the Gorokh Heros' communicators are incompatible with our messaging systems, so I apologize for the bad quality of this message. //.
The Errasmeyr, which have been assaulting us for days, have been driven off t:e station, thanks to the Gorokh Heros' powerful au:.:::.: :.rr:ts. We are now attempting to repair the damage the Errasmeyr dealt, but we are low on supplies, and th:re are no colonies or havens in the Core sector, so we might be stuck here.

Our coordinates are 351.9.-3, Core Agnet-Beta, on board the Akaton Station, orbiting an unregistered red dwarf. Our scans did not detect any planets or other major bodies in this system.

Message for the Prevox
We would gladly come you assistance should you wish us too. However travelling alone and weakly armed seems unwise to us, so we'd prefer it if we formed only part of the reinforcements. If you do not wish us to come, we shall continue scavenging Trink Components from among the wreckage.

We would like to start working on the developmental process of creating a third ship in our fleet, this time a Carrier akin to the Notician varieties, however modified to be more compatible with our current fleet and armed with Drones as opposed to fighters.

We have attempted to repair our communication systems, but are uncertain if the repairs were successful. It is very possible that the spare parts we found only added to the instability of our comm systems. We hope you can read the message if it arrives at all.

We believe it to be better for you not to travel all the way here on your own. The Core is an unstable area, and even before the Blast many rogue ships never made it back. If you could attempt to contact the other FPE ships, we might be able to organize an extraction team.
If we can get out of here, we will be glad to help you build the cruiser: the data we extracted from the Archives includes articles on various Notician ships. Perhaps the data can be of use to the design and construction effort.
Speaking of the Notix, we have not yet heard anything from them since the Blast. We were able to contact a few Hymid on Hyrolia only a few hundred Aerii after the Blast, but attempts at contacting the Notix have never proven successful. We wonder if you know more of their fate.

[thunderpants]

Message for the Prevox
We would greatly appreciate any assistance in making our fleet more suitable for self-preservation.

However we do not know anything of the Notix Post-Blast. We where told to continue travelling and exploring until we stopped receiving a signal from a beacon placed with Tranq-While. The blast appears to of knocked out that beacon, thus signaled our return. We don't feel contacting the Surviving Notix is a wise idea, they where a rather greedy race, and the lack of government will probably mean they are undergoing a civil war of survivors. They would just use us as lackeys in their pointless feuds between the family clans.

Unfortunately, we must agree that contacting any surviving Notix may not be very beneficial to any of us. We hope that if any still survive, they will, at some point, restore their society to its former glory, but if they will at all, it may well take them thousands of Aerii.

After attempting to establish contact with the FPE a number of times, a response was finally received. The FPE has fully recovered from the attack on Icicle, and is making progress in gathering Hyverium from the ruins of Tranq'While. It is sending us a number of extraction vehicles, ETA 3 Aerii.

In the meantime, we have been investigating the Ghorok Heros (Akaton's starship) and the Aktebat Station. Not-classified data from the upcoming Mission Reports will be made public once we return to Icicle.

[Aegonian]

2000 AB-52

At 2000 AB-48, the FPE Extraction Team arrived at the Aktebat Station. Both the Prevox and the Ghorok Heros were repaired, and took off at Elithian dawn, 2000 AB-49. We were reunited with the rest of the FPE at Elithian noon, 2000 AB-51, at the derelict station ASA Unification. All crews were debriefed and Akaton was taken on board the Unification for sharing of intel.


With the discovery that the Theleans are still active and hostile, FPE security has been tightened. All public messages will now be sent directly at other starships to prevent the Theleans from gathering too much intel, and mission debriefing will, from now on, follow pre-Blast M-ASA protocols.

We can now confirm that the Aktebat Station was a major Haven-class station during the Theleans' 'Thordek Onos', their first space age. It was governed by the Dynasty of Darghae, of which Creaton and Akaton were both members. The station was abandoned during the Theleans' third space age due to attacks by other, now extinct spacefaring races, and it has been a derelict station ever since. The station has been marked as a future Site of Interest, which we hope to be able to fully examine when the Aeginian Navy is back to moderate strength.

The scavenging at Tranq'While has proven successful, and we will establish a base of operations on Icicle, from which we will coordinate future scavenging missions.

Our next move will be the exploration of a derelict ASA Base-class station, the coordinates of which must be kept classified until mission completion.


To the Miraculous Survivor:

The articles on Notician ships we mentioned before include encrypted schematics. We do not posses the key to translating the encryptions, but as Notix creations, we believe you may be able to translate at least parts of them.

- Lyiin Atmaera, Prevox Captain

[Aegonian]

2000 AB-55

We arrived at the ASA Base-class Station 'Evolution' at 10:21, 2000 AB-54. The Prevox docked at the station's Tower Docks, and exploration of the station began at 11:00, 2000 AB-54.

Though we have to keep the details classified, we can tell you that we found some things that were unexpected: the station, despite its official article in the Aeginian Archives claiming it to be ASA-controlled, was actually an AEG-Corps base. AEG-Corps was an Aeginian special forces organization before the Blast, which used revolutionary weapons and ships for their missions. This means we can not reveal its coordinates, which is why this message was not sent directly from the Prevox (as that would reveal our location).

We found several interesting things on the station, but one thing stood out: the heavily encrypted blueprints of the AEG-C42 'Trevax', the last Aeginian ship to enter the Sphere before the Blast. Its crew was on a mission to stop Creaton by whatever means necessary, and it used several technological revolutions to remain undetected and stealthily disable any hostile ships in its way.
If we can decode these blueprints, the FPE will gain a huge advantage in future fights against the Theleans.

We have been busy exploring more of the Evolution station, and have found a couple more useful blueprints and other equipment. Using some of the materials we found at the station, we have been able to upgrade our engines, and managed to greatly increase our maximum speed during space travel. The upgrade had to be performed while all the ship's systems were offline to prevent overloads, which rendered us unable to communicate for a couple of days.


Our next move will be to investigate a message we received from some Erixian survivors not long ago. We are trying to communicate with them, but so far, all communication has failed.

We will also try to travel back to the Gar-Aeroix, and activate the Alliance Network IC in that system using the activation codes we downloaded from the Archives. Activating these ICs throughout the galaxy will improve most communications, and will be useful in securing messages.

Delta-1 here with a technical report.
We managed to fix our communications. We also managed to fix our O.utput C.omputer D.iagram which had a rather large line of bugs in it, which in turn was stopping us from displaying our data signature and making our connection reliable again. Our H.olographic D.istortion E.mitter is has been completely destroyed.
After being left on for 1500 years or so, We suppose it had created a minature black hole which destroyed itself as well as a good part of our machinery, but the point is, we are pretty much stranded in a collision course towards the planet identified as Elithia.

Bravo-2 here. I have been picked as our temporary ambassador for our ship due to my age. I was birthed a year after the blast, and the aftermath was quite disturbing, I will give you that.

Back to the topic, I suppose I should greet you all formally. I am Bravo-2, Second Pilot of our ship which currently holds all known living erixians, all though it is quite possible some have survived back on elithia, but I don't expect them to look anything like us. Do to our highly volatile DNA structure, which is constantly chaging, they could look and act like some sort of... mutant race. Yes, I would say they are mutants. IF there are indeed any.
TO PREVOX CREW
Anyways, to save Dataspace, I have been told to contact the crew of the Prevox as well. We have recieved your messages, and we believe it is in the best intrest of both of our races to start with a friendly relationship. If you could try to help slow our descent into Elithia, we would be quite pleased.

Our databanks say that you are an old species to this system, and our Data scanners say that much like us, you live rather long lives. We would be pleased to help you set up a government for the younger races.
