Cargo
Within ten minutes the exterior lattice was fully assembled and the beacon was ready.
Stefan smiled and gave Ana a thumbs up "Good work, get your space suit on and get ready. I'll get on the crane and position it.
Space
First to launch were the two Swordbreaker class interceptors, soon followed by the modified Onset shuttle, and lastly the Rüstung class frame. Not a very intimidating force by any means in the Kikyo sector, but it was enough to protect the Anbruch. The Rüstung had even been given an experimental space operation booster to make the flight.
Everyone was able to quickly close in and get eyes on what was ahead. What they saw was not what they expected though. Before them was a ship, easily cruiser class in size, but they did not detect any propulsion or weapons power. There were signs that looked like internal systems, however, but they constantly jumped around and threw off the reading. Whatever was going on though it was clear that this ship was moving in their direction.
Before they could react however something flew from what looked like a torpedo tube on the ship and rocketed past the team.
REAL Space
With the aid of the water scooter, Nan made his way forward quickly. He could soon clearly see his target an endless expanse of honey comb like structures going vertical and horizontal. Nan knew however that everything he saw was just the system interpreting data in a way that he could comprehend. It was all just data and any similarities to persons real or fictional were purely coincidence.
Nan's approach was cut off however, the first line of digital defense showed itself. A school of fish rushed in Nan's direction, he was able to move out of the way quickly, but the school did brush along his shoulder, and he felt a sharp pain. With a quick look down he noticed a piranha gnawing into his arm.
Anbruch
The whole ship rocked suddenly and then alarms began to sound. Something had happened, and it wasn't good.
Things were silent for several minutes, only the alarm to give any indication of what had happened, but then there was a ship wide broadcast from the captain.
"Everyone be alert, Ana, I need you on the lower deck outside the computer room as fast as you can hurry, and bring welding equipment and an EV suit."
