Somewhere in Venturian SpaceBGM: EVE Online OST: War Relics https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCFnIoCN68Y
As the inhabitants of Venturian went about their business, a small city floated its way through Venturian Space, its citizens sleeping peacefully within. It was late waking them up. Whoever configured the crew awakening protocols must have made a mistake somewhere along the line. The space station had already come within a days travel of multiple inhabitable, even already colonized, planets. Or could it be that the city could somehow feel potential danger lurking within this new galaxy? Could the city be alive? Fighting against its own programming to preserve the lives of the crew within? A siren blares within...
Sirens blare throughout the space station simultaneously, the dark lit corridors are all suddenly flooded with light. Air tight doors all blow open in sequence as the pressure within is stabilized and life support comes back online. The city whirs to life as the primary generator block begins to emanate a powerful buzz in the lower sections of the city. All of the stations systems come online one at a time. A large hangar-like chamber, filled to the brim with cells, begins to see the most activity. All manner of warning lights and life stabilization instruments begin to activate, filling out their purpose of restoring the Angels of Heaven to life. The doors to the maintenance crews stasis pods are blown open first, the engineers within jumping to life and wasting no time getting to their stations.
The engineer that was clearly in charge stood tall among his newly awakening subordinates, shouting orders.
"E-Teams Alpha through Epsilon, get to your respective engine rooms immediately! I need a full status report on those thrusters! E-Teams Zeta and Eta, report to the communications array, STAT! I need multiwave pulses sent out Yesterday! Find all planets bearing life within our current AO!"
The Engineers quickly bustled around, reporting to their respective positions. Forty or so to the bridge, twenty to Communications, forty more to the engines, and scores upon scores more splitting up throughout the station. Just as the large chamber began to empty itself of engineers, the Stasis pods for the support staff, intelligence officers and operators blasted open. The tenants of these cells were especially slow exiting their homes for the last Ninety Millennia, however they were far less imperative to the operation of the station itself. As the support staff broke their ranks and reported to their designated positions, one Operator in particular stood lazily in front of a particular pod.
A thin, medium height girl with brown hair wrapped up in a ponytail, green eyes, and a smile that could melt ice. She waited patiently for her favored pod to open.
Finally, the most heavily decorated group of pods, which wasn't saying much, blew open. Out stepped a hodgepodge of differently uniformed individuals. Command staff and their elite units, the Guardian Angels slowly stepped out, most of the Guardian Angels cracking their necks and stretching their arms and legs.
BGM: Chrono Resurrection - Battle With Magus https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ogZjHUyVeEOne in particular approached the patient girl, the one friend who's been by his side since he was a child, and spoke.
"It's nice to see you again, Lachesis. Any idea how long we've been out?"
"Well, ya big lug," Lachesis started," If the shouting I'm hearing down the way is correct, we've been in stasis for somewhere around... oh... Ninety-Thousand Years. We've wound up in a galaxy we're not particularly familiar with, but there's life here for sure. So tell me, Phenom, how'd you sleep?"
Phenom looked at his pod and back to Lachesis, "I slept well. Thanks. Let's head to the Bridge and see what's going on, huh?"
Though Phenom was stoic most of the time, this girl was the only one who Phenom would willingly show emotion around. Together, they walked towards the bridge of Heaven, Lachesis cracking jokes as she does in times of peace. However that peace would not last long. Shouting from an Engineer team heading away from the communications array quickly halted that.
"They're just disappearing! Don't ask me how, they just are!" one cried. As they passed Lachesis and Phenom, the Guardian Angel grabbed one of the engineers shoulders.
"What are you talking about? What's disappearing?" Phenom asked, staring down the corridor. The engineer looked up at Phenom as he answered.
"Stars! You know how multiwave pulses usually return information from much farther than we really intend? Well, the readings are indicating that stars outside of this galaxy are vanishing one by one, and they're not exploding or collapsing. There's no Nova Echo. They just vanished... gone entirely. And its occurring in a perfect radius around this galaxy."
"Strange..." Lachesis pondered.
"Notify command immediately. They'll certainly be interested to hear about this."
"And of course they select me to lead this investigation." Phenom complained as he and Lachesis made their way towards their units quarters.
"Well you did hear about it first, Phen. Besides, you love working, you know that. Don't try to tell me I'm wrong, either, I could hear the excitement in your voice during the Morkt Crisis." Lachesis said.
"The Morkt Crisis, huh? Lot of good averting that catastrophe did. Planet exploded 6 years later..." Phenom groaned.
"Well now you get a chance to stop these stars from vanishing. Maybe. Brass thinks it has something to do with this galaxy, considering the perfect radius in which they are vanishing. So what will you do?" Lachesis asked.
"Exactly what I've been ordered to do. Uncover the cause of these disappearances and put a stop to it."
