Navis"Eurac V continues to ignore our broadcasts, Lord Captain. I daresay it may be due to the malfunction of the station's vox-systems or a station-wide emergency preventing contact."

Navis"Lord Captain, reporting: the heralds of the Navis Nobilite continue to maintain vox-silence. Perhaps due to Eurac V being off-limits to visitors — we intercepted signals from the beacons drifting in the station's orbit. The demands are clear: we are told to turn the ship around immediately."
Navis"We have also detected an accumulation of space debris near the station's docks. Presumably, it is the remains of interplanetary shuttles. Perhaps the esteemed Navis Nobilite House requires aid... and therefore, cannot respond to our vox-transmission."
YOU"Contact the station again, I will negotiate personally."
NavisThe vox relays the cadent sound of grinding gears and clicking tumblers. "I am sorry, Lord Captain. The station does not reply even after an official greeting by a Rogue Trader and the declaration of your intent to negotiate in person."

YOU"Order the augur crew to scan the station."
Navis"Yes, Lord Captain!" The vox remains silent for a while, but then you hear static and Vigdis's measured voice: "The officers from the augur crew performed a full scan of the station, but the information is imprecise. They note wave distortions of unclear genesis that are throwing off most of the readings."
Navis"We were able to ascertain that the reactor core of the station is still active, but many compartments are unpowered and some fully depressurised. The signs of biological activity are largely present in the central module, which means the station has not been abandoned. So, the question remains, why are the esteemed Navigators' heralds ignoring us?"

YOU"We will not invade a Navis Nobilite station without first acquiring official approval."
Navis"Lord Captain, only the Navigators are blessed with the gift of steering ships through the Immaterium. Anyone else would succumb to the same nightmarish influence it projects on the crew and the vessel. To attempt traversing warp space without a guide is a fool's errand!"

YOU"Order the crew to commence docking with the station."
Navis"Affirmative, Lord Captain. We do not know what is happening at the station, so you will have to look for the esteemed Navigators blind. Dock safely, and may the God-Emperor light your path."

Navis"Forgive me for intruding, Lord Captain, but I feel it is my duty to remind you that the Navis Nobilite are highly respected citizens of the Imperium, Humanity's guides through the warp. The power and status of a highborn Navigator House is akin to that of your protectorate. To aid them in their hour of need is to acquire an influential ally."
