Vent"But wait..." The Vox Master is silent for a few seconds. "Lord Captain, a new report! Kiava Gamma is sending a request to exchange data. Should we accept it?"
YOU"Accept the transmission."

Int-t-t-terference d-d-d-detected in the compartment's vox-syst-t-t-tem. Looks like the bridge is c-c-cut off from the rest of the v-v-voidship..."

Vent"Lord Captain, reporting: the manufactorum is ignoring all our requests and continues to send us its own. The longer we do not accept their messages, the stronger and more persistent the incoming signals become. I've... never seen anything like."
