Entry point 2 of 2
Necron"Translation complete, Lord Cap'n. Current coordinates unknown and indeterminable. All that's in the ship's immediate vicinity is the dimensional gate that has gone into passive mode and a large amount of debris. No enemies detected."
YOU"What happened to the dimensional gate?"
Necron"The Enginseers have proposed a hypothesis that it has entered some kind of recharge mode. After accumulating enough energy for a new translation, it will activate again... Or at least that's what all of us want to believe. Badly."
YOU"What happened to the dimensional gate?"continues where this line first appears above
YOU"What kind of debris?"
Necron"Those are ship carcasses. Judging by their markings, they were part of the Lord Inquisitor's fleet and likely acted as a patrol force. The damage doesn't look like it came from any weapon we know, and the way the debris are scattered suggests that the battle was short. Someone attacked and destroyed every one of them in the blink of an eye. Someone we have never encountered before."

Necron"Lord Ulfar may need to be informed that the coordinates his esteemed brothers travelled to match a location somewhere in these star systems."
Necron"Everything has a reason. The threads of my and my brothers' wyrds are tied together. I see Blackmane's will in our meeting finally approaching. Let us find them, Aett-Vater, for such is our destiny's wish."
