Pasqal"Requesting the right to participate in the first boarding party. Evaluating shuttle docking options."
YOU"Is there a safe docking spot?"
Pasqal"Not at the moment, Your Lordship/Ladyship. The damage to the hull makes observations difficult, and the surviving vacuum locks are sealed shut."
Pasqal"I hypothesise that the proper vacuum lock may be opened using my personal access code. Justification: a message from the Ark Mechanicus."

YOU"What do we know about the ship?"
Pasqal"Each Ark is a sanctuary for the Adeptus Mechanicus. Every such ship is a relic. They are incredibly ancient and were made to search for the sacred Standard Template Construct patterns. Legends tell of entire forge worlds that were literally disassembled for parts to make such vessels."
Pasqal"In any case, she is a ruin of her former glory. We observe numerous traces of internal decompression, but not a single sign of aggression carried out from the outside. For what it's worth, some of the decks look intact... At least, from the outside."
Pasqal"We are also picking up strange radiation emanating from the hull. We believe the ship has been in the Processional of the Damned for a long time."
