There was a contract in Maia. I'm just a regular guy out to make a few credits, doing what I can to get by, but the cash on offer was too much to turn down. I took the Cobra. Fast, light and enough cargo space for the job. No arms but speed and stealth. The trip was smooth, I was three jumps out and just into the Pleiades and then saw a USS... Non-human? WTH...
Whoosh, I jump in and there's wreckage... A cutter. And fog. Green fog... And wreckage everywhere. Then the wreckage moves, but it's a ship, a flower? Petals?. It's like no other craft I've seen, oscillating, expanding, contracting, screaming and shifting the space around it like fish through water. A deafening scream envelopes me and my craft at it approaches and I'm blinded by the green light but it turns, shimmering and silent, back to the cutter wreckage, a green beam extending from its prow. Then, oh no, I see it, it's got an escape pod, that must be a tractor beam. Jeez that poor CMDR. And the pod is gone. I mean I've heard the old tales of Thargoids but could this be?
*Frame shift drive detected* A tear in space, the craft heads towards it bathed in green, orange, brown... And then it's gone. Black.
