A Neptunian ship slid through space, it had damage to it, holes from plasma weapons. It didn't matter at this point, because the inhabitants were long sense dead by some unknown force. The ship was large enough to be worth docking for any salvage team, but small enough to not be prayed upon by larger factions like the Space Pirates, who didn't carry over anything from their organised predecessors. The name on the forward portside indicated the ship was once known as a noble H-3 tanker, Majuro Maru, but now was simply a floating wreak to be taken by whoever wanted it. The unfortunate Neptunians who were on the ship when the power died seem strangely absent, other than a few skeletons that couldn't possibly constitute even a fraction of the crew.
Today seemed unusually busy for the derelict ship, many ships seemed to be bearing down on the ship, mostly salvagers looking to pick the bones of the old ship.
(Sun)
Sun Kim climbed out of his ship, it had impacted the ship's hanger bay, and likely would never fly again. He luckily kept a space suit on in case of things like this. He slowly climbed out of his ship, pulling out a plasma pistol as he did. He turned on the light on the side of his helmet, looking around the hanger. There were a few working ships that he could see. He slowly walked over to one, then checked it, the only thing of note is that it was out if fuel. He knew this ship carried H-3 so he decided to explore further into the ship to see if its fuel reserves were still intact. His suit was filled up to his neck with water, so he could breathe with his gills, because water supplied more breatheable oxygen per cubic foot then air, or at least that's what the guy who sold him the water said. He proceeded into the ship slowly being sure not to trigger any traps.
(Heresh)
Princess Heresh Heratsec Vereshtec Vek Suriso sat in the cockpit of her ship, despite being.light.years from the homeworld she still heard the faint voices of her hive in her head. She heard before the war that any Vika could have heard their hive across the galaxy, now it was only whispers, perhaps reminiscent of what happened to the Vika people themselves. Once a proud and noble space fairing race they were now voluntarily isolated on Suriso, killing anyone who lands. She sighed and stretched, her feelers going strait up, and her wings spreading out behind her. She then sighed and got her combat armour on. The stuff was bulky, heavy, and it painfully crushed her wings, but it had saved her life on more than one occasion. She sighed as she put on the helmet, crushing her feelers in the process. She lined up to dock and said "All hands board, now." into the comm systems. She then got up to personally inspect what was going to.
(Ayn and Sharon)
The robotic sisters of death raced into the ship when given the order to board, they didn't expect to find anyone, but that wasn't why they were there. Sharon slid over to a control panel and put her hand against it, reverting it back into the nanite form, and bonding to the computer. She said "We are assuming control." in a joking way, followed by Ayn nodded and while moving forward said "She will have control of the ship momentarily princess." to the Vika behind her.

April flew a ship that she had salvaged that was still in good enough shape to fly. She had done a little repair work, but not a ton. The ship was probably in as good as shape as Elisa's, before Alex did any repairs on it. She was flying toward an old Neptunian ship, the Majuro Maru, to see if there was any useful salvage. She parked in the hanger, and noticed another ship there, that looked like it had crashed. She hoped that didn't mean there was someone else there. She then noticed another ship pulling up. This place seemed busy. She quickly pulled on her sleek space suit that had been with the ship. Surprisingly, it fit her perfectly. She hopped off the ship, hopping to get some stuff at least before everything was gone. She spotted a dude with water in his helmet, which she found really odd, decided to avoid him for now, and headed off in different direction.
Nymeri sat in the cargo bay of April's ship, behind some boxes. April didn't know she had a stowaway, because Nymeri wasn't sure how she would respond to having a cat-person on her ship. Once they stopped, she carefully stood up, the cat-person suit she had borrowed in hand. She figured she minus well go explore the ship. She put on the suit and headed out, sticking to the shadows and being careful not to be seen.
Norickamore was just going to fly past the Neptunian ship, but then he heard a whisper. He covered his ears, and still heard it. So it must be telepathic. One of his kind? No, this was different. Maybe a different telepathic race. He decided to go investigate, and turned to the ship, which was now getting cramped. He parked his ship and put his breather mask on. He had already discovered that he could walk in space without a suit, thought it was kinda uncomfortable and he wasn't sure how long he could keep it up. This was good, though, because he didn't have a suit.
He hopped out of his ship and went in search of the telepathic whisper, and also hoped he wasn't just going insane.

Juliette was flying towards the overly crowded ship that was being salvaged from . She was flying Vittorio's space ship, which was passed on to her when she became 'of age' to learn how to fly it. It made her sad, longing for her parents and wishing she could remember them at all. They had died when she was way too young, so she didn't really even remember them. It still made her upset thinking about the fact she was flying her fathers ship, and she would never know how he was as a person.
She joined in the docking on the ship, if there was any freaking room left to dock on the ship that would likely run out of stuff to actually salvage by the time she got anywhere. "Holy crap" She muttered to herself about how damn crowded the ship was. It was clearly a very popular target for looters. Once she was parked, she got out and looked around, then just in case, reached down to make sure her pistols hadn't mysteriously vanished from her holsters, in case they needed to be used. She let her Rifle behind though, figuring she could take out a threat with 2 pistols and her homing throwing knives if it came to it. For now, she just carefully wandered the ship, on high alert in case any of the others here were aggressive. Obviously, she had put her space suit on
(Grox)
The Grox guy, who didn't have a name, had ridden with one of the people salvaging the ship. Though, once on there, he had wandered off on his own, and was now inspecting some part of the ship it found interesting. He was talking to it in it's rather strange robotic language, making absolutely no sense to anyone around it. It did say something along the lines of "9994" once, but that was about the only thing that was understandable, and it was said rather quickly. Being the race that was fascinated with discovering new tech, even if it was lamer then theirs, and the race that were engineer's and mechanics themselves, it made him have an automatic curiosity for this particular piece of technology, despite the fact it was much less useful then any of his races technology. The Grox that were out exploring were here to absorb lots of information after all. That was pretty much their mission.
(Thomas)
Thomas was with the Vika for whatever exact reason he was working, or flying with a Vika princess. He just waited for them to land in silence. He knew once they landed that they would be off salvaging stuff, if the dang ship wasn't stripped bare by the time they got around to it. Based on how many people were here, that seemed possible. And also based on how many people were here, he could so see something easily going wrong with someone getting too desperate for an item and killing for it. Once they had landed, he suited up and waited for the Vika Princess' orders, or for her to leave and so he could follow her.

Sun glanced over his shoulder and noticed the person who seemed to just go in a different direction, he shrugged to himself figuring there was more than enough salvage on this ship for him and anyone else. He also figured there would be a shuttle for him to get off the ship. He calmly stepped into an airlock and it said "Matching pressure." and he felt a rush of air hit him. He would take off his suit but this ship was in such a state of disrepair he didn't trust the atmosphere to hold. He walked along the long corridor, briefly glancing in the rooms, this was food storage it seemed. He walked over to a crate and pulled out a pack of dried fruit, then detached his helmet carefully, draining water back into his pack. He had his helmet ready at a moments notice to put on in case of breach, but for not just ate his dried fruit happily, looking in each room, and they all seemed to be food storage.
Princess Heresh calmly waited for the all clear from her robotic hired guns, then said "Thomas, so salvage to your hearts content on your way to the H-3 tanks, then pump that silvery fuel aboard till the ship can't hold anymore, I don't feel like refueling for a while." she then gestured to Ayn "You go with him and take anything you want for yourself and your twin." the girl who looked around 14 nodded quickly. She then gestured for Sharon to follow her as she headed to the bridge, knowing that if there were any valuables they would belong to the captain, plus she wanted to know what happened during the war, and no one seemed to know, so she relied on computers to tell her.
Ayn turned on her heal and walked in front of Thomas as if she was protecting him, which he might take offence to given how she looked like a young girl still. She looked in the rooms as they passed, overriding the locks sometimes. The only thing she found of interest to her was a pocket watch, which she promptly took. However about half way there she opened a door and a rusted old robot collapsed on her and she let.out a scream of fear, seeing what to her was like a decayed corpse. She screamed as she was pinned under it and swiftly yelled to Thomas "Please, get it off, get it off." the robot was 'talking to her' because her particular style of robot sufferedmental illness for being activated suddenly.
(Far across the void of space)
People ran down a hall, the 'pirate' ship had a crew of 36 but only 6 had made it to the escape pod. They frantically looked at each other and one asked "Did you see what happened? " the latest one in shook her head "All I saw was blood, so much blood, it was like the person was using swords." they heard a knock at their door then it was overridden and opened to show a 36 year old Yami standing there, blood slowly dripping from the magnetic surface of her her plasma swords. She killed five of them in flurry of blood and guts. The last she slowly walked up to and he managed to simply ask "Why?" she stabbed him, but so he wouldn't die before she finished what she was saying "Across every single world, every space station, every ship, there are monsters that call themselves human. I am here to rid the worlds of this scum. Once I have done this I will turn my sword upon myself and kill the biggest monster of all."
(Errant Venture)
In deep space floated the once grand warship Errant Venture, now hardly recognizable with the armour thrown on and weapons stuck on randomly. The ship looked like how a kid might draw a starship, big bulky and covered in gun turrets. The internal layout was different too, more like Kauhu then Venture, with their research chambers. The leader was a ruthless 41 year old woman, who sat in a throne that was made for the AI Alan, who she hated with a passion. A person came up behind her in Phantom armour and said "Captain, we have another watch of 'recruits' from a pirate ship. As per your orders we killed off the males, and need your permission to conscript the females." she nodded slightly and said "Do it." then went back to watching space, then casually sent the frigate they had just raided into the ship it was stripping for parts. Her mind focused and they slammed together with huge force, blowing the weapons on both ships up.
