At the location, the two scout forces discover a rather unexpected sight. Babylon IV, the massive flagship of the United Empire, was floating freely through space. It's drive seemed to have been cut, and there were a number of holes in the hull. However, the external damage seemed almost superficial to the huge ship, and the force fields were fully functional. The weaponry seemed to be fully operational, and there was no sign of any other ships or opponents within the system. Scanners would detect, however, a massive power source in an adjacent solar system, easily readable even across vast distances.

The broadcast clearly originated from Babylon IV, although no further communications were initiated. There was no hail, no priming of weapons, nor even the usual automated warning message. The entire scenario defied all logic.

Nathan, unlike the Sergal, would of course realize what the power source in the adjacent galaxy was. The readings were familiar from the reports he had previously received, although it seemed to have moved hundreds of lightyears since the last patrol. It was Ygdrassil, the ancient bastion of the God Emperor, before Matt had lost control of the Plot Hole. He would further recognize trace amounts of Plot Hole energy within Babylon, indicating perhaps that this cataclym came as a result of tinkering with the ancient weapon.
