[b]EAS Icarus, Pulsar KR-2297[/b]
Alarms sounded all over the ship as the outer hull plating began melting under the stellar heat, the crew rushing to repair heat-damaged systems and seal off breached ares. Suddenly, the captain regretted taking the assignment to explore a pulsar on a starship named Icarus. Seriously, that wasn't tempting fate, that was yelling "come at me bro" while naked and unarmed.
"Electrical systems failing captain! All systems overheating, the sublight engine is gone!"
"Warp out!"
The science officer called out, instead of the usual ops-captain conversation that always seems to happen.
"Picking up an anomaly! Captain, you're not going to believe this!"
"I know Fergus McClain! Of course I'll believe it!"
"Our mass has decreased by a factor of ten thousand! We've just traveled though a dozen galaxies, I'm initiating emergency shutoff!"
The ship's warp drive abruptly shut off, and when it did the mass of the ship returned to normal. with most of the navigation systems down, the crew triangulated their position using a good old starmap and sextant. Turns out that they are in the worst possible place for an EA ship to be: above an Equiis Pact world. They quickly transmitted a message to explain the transgression.
"This is the EAS Icarus to Equiis Pact planet, we apologize for the transgression. It was completely unintended and the result of an anomaly that altered the mass of our ship. We were trying to escape from a pulsar about twenty galaxies away from here when the event occurred, the trip took us only a couple seconds due to the anomaly. We will attempt to enact repairs on our ship, and will leave your space as soon as we are able to."
