Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

*All controls seem to be inoperable, or at least have no effect- terminals wake up to input however, and indicate a failure of the primary reactor with the recommendation to apply an external power source to jumpstart it back to life*

@Magnanimity

We are going to blow ourselves up if we try to fix this...

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

Yes. But I have never figured out what it is. Probably some sort of power source we don't have where I'm from.

@Magnanimity

*Walks over to look for any accessible control systems*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

*Follows behind you*
Sure hope so.
*We enter onto a balcony overlooking a massive room, with a network of massive machines, terminals and the works surrounding and connecting to a massive chamber resting in the center of the room at “ground” level”*

@Magnanimity

Wow. Ever seen anything like this before?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

*This door seems to still function enough to slowly pull itself open upon approach, though clearly not as quickly or steadily as it was designed to, and stops about halfway which still leaves enough of an opening to enter*

@Magnanimity

That's good enough. Hopefully no turrets.
*Slides into the opening*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

Maybe. Would a warship need a factory on it? I’m not sure how this hyper-futuristic society thing works.

@Magnanimity

As long as it doesn't stand for "Caution: The Overdeadly Room," it's probably worth checking.
*Pushes against the door*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

Besides the unwavering loneliness, yeah. It kind of feels weird to have come back and have someone to talk to.
*As we round a bend, we come face-to-face with a larger door than any of the others we’ve passed so far with a shattered sign lying on the floor, clearly incomplete yet intact enough to read the letters “CTOR”*

@Magnanimity

Factory? Reactor? That would lock in your status as a lucky person forever.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

It was a warzone. I’m not so sure I want to remember what happened for that reason alone.

@Magnanimity

And now it's someplace eerie. I can see why you chose to move out.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

I wish I could remember exactly what happened here… Well, maybe I don’t. I take that back.

@Magnanimity

Maybe it's really not as bad as you're afraid it was. You never know.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

It’s not new or anything though. I’m not sure how much ground I covered in my time here, but I never even saw a trace of anyone ever manning these ships. It’s like they weren’t just killed, but straight up vaporized. Raptured.

@Magnanimity

It started depressing, and now it's creepy.
*Shivers*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

This ship seems pretty intact. It might take a bit, but I think we’ll find all the things you’d expect on a futuristic warship.
…
Except a crew.

@Magnanimity

...
*Kicks the wall with the side of my foot*
That's pretty depressing.
