Alright then. Let’s bring her in close enough to get some work done.
*Pushes a lever forward a bit, increasing the radius of the projected sphere of space protecting us and the ship a bit, and I fly in just above the storm, lowering the ship down to the point where the sphere dips into the storm just a bit*


*Looks for windows or screens with video feeds*

*Chuckles and glances forward*
Alright, it’s time to get started. We are in Brinkspace, so beyond this ship, there is an amount of Outside. Fortunately, there is also some amount of normal space, so we can be sure that signals and scans can work. At least, outside the storm. But we can minimize faulty pickups if we get real close. Are you opposed to that?


*Shakes my head*
<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Not quite a natural phenomenon like these. Well, not hopefully it’s not natural, because that would mean it’s the one we’re looking for.
*Glances back at you*
It’s quite the site, wouldn’t you agree?


*Nods quickly and traces the pattern with my finger*
<Snipped quote by Nimda>

There it is.
*Slows the ship down to sub-relativistic speeds and quickly below the speed of sound as we come into view of the storm, crawling through Outside space at roughly the speed of a hurricane*
It’s almost majestic. It’s arranged itself into a visible pattern.


*Grins widely*

*In the cockpit there are just a bunch of various gauges and displays for various stats on the ship, such as energy remaining and status of weapons and the device that keeps real space around us*


*Looks at a lot of the controls but doesn't touch anything*
<Snipped quote by Nimda>

*Pulls up the same radar on a smaller display in the arm of my chair*
Oh, right in front of us!
*Begins slowing the vessel down as we approach*


*Looks around for any displays*
<Snipped quote by Nimda>

I can see you when you’re back there, you know. Live feed. Did you see it?


*Nods*
<Snipped quote by Nimda>

*Some time passes, but the radar sure enough eventually displays a blip, straight ahead in the ship’s trajectory*


*Goes to get you*
<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Alright, let’s get started.
*The display ends up displaying a speed in the corner in unknown units*
This could take a while. Brinkspace is where the waters meet and mix, to give an accurate metaphor, but it still basically lines all of Existence.


*Holds up three fingers*
<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Now, you guys are going to have to start looking for storms from there. It acts basically like a radar, detecting disturbances in Brinkspace from really far off that match the levels of chaos associated with the storms.
*A large terminal starts displaying a radar-esque UI that currently gives no blips*
The storms quite rarely happen naturally, so we won’t see many, if any until we find the one we’re looking for. But we’re going to be moving very fast so make sure you don’t miss it.


*Nods quickly and gives you a thumbs up before staring at the terminal*
