A large anti-matter explosion illuminated the sector, from just one hit of the mega-powerful (and probably more OP than a death star laser) Lucifer cannon. The Blood Cult super ship, unsurprisingly, was not affected by the explosion, as it was too far away.
Surprisingly, however, something had survived the destruction of the Subcore. It seemed to be a black chunk of debris. Inside it, there was a signal. It wasn't biological, but it was definitely telepathic...
Whatever counts for a Blood Cult Pilot or Captain of the Lucifer living ship suddenly detected more Rift-Space signatures forming around them, and so they braced for a fight. At the last moment, however, they dissipated without a single ship coming through. Terror seemed to be prominent in the waning artificial signatures before everything just... powered down and died.
The Psionic link remains, beckoning.
