ANOMALY DISCOVERED

The Firing Voidborn ships cease fire and move away from the Farragut, in order to give the dreadnought a clear shot with its BHCs.
The following transmission is sent:
Stay clear, or you will become collateral damage!

The TSC ships move away from the firing line, however one of the smaller escort ships begins to approach the Faragaut (currently very far off), scanning the ship reveals a wide array of missile based weaponry, these missiles are mounted on roof racks, similar to that of old style missile artillery, the ship positions itself just outside the firing line...
(ill post the updated ship images at some point, on my tablet atm)

RandomCommander

Undated_Abyss The Battleship Subcore refuses to move, it instead powers up engines to a high degree - compensating for the gravitational pull that the Black Hole will generate, though not as similar to what was seen on Argus-Maelstrom's ships. It seems far enough away from the point of contact to survive the resulting black hole, yet the Faragut still inches closer towards it...

So be it.
The Dreadnought fires a full broadside of its BHCs into the halves of the Farragut, shredding it with the resultant antimatter blackholes. After a few seconds, there is simply nothing left as the blackholes dissipate.

(shouldn't we be waiting for @Sombreroman to post first before just blowing it up?)
(that, or we just say the troops boarding the faragaut evacuated, its just unfortunate that due to time zones this thread barely progresses per day.)

(Considering the time jump of the events in the plot, there is probably time for those on board to act, I just wanted some progression to occur)

... a small interference in the electronic systems and distortions in the radio waves, are received by all in the place, shortly after, it begins to increase the radiation in a point near the star ...

A single Dreadnought class moves closer to investigate the anomaly.

Jesus3747

Jenwuf ... just as the Dreadnought approached, a small ship appeared ...

A transmission is sent to the ship.

//Transmission Start//
This is a TSC ship, you have currently warped into a warzone, state your intentions or prepare to be boarded

A small cargo container is launched from the Dreadnought, and manoeuvres itself towards the Small damaged ship, it hits the side with a clunk, and breaches a hole into the ship.

From within, two elite shock-lancers, equipped with anti-projectile Shield belts and long electrified shock lances emerge from the pod.

Edit: The aforementioned shields will only stop a few bullets, should you decide to shoot at them, however, even though the TSC are the antagonists of this battle, they wish not to hurt anyone, and will likely assist you in any way possible unless it goes against their ideals.

Jenwuf

One of the two shock troops calls out to anyone on board.
"Hey! Anyone in this thing? We don't want to hurt you. We have repair equipment on our ship if you need it."

The other comments on the situation after a moment of silence.
"probably just another dead ship with its transmitter on loop, lets just get out of here."

Jesus3747

Jenwuf ... "Thank God, (coughs) someone heard our distress signal" Chris said as he looked at Regina happily, but Regina just looked at him with concern "Lower the Voice, we do not know what their intentions are, nor do we we know if they are human "," But we have been lost for years, and we only have a few hours left of oxygen! " Chris said as he came out of hiding, slowly and with his hands up ... "We come ... in peace!"

Jenwuf

Jesus3747
The two shock lancers look to each other, before one speaks up.
"Years? Jeez. I thought training was bad."

The second lancer quietly whispers:
"you sure we can trust these people, they could be ISC spies."
The first just rolls their eyes in response.

Looking at the two, they are clearly humanoids, although hard to fully make out beneath their armour.

"so, what the hell happened in this thing?"

Jesus3747

Jenwuf "What happened here, something that nobody expects, neither us nor NASA" said Chris while looking at Regina "We were 3 at the beginning, Regina, her sister and I, we were part of the Odyssey project, which consisted of 3 ships , with a Jump Drive respectively, a FTL drive in experimental phase, everything was normal at the beginning but the Jump drive started to fail, until we were stranded in space, and a large part of the ship did not materialize and we lost Regina´s sister" Chris said as Regina dropped a tear.

Sombreroman

Jenwuf (Sorry for Taking long, My head got a little messed up. Honestly, It still is...)
The Faragaut shakes furiously from all the punishment it's receiving. The Troopers look about, Confused, as to what the Heck is happening.

Ted: "Dice! What In the holy name of Spode is going on?!"
Dice: "Scanning... Hmm... Well, Hate to be a bad GM, but This is what I call a D Negative 20. Because you got stuck in an automatic door for around half an hour, Everybody lost Faith in us and are currently Bombarding the ship with heavy weapons. There's only a couple... Hundred, Firing at us. And Wisdom Check 1- They think not even at least a Tiny bit of Corruption will hit the Dyson Sphere like this."
Spider: "Right! Enough Chatter- If we want to get out of this Hellhole of a ship alive, we need to get those other Keys!"

While the ship shakes Violently, Some pieces of it blowing off right in front of the Troopers, They March onward. On the Walls there are Several Spinal cords, almost "Decorating" them. Some Surviving Lights Flicker, Turning the Room Bright, then Dark again... As they continue onward, the Troopers and the Tau see something Ahead of them, they see something unexpected... A Survivor of the attack. It's unclear which species it is, Due to how far the Group is away from them.

Buck: "Hey! A Survivor! Wait... This Don't seem right. Can I shoot it?"
Six: "You sure That's not coming from your Homicidal Tendencies?"
Buck Flicks himself.
"Yep, I can confirm that. This Sanely and Legitimately doesn't feel right..."

Spider Scans the survivor's vitals. They are clear, according to him.

Spider: "Yeah, they're Good, but they're wounded inside their Sealing. The Damage could be fatal, but the Sphere's Running out of Surgery rooms... We're going to give 'em back to the Tau..."

Wait... How can Chey and Echo know this is the case? Spider might have a damaged scanner... Right? Spider also sends a Signal to everybody, in some sort of weird language...

/Broadcasting Transmission/
"Hdzn gndhfd a gjz..h K vd gdc z c Cdzc, jg gnkx kx z xsd.. l;;lfgj kgh gl gz,d cls gnlxd Gzjx."

Why Did he broadcast Gibberish...?

Sombreroman
The Two Tau, stand looking at the person down the corridor.
The two whisper between each other:
"and what the hell is a survivor doing here?"
"Their scanner must be acting up, that is definitely not normal."
"what the hell is it wearing"
"looks like an ISC space suit"
"well then... that means their either human or somehow fit those things."

Echo, suddenly sounding very loud, shouts down the corridor at the person.
"Hey! You down there! put your hands up."
Even with his best efforts, the squeak in his voice makes him less than intimidating

"it was worth a try, ill see what--"

Bang

Echo fires a round right at the person, despite having limited gun experience, almost hitting them, striking around half a metre away from him.
This would surely get their attention if they where normal.
"Jeez Echo, what the hell, don't shoot them, even if they are one of the ISC humans."

Chey then notices her officers radio blurting out gibberish:
"what, is that their language or something? Please don't say you are turning or something"

At this point in the frame of reference of onboard the ship, and surviving sensors probably trigger just about all of the surviving alarms as the dreadnought prepares to fire.
(Just to add a little extra pressure)
(Note the dreadnought already destroyed the ship from the frame of reference outside the ship, it's just outside RP progressed faster than that inside so there is time distortion)

(also at this point into the timeline)
The small dreadnought class ship that kept on getting closer to the faragaut runs a detailed close up scan of the ship, and detects the presence of a small signature, using the ship's database, they confirm the presence of both Echo and Cheyenne, however, for now, they remain silent, rather than attempt to stop the dreadnought from firing its black hole cannon.

On board the dreadnought class however...
"so, they are alive..."
"What about Kara?"
"MIA"
"and chip?"
"KIA, signature shows suicide grenade detonation"
"any other signatures?"
"a wolf, likely dead, can't pinpoint it's tag, they have put a protective suit around it, so I can't scan it as well as if it where alive, and it doesn't help that Cheyenne has it on her back, every time I scan it, I just detect her."
"any humans?"
"yes, quite a few, seem to have armour on, and are by our people, so might have them captive or something."
"what? Well this certainly complicates things, arm the breaching missiles. I want them ready for their escape..."
"but, they are-"
"no you idiot, disarm the regular ones, I want the ones ready to push them off course, and into our docking bay."
"oh ok."
"send a transmission to the admiral, I want as many ships here as possible in case the other humans shoot at us."
"on it."

The ship speeds away out of range of the BHC (as it did before), however clearly has it's missiles armed.

Sombreroman

Jenwuf Spider is shocked at the events that have happened. He takes a deep breath, then tells the truth.
Spider: "Honestly... Erm... Alright! Tell anyone and I'll make sure Tim gets another Head in his room, You Hear?"

The squad turns around to look at Spider. Six is quick to speak.
Six: "Sir, You Sure about this? How'll they live bearing this secret?"
Spider turns around and nods bravely, then turning back to nod at Chey and Echo.

Spider: "Truth is, They were already infested. We were hoping to use them against the Tau So that we could make a Deal between the Humans of the ISC and the Tau. It was hard on me to make the call... Seeing how many people, man or Tau, just like us, would die such a lifeless death. I had to live with many things already. That Vizeron guy, My best friend Alex dying right in front of me, or heck, even just seeing him in critical condition after those scum attacked."
Spider, a ruthless killing machine and all, sheds a single tear, one of Fear and disdain...

Spider: "Darn you two... We all know this galaxy; no, this universe, is not fair... It will never be. It never was. We're trying to balance it. We all feel regret when we kill somebody. Heck, Even if just a tiny bit. But, You know what I tell myself back? If the Universe ain't fair, Cheat it more. Show it who's boss, Dangit."

As Spider Removes the seldom tear touching his beard with one of his arm's wires, His scanner becomes alive, Playing a massive alarm. Living clumps of the Corruption begin to retreat to the core, Repairing it as if to... Prepare for something.

Dice: "SH-! LUCK CHECK'S LOWEST THING I'VE EVER SEEN! IT'S THE PLANTS!"

Tim: "BY SPODE! WE NEED TO PICK UP THE GODDAMN PACE!"

Wait... Who?! The PLANTS? The Troopers look like they're going to faint from horror at this sight... What do they mean? As the Faragaut shatters further, one cannot help but wonder why the damage is less of a concern...

Jenwuf

Jesus3747
"oh. Sorry for you loss..."
"wait..."
"no it couldn't be that NASA."
"well, we will get you off this thing ill, have to call for evac though, usually these boardings are a one way trip..."
The Tau speaks into it's radio before turning back to face the two.
"god, I never even introduced us, I'm Achi, and he is Hikaru"
"sorry we had to break a hole in your ship like that, we don't exactly have very good boarding technology, so we have to resort to just making a hole with explosives."

Hikaru: "Wait, you said this has a experimental FTL drive, like the ones on our ship? Why experiment, everyone standardized them millennia ago... and what is a NASA? Is that some kind of gun?"
Achi puts his head in his hands, and sighs.
