As the title suggests, there is a distress signal!
Also note that I demand you avoid using OP ships as much as humanly possible.
Liek, srsly, staahp

... anyone gonna answer the distress signal?
seriously
jbox1
...a while after the distress signal was set off, a Whispering Dragon from the Hunters approaches from the distance, apparently scouting if the owners of distress signal could serve as food...
Canoneer you escape with only minor damage
Drakador_Chaos It’s an ambush! It was a pirate who sent the distress signal!
But upon sight of the giant bloodcult ship, and having a will to live, the pirate hightailed it.
jbox1
...the scout seems about as disappointed as a spacefaring lifeform which eats humanoids could be and leaves the area...
("giant"? They´re about 1.5 times a lightning...no freshmeat for the cult today I guess.)
Drakador_Chaos bigger than the pirate, which is actually a hook

A sensor probe appears in the area
jbox1
A STE Test floatilla consisting of a lifeline class, a deadlock class and a Debt class pick up the signal,
Rather annoyed at having to stop their testing of the new Debt class escort cruiser.
The captain decides to investigate.
Rather than warp in system himself due to high FTL fuel costs (+it would be OP), and the experimental nature of the escort, he orders a Brit class FTL scout/light fighter to warp in system.
The ship arrives at the signal
jbox1 UTP sends a single drone to investigate.
Alfraks The Raptor recieves a transmission from the drone.
//Transmission start//
Hello mates, Ph4nt0m here. Got anything weird on your sensors? Our drone can't spot the exact source of the signal.
//Transmission end//
CursedPh4nt0m Alfraks CursedPh4nt0m CursedPh4nt0m Jenwuf Undated_Abyss Canoneer There was no-one there!
Judging by an FTL wake, the transmitters were very much safe, but have run away for no apparent reason.
jbox1 Due to the drones lack of scanners, it goes into standby mode and waites for the others to act.
(You just wanted us all having sent our ships for no reason, didn't you?)
CursedPh4nt0m judging by the presence of a bloodcult FTL wake, they had a very good reason to flee!
CursedPh4nt0m (You just wanted us all having sent our ships for no reason, didn't you?)
No, you’re just late to the party
jbox1 There was a party?! Damn, seems like I really am late...
Seriously, despite one ship getting attacked by pirates, the bloodcult chasing them away and several other factions sending ships to investigate, nothing happend at all. I really hope you won't end this story just now.
