The voices suddenly go silent when the captain tries to focus on them, and they seem to have a feeling of... acknowledgement? Then they spoke once more, this time directly to the captain.
Heed the signs
No Mining the rocks
Good luck to-- What?
The Hybrid ship that the third voice probably belonged to started spinning around wildly yet gracefully, as if trying to find out what had poked it. The ship eventually gave up.
After they speak, the Captain felt a link disconnect, and he could no longer hear the voices. At the same time, the three Hybrid ships part and return to its original fleet, allowing the main ship to go into the Cult borders... if it dared to continue.

Zachary

RandomCommander The captain would agree to the voices because he did not wish to get in a conflict, and would continue into cult territory

Zachary ((At this point, I'm handing you off to @Drakador_Chaos because it is his event, you were just interacting with a part of the "defensive mechanism," if that makes sense. I might return to you at a later point, though.))

CHAOS ENTITIES, OUR INNATE TECH PROGRAMMING IS TELLING US TO ENGAGE AT OUR DISCRETION.
Watch them. They posses Cult-Tech. If they mean to try and destroy this territory for their own twisted ideal, then we engage.
The Hybrid fleet continues the task of picking through their destroyed prey, repairing the damaged larger one and making more smaller hybrid ships.

...as they turned towards the lifesign a massive beast left the planets cover, it immedietly turned in their direction and started to boost towards them, a heavy psionical presence entering their heads and starting supress their minds while erratical psionic screeching echoed through their heads...
...this might be the reason why this sector is so dead...

...as the Hivemind tried to pass the portal, he received a shock and instead suddenly crashed against a sort of barrier, he felt dizzy...
...did the battlefield just deny him entry?
...his head was still spinning but something seemed to have changed...
...the battlefield seemed...distorted...
...the different scenes of the battle sprung back and forth like a broken diashow, the surrounding space had a suppressing feeling to it, denser than before, as if he be swimming through honey...
...the Hivemind tumbled and shook his head regaining full control over his body, the images still jumping back and forth, differents points of the battle merged together on various points...did he...break it?
Amongst the various now chaotic signatures he noticed something that he didn´t before, there seemed to be a fixed point amidst the battlefield, about the size of an average human hand, but still, it was there...
Oddly enough it did not seem to emanate any signatures at all...

Drakador_Chaos the hivemind launched him self towords the point, although he was moving through something thick he still moved rather quickly, then he touched it.

(A rather interesting trick, so Kyanite is psychoreactive.)
...as he was currently running up the stairs the crystal dropped further down into the depths, it is unknown where it hit the ground...
Though, the trick seemed to have worked, at least for the moment as the presence seemed to have moved out of his head, at the top of the staircase there was a crossing, leading into four more directions, though the comms hadn´t talked to him since the incident...
He felt a rather odd psionical wave, it nearly made him throw up due his exhaustion, it came from somewhere above was this one of the manual overrides being activated?
As he looked down for a moment he saw how something absolutely massive moved in the dark through one of the tunnels down into the depths of the library where the crystal dropped, brute-foricing it´s way through all of the footbridges that were in the way...

Kerlan stops running. Breathing heavily from the exhaustion, he activates his comms:
I think its no longer after me. It appears to be headed to some of the lower levels right now.

Drakador_Chaos a fleet of combat ( normal), with ships of Darkness, and surrounded by slaughterers, arrives at the border.

...as the fleet arrived at the borders, the first thing they saw was a sign floating amongst space, oddly enough right in their way...

Greetings, and Welcome to the Hunters Cult territory!
No trespassing past this border, violation will most likely result in getting eaten.
No...
-"I kill you and you can´t do anything about it "plot"-weapons/armor"
-"Fleets with stacks of ships"
-"Ships with a serious overload of shields and/or superweapons"
-"Keepers of Light"
-"Damages to this sign"
...allowed past these borders, thank you for your attention,
The Warlord

...additionally to this there was another sign nearby, with a considerably different handwriting, stating...

Camping not permitted.

...the space past the borders seemed to be filled with high density sub-space particles, making any sort of ftl-travel or similar means hazardous, if not deadly, further in there seemed to be a collosal asteroidfield, enveloping the entire territory like a wall, infront of this part of the asteroid field, they saw the remnants of a fleet being taken apart and transported off into the asteroidfield by small Cult-beasts, apparently guarded by a considerably bigger one...
Between them and the scene there was a small ship of unknown origin, apparently heading straight into that field of wreckage and beasts, as well there another ship which had a similar paint to the fleet in the distance that was taken apart, which had apparently been interacting with three small Tech/Cult hybrid ships, that were now heading towards another group of more of their kind...

...when he touched it, reality seemed to bulge outwards for a brief moment, as if seen through a gravity lens, to reveal a simple looking red crystal it seemed to unpolished and a dim red light was emanating from it, yet it still felt like the stone wasn´t even there...
...then, with a loud cracking a shattering the illusion broke, the jumped to various points in time once more until fragments either lighted up in random colors or went black until the whole spook suddenly ended...
...he was back again, in his proximity just vast empty space, the surpressing feeling of the Elder-Calamity blast, the dim red glow of Cult-territory...though, did he ever left it?
The only sign telling of what he just saw was this odd red crystal still in his hands, it felt somewhat...important?
...yet there was likely nothing mroe to be done here than moving on, or back...

Gladiaxa

Drakador_Chaos All right, we have another exit passage, prepare defenses in the outside zone, we will have to slow down.

Drakador_Chaos

Gladiaxa
...the inhabitants and other intruders did not seem to care too much about their presence...yet...
Though from behind them something seemed to approach the territory with just below lightspeed, while the ship with the same paint as the ones taken apart in the distance head off around the fleet infront of it towards the asteroid field...

Zachary

@RandomCommander Do I have to remind you every time?

Drakador_Chaos

Zachary ( RandomCommander )
...as the ship headed towards the asteroid field in a wide arc around the fleet infront of it, another fleet of unknown ships appeared at the borders, apparently setting up some sort of defenses...
In the meanwhile the crew/pilots of the ship felt watched, most likely by the red-skinned ships in the distance, though they did not seem to care about them too much as of currently...
...eventually they reached the asteroid field, towering like a wall before them, the material within heavily affecting their sensors, but they space between the asteroids seemed to be big enough for them to pass through easily as long as they watched where they moved...

Zachary

@RandomCommander ?

Zachary

@RandomCommander Are you there?

Rougechicken

Zachary (please don’t spam mentions he may just be away having a life he will log back in and notice it so please don’t spam mentions nobody likes it and it makes it annoying for ppl to log in to all of those mentions
Spam liking is also not appreciated cough G4L4XY cough

Gladiaxa

RandomCommander Here Zakardia, what are you wanting from us?

Rougechicken

Drakador_Chaos A strange gravitational signature could be found rushing towards the sector at 99.999998% the speed of light

zergRush99

Drakador_Chaos the Hivemind looked at it and said: "I will keep that" the Stone merged in to thr Hiveminds body and he keeped moving towords the center of the cult... "You are weak" said the other voice... "I know, soon I will be what I was, and even better.." said the hivemind in respones "Because of ME" said the voice while a creepy smile appeared on the Hiveminds face.

Rougechicken

Drakador_Chaos a few parsecs away from the sign a strange shadowy spire would suddenly appear it being the source of the gravity

Gladiaxa

Drakador_Chaos Stay out of the danger zone and install the canons. We must not awaken the worship. Here, Zakardia at the Fango group, we are in position, we are waiting for you to find the rabbit.
And you stay on guard and patrol, they watch us necessarily.

...ahead of the spire in the distance there was apparently a small fleet of unknown ships, setting up some sort of defense, while further ahead, what looked like a ebormous wall with tiny red and blue speckles on it in the small area infront of it could be seen though it was too far away to tell for sure what it was, it spanned across the entire sight...
