The Lost Fleet

FangTheCat

One of the Lux ships docks, not at a dock itself, but connecting itself to the ship..

"Lets see what we can do.."

The Lux ship's Weave-assisted computer attempts to start up the dreadnought remotely, trying to hack into anything it can, all the while protecting itself from any virus or potential malware..

(inside ship conversation between two Lux soldiers.)
"I've seen bigger.."
"No you haven't"
"Yea I have, your mother.."
"That's not even funny, I was born the same way you were.."
"Artificially, yea.. I get it.. let's get this over with."

Fort_Master_Gustav So Editors and TM kind of cancel each other out?

FangTheCat
The Gestalt AI that was commissioned to run the ships contains almost five hundred thousand minds and after several nanoseconds, it asks for validation codes while discreetly beginning pre-start operations on the main reactor systems.

LeftHandofGod TM by definition is the manipulation of the very basis of reality, it's just an interpretation of the quantum realm, really. Not strings in specific, though it's a good interpretation of TM.
Overseer are basically space metal jellies that can use TM, and fugg they are OP because they are self-replicating, and some other very nasty properties XD

RedAndCosmoteer Fort_Master_Gustav LeftHandofGod (apologies for the overping, I sensed a scientific discussion that was in dire need of a local nerd. Now then, if quantum foam is whatever quarks are made out of, then you physically cannot interact with it. Quarks are as small as we can possibly see, any smaller and you're poking a stick with a stick to find out what a stick is. This is called the uncertainty principle.)

RedAndCosmoteer

LeftHandofGod If Gustav is correct, yes, they could probably cancel each other out.

This does not include situations where either tm or reality editors fire first.

Wait, I thought Qfoam is just the fluctuation of space time on the quantum level?

Fort_Master_Gustav

LeftHandofGod yup yup, they probably are the same thing, though TM in of itself is much more developed than just manipulation of reality.

The Remnant ship's computer begins testing potential codes, while a secondary system attempts to bypass it completely..

RedAndCosmoteer

~~Fear me y’all I got infinity stones~~

LeftHandofGod

RedAndCosmoteer You haven't even sent a fleet yet. Put up or shut up, buddy.

RedAndCosmoteer

LeftHandofGod Yeah, shut up I will not, it’s a habit for me not to and I can’t exactly control them. As for the fleet, i will put out a larger reply when I get back to my computer, but for now...

Two standard cruiser squadrons containing five cruisers and a number of escorts each drop out of warp to investigate these rumors, see if a massive fleet really is there.

Muffling as LeftHandofGod smothers RedAndCosmoteer with religious amounts of duct tape

LeftHandofGod

RandomCommander RedAndCosmoteer Hell yeah, let's get religious all up in here. And I wasn't handing down a unequivocal declaration of shutting up, just saying that you needed to get something done. And you did. Therefore...........SHIT GETS REAL!

The fleet exits FTL and is confronted with a truth beyond their wildest dreams...or nightmares. However the armada is so vast that they'll need to try accessing the central fleet data net to locate anything specific.

...as the Lux started boarding one of the dreadnoughts, another group entered the area via hyperspace, several midsized imperial looking ships appeared heading into the field, however in a different sector than the already Remna ships, rather than boarding a ship they started...scanning the field? As if they´d search for something specific...
They however seemed to have no intentions of making contact with any of the present forces...

After several codes are rejected, the ship net suddenly unlocks, granting the Lux temporary and limited access to the ship systems

>> Main Directory..............................
Level 5 access..........authorized
FTL drive.....LOCKED
Weapons.....LOCKED
Sublight......OFFLINE
Defenses....ONLINE, 13% POWER
Life Support.....OFFLINE

The Lux ship immediately searches any ship computers, saving codes and other useful information..

"Right.. Now Maybe we can use this to our advantage.. somewhat."

Another small Lux fleet arrives, another ship attaches itself, and attempts to use its own power to recharge the dreadnought if possible..

Drakador_Chaos

LeftHandofGod
...several small fighters detach from one of the ships and head towards one of the Superdreadnoughts, should they be able to dock they will likely make their way to one of the command-bridges...

In the meanwhile another...ship? Calling the thing that just entered the area with a flash of light was likely an overstatement, it looked more like someone took an asteroid slapped a bunch of random ship systems onto it and then stirred a few times...it was somewhat grotesque...
As it entered some of the grey vessels went into intercept course, their weapons charged, several transmissions went back and forth between the ships until the grey ships suddenly returned to their former position and went into silent mode again...
After this the moving rock headed towards some of the smaller ships in the fleet and started scanning, though for what was uncertain...

LeftHandofGod

Sorry for the delay, but I was waiting for @RedAndCosmoteer to reply. Anyways, moving on!

FangTheCat
The Lux notice quickly that the main reactor is online, but they just don't have the authorization to really get the ship to do anything. They'll have to board it and override the system from the bridge.

Drakador_Chaos
The fighters pull up to a Trisagion-class ship, and start cycling airlock codes before the lock opens. Inside, the halls are dark, airless, and cold as the grave.

LeftHandofGod
...the boarding groups head to one of the bridges using old imperial blueprints and upon reaching it they likewise try to activate it by using old Imperial codes, likely received from from the Ascendant Dawn, in the meanwhile the rock moves back to the borders of the field, waiting there, whatever it was trying to achieve by scanning the ship had apparently been completed by it, for what it was waiting now was uncertain though...

A small crew boards, made up of several machines and Lux soldiers..

RedAndCosmoteer

LeftHandofGod Sorry LeftHand, I should be replying to everything in about six to seven hours.

yaynoexams

RedAndCosmoteer

Six hours? Check. I really hate exams, but I won't bitch about it here.

LeftHandofGod

The cruiser squadron started maneuvering to one of the massive, MASSIVE hundred kilometer long Trisagion classes, in search of grey goo, nanotech, and refined reality editing.

Yes, refined reality editing. They can do that, but it needs more refinement.

On the bridge of the I.S.V Shut Up, I Have Stick, Commodore "Exis" looked at the large Imperial warfleet - they could possibly do better if they were willing to put in the effort, but none of that matters now - the Imperium is gone, and they only potentially needed to worry about the other factions, right?

"So. The Imperium left an abandoned fleet here. Bets on what we'll find first?"

The last part was added in jokingly, but one certain tactical officer replied with,

"ReAlItY EdItOrS!"

The entire bridge crew chuckled as the 17^th Cruiser Squadron of the Illateri Sovereignty moved around the battlefleet at a snail's pace of 0.1 c.

The Operations Officer and Navigation Officer suddenly heard a loud beep,

"Sir! Sensors are picking up Remna ( @FangTheCat ) transponders in the area!"

The Commodore strided over and his eyes drifted towards the Remna Transponders. They continued scanning after...
