LE6-92 was a massive spy ship sent to observe the Karni of planet J-928, as this galaxy’s division of the Interstellar Communication Corps for Safety and Peace suspected they were in the business of distributing adrenaline, and other illegal and potentially deadly drugs.

The ship was in a newly developed full camouflage mode, so that no other ships would be able to detect them at all, even from a millimeter of distance. Which was likely how the Nom-Threck Li (lovingly named after the captain’s favorite hoard item, a natural geode they’d found on their home world) ended up blasting through three escape pods on one end of the ship, emergency stalling upon reaching the opposite side.

Thankfully, there were no casualties, seeing as LE6-92 was made of softer materials to allow for the invisibility, and though the Nom-Threck Li was a small cargo vessel, it had many defenses, and once the two ships begun communications, it was clear that the crew were veterans, hardened by pirate attacks.

“I am Jello, the head communications officer of the LE6-92,” she spoke, nose twitching with concern over the whole situation. Her hackles rose as she heard faint barks, murmurs, and even a sound like boiling water from the other side; were the crew of the other ship angry? “My ship first needs confirmation that any and all persons on both vessels are unharmed, and afterwards, we will reimburse for any damage done to your ship before we can head to the nearest planet’s ICCSP building to give our statements.”

The other side spoke. “I am Ku-Mwat, captain of the Nom-Threck Li. Thankfully, none of our passengers have died, though three persons of our crew have been visibly injured.” Jello’s ears shot up. That was bad- oftentimes, easily visible injuries could inhibit most lifeforms from doing any kinds of work- “Ah, but they say that these are ‘bruises’, a form of minor injuries their species experiences, and should heal within a short time.” Ku-Mwat’s voice grows slightly more distant, no longer speaking to Jello. “Please forgive me, I’m still not familiar with human’s injury levels-”

Jello’s pupils shrink with this revelation. Humans?! She would have to tread lighter than the wind as to it offend a captain favored by Deathworlders.

Humans are Space Orcs but it’s…

INTERACTIVE!

The theme is: your ship’s crew has “bumped into” another ship, very very fast. It could be that they just didn’t detect the other ship (because of it’s stealth, or size), they’ve mistakenly attacked the other ship, or just plain space traffic (that hyperwarp on O,0,0 is really congested sometimes.)

You might encounter pirates, mercenaries, space cops, or the USS Kalayaan if you’re lucky (or unlucky, depending on how you see humans!)
