The bridge of the Zephyr was a quiet hive of activity. At their respective stations, the senior officers worked with practiced efficiency, their consoles chirping softly as they relayed the first trickles of data from the passive scans of the mysterious vessel.
== GM Input for Science (Lt. Ra'an) & Medical (Dr. O'Fee) ==
The science console lights up with critical data.
Bio-scans: Faint life signs detected. Reading... twelve distinct signatures. Metabolic rates are dangerously low and fluctuating.
Cryo-agents: Trace amounts of argon and dimethyl sulfoxide are present in the faint vapor trail. The signatures are consistent with cryogenic preservation.
Hull: Basic titanium-aluminum alloy.
Power: Primary fission reactor detected; offline and cold. Minimal power readings are from primitive chemical batteries.
Propulsion: A multi-stage solid-fuel chemical engine. No warp or impulse capabilities detected.
Trajectory: Back-trace of the vessel's trajectory points to an origin system: Icarus III, nine light-years distant.
Origin: Icarus III is confirmed as a Class-M, pre-warp civilization (Classification: Level 4, industrial age with early spaceflight).
== GM Input for Tactical (Lt. Powl) & Security (Lt. Gath) ==
The tactical and security sensors complete their analysis.
Threat Assessment: Negative. Zero weapons signatures detected. Zero shield emissions detected. The vessel is classified as non-hostile.
Damage Analysis: Hull plating is buckled outward from the aft section. All debris in the vapor trail is consistent with the vessel's own hull composition.
Conclusion: Damage is from a catastrophic internal explosion in the propulsion section. Not from an external attack.
The data collectively paints a stark, terrible picture that now hangs in the air of the bridge. This was not a derelict from a battle. It was a tomb, launched from a world that had just learned to look at the stars, carrying twelve pioneers who were now dying, alone, in the dark.
