"Still unable to contact the strike team sir, though it appears two of them survived by thermal scans." The bridge crew was waiting in silence since the lady in red had wiped out what appeared to be their whole team. They were unable to get a visual on what had happened, so they were down to thermal sweeps and those had indicated two people had survived, which implied they had killed the woman who had gotten their team.
"Comms?"
"Down still, whatever that bitch hit us with has messed up everything. I swear she didn't even show up on thermal." The interloper had caused a panic on board. Captain Griggs barely got anyone focussed on the mission after she had seemingly appeared from nowhere and hit their ship with some kind of sensor damaging burst. They figured it was a virus of some kind, but engineering had reported their sensors were apparently literally fried.
"Autopilot work?"
"Yes sir."
"Bring them up, I don't know why they haven't gotten it going, but they may be hurt, so get medical down there."
"Yes sir." Griggs sat back in his char, he wanted to know what in the gods name was going on.

"We're moving great job Peter!" They had been in the cockpit for a bit trying to figure out how to get the shuttle moving, so far they'd not been able to glean anything and all of a sudden the ship was moving.
"I didn't touch anything."
"Crap that must mean they are autopiloting us, which hopefully means they are going to bring us on board."
"Hopefully?"
"Well they might know we are followers of the Fire God and they are planning on piloting us into the sun."
"Adri in the future remind me what a cynic you are about things."
"If we have a future."
"Adri!"
