[from the Empress of Moths, amidst system malfunctions and strange portals]

[morbirdinterest]

I have been investigating the new portals using some skills from a previous Jaunt. Two things have revealed themselves to me, which may be of interest.

First, my Control Panel returns a reading of "extra-system access loci" when I use it near a portal. This suggests to me that some entity other than the Trumps is creating, and likely using, these portals.

Second, and quite coincidentally, while activating my Control Panel in a secluded part of the Empress, I discovered that there are dead bodies in the reactor. Eight of them.

Oh. Hm. Maybe they have a spaceship version of that. [it's kind of a joke, but he always wouldn't be that surprised.]

Ok. I'll see what I can do.

Well, I mean, if the ships are smart enough to talk to people, they could...

Though most of the ships around here probably aren't haunted. I hope.

[darkhourdear]

I'm pretty sure I would have noticed if it was actually haunted. [spirit communication for the win!]

[mysunnydisposition]

...it's full of dead people who are talking to you. Is that somehow not haunted?

[darkhourdear]

I'm talking to the ship, which is connected to the dead people. That's different. [he thinks.]

[mysunnydisposition]

If you say so...
