Tears in the time/space fabric can be quite useful, dispatching expedition team to Lyat system

non of my fleets

[Phalanx]

non of my fleets
is a lightyear near
strigiform space

check your data

A single lightyear? Standard, universal FTL drives can travel through 1 meager lightyear in scarcely 2 days. I expect you have fleets waiting 1.00000001 lightyears away.

i have them further away

but i said to them to do their things
but stay minimal a lightyear away

i dont have total controll i cant say go there
i can ask and i can forbid certain things like dont go within a lightyear of strigiform

[Professor Fenway]

You are close enough to the Strigiforme that any military action toward you there would be treated as hostilities by the Strigiforme and incur diplomatic penalties.

Prototype, I advise not to go to the Lyat system. It's quarantined for a reason. There's something there... something terrible.

Is it a giant statue of me?

[Professor Fenway]

It's more horrifying, dangerous, twisted, destructive than the statue could ever be.

Also, things tend to be... lost... when they go to the system. They probably fall through the fabric into another dimension, or maybe into nonbeing.

You sure? Have you SEEN me? Actually no. You haven't. AND YOU NEVER WILL! [INSERT EVIL LAUGH HERE]. Why don't you just spill the metaphorical (or literal) beans?

[Professor Fenway]

*Knocks over a can of beans*

There.


In all seriousness, we don't really know what exactly is there. For humans and other creatures with enhanced psionic abilities, they say there is something immensely powerful and dangerous and evil there. That needs to be destroyed after a countdown ends, and not before.

We don't know what this countdown is, or when it ends, but they saw we will know when it does. We have psionics stationed near the system to sense this.

(DO NOT TAKE THIS ANY FURTHER- I AM ALREADY GOING TO TIE IT INTO THE PLOT)
