025-2508 Gateway News Service- Dusk
Naval vessels intercepted the free trader Gulliver's Wish as it was refusing to respond to hails and moving on an erratic path in one of the belts. The destroyer Lyons was finally able to overtake the ship, but due to its erratic path, was forced to send a ships boat over and marines conducted an EVA assault on the ship. The Airlock was forced open and as the marines entered, they were attacked by members of the crew. Using stunners, and less lethal weapons, the marines were finally able to subdue the crew of 12 and then naval personnel were able to get the ship under control.
The Gulliver's Wish had jumped in to the system three days ago, and was apparently looking for ancient tech, when it came to the attention of the Quarantine ships. The crew was forced to be sedated, as each one was exceptionally violent, screaming, and completely uncooperative towards the crew of the Lyons. They kept screaming things like: "It is here, it is watching us". "It hurt me, and was in my head". Nothing the crew said made any sense due to the fact that they were the only ones onboard the vessel. The reason the ship was traveling the erratic path, was due to the bridge crew trying to escape from "It".
As the crew was taken to Quarantine station #3 which was the closest to where the vessel was intercepted. A prize crew brought in the ship with no incident, and no "space ghosts" at all. The crew was kept sedated enough to be able to speak with medical personnel, and all had the same story. They came to the system to see if any ancient artifacts could be found, and they had a buyer with the Black Sun group on Shiva. They came across an asteroid that had odd readings, when suddenly "things from out of space and time" came out of the blackness of space, and the terror began.
They claimed that they saw "creatures which were there and not there at the same time", and they felt "things" crawling inside of their brains, and along their spines. They also said that they felt terror the likes of which they have never felt before, and saw indescribable horrors and they knew there was no where to run.
Medical staff has adjudged the crew to be hopelessly insane at this point and will be returning them sedated and secured to Gateway for further treatment and punishment for entering the Dusk system. Medical staff said that they had "eerie feelings" while speaking with the crew as
if someone was watching them. Two of the staff said that they thought they heard someone or something breathing, but nothing was there. Those staff members have also requested an immediate return to Gateway or anywhere else but Dusk. The Gulliver's Wish will be returned to Gateway as well for condemnation and sale. The crew of the Lyons will share in the sale price under prize court rules.
