Southeastern Expanse
Salvage Hauler "Kuzu"
The Sarcanus Corvette was en route to be sold to a lesser house in this expanse. Patriel had used his authority to enlist it to ferry his brother to where the derelict Salvager was drifting. Though it wasn't intending on sticking around for long, just long enough for Mica to see if he could repair the derelict enough for it to make voyage to the nearest port.
Mica, his friend Sarganus, and their associate Renki who is a hacker. They gunned it from the corvette aboard a custom made long duration pod. Pulling alongside the cargo hold. It only took a few moments to open it as Mica still knew the code. Inside there was nothing particularly of interest or that would cause alarm.
"Atmospherics still work," Renki remarked as she checked her data arm pad.
"It damn well better be..." Mica muttered before taking off his helmet. He had sent the Captain money and a note to get that ancient system fixed. They all went about removing their space suits.
Renki wasted no time patching into the ship's computer system. But was frustrated by how much of a mess it was. The Salvager's own computer expert had set up the ship's computers and code. Both to ensure she could hack any salvage they found and to protect it from anyone trying to gain access to it.
"We're not gonna be able to access any records from here. But the atmospherics read no contaminates. My own equipment shows nothing biological in this room." Renki said with a disappointed look.
The trio quickly made their way down the hallways. Mica stopped Renki, pointing her in the direction of the data archives, she simply nodded and went. Sarganus and Mica both went to where the survival pods were. There they found three pods.
Mica went over to the nearest one while Sarganus went over to a console. There was a lot of frost on the nearest pod. He wondered why. Wiping away some of the frost, Mica tried to make out what was inside.
"Mica, we've got one life sign, next pod over." Sarganus called out. Mica gave him a signal to open her up. An assault rifle in his arms, that he calmly pointed at the pod. A few moments passed as Sarganus worked the console, then the pod's hatch slowly opened. Inside, a young woman, with purple hair and a few facial piercings.
"Niel?" Mica said letting go of the forward grip on his weapon, letting it hang in one hand. "Niel?"
Suddenly she sat up and screamed, frantically clawing at the air, her eyes unable to see due to the suspended animation she had just woken from. Mica quickly threw an arm around her, both to comfort her, but also to restrain her a bit.
"Hey hey, it's Mica," He said in the kindest voice he could muster.
Her screaming ceased as she looked in the direction of his voice. Her eyes barely recovering from the hibernation to make out the vague features of Mica Sarcanus.
Though there was nothing physically wrong with her, she had clearly gone through something traumatic, she quickly fell into a sleep after she'd calmed.
"I'll take her to the medward. Figure out what's wrong with the other pod and where the rest of the crew went," Mica told Sarganus as he floated off with Niel in his arms.
