It was time to check out the superstructure just the size of it alone made you question a lot of things. What could have built it? Why would they have built it here? And so on. The closer you got the more questions seemed to just pop up in your mind.
By the time you got close enough to it, you were on the dark side of the moon and could not see much of anything. You ordered the ship to turn on the floodlights to see what you could view. As the lights flickered on your jaw dropped and you were struck with horror.
There was no mistake about it. The colors you had noticed on the superstructure were pained you felt could not have been possible. There was no question in your mind now. This belonged to Corporation C-199X. No wonder they did not want you out here exploring this part of space. Who knows how long they have been out here or what they have discovered?
You were half expecting some kind of automated weapon system to come on and take out your ship. That however never happened. You also started to notice just how dead the place was starting to look.
You ordered the ship to fly around the structure to see if there was any life detected inside. As the ship slowly moved around it you started to realize the entire thing was no longer intact. There appeared to be giant blast holes in certain parts of the structure itself.
This is also when you started to realize that the debris you somewhat noticed before was not naturally occurring. There must have been some kind of space battle here. However, whatever attacked Corporation C-199X must have did not seem to suffer any major casualties. The massacre was perhaps on the other side of the fight.
You imminently order the ship’s computer to check long-range scans for any signs of movement. You have no clue how long ago or not this battle took place. Let alone if any scouts were left behind to look for any survivors or rescue attempts.
The computer reported back it did not pick up anything unusual on the long-range sensors. That however means little to you. For all, you know alien spacecraft would be undetectable to your sensors.
After some further investigation of the structure itself, it seemed like it would be safe enough to explore it. While certain sections might no longer hold pressure and are venting into space. It seems those parts have been sealed off from the rest of the structure.
You felt however out of safety this one might be worth wearing the spacesuit for. While it would be a bit bulky to do a lot of exploring in it. That would be better than not having it at all in case this place is further decaying apart.
The good news at least you would not need to use the limited amount of oxygen you have remaining in the air tanks. That was unless you came across a section you needed to go through that lacked life support.
Ready to go on an adventure you could suit up, grab your backpack and head into the superstructure. You could also decide this was just not worth the risk and try exploring any other locations you have not been to yet 2-560, M-HHJ-456, U-877, I-IIK-9844 or K-TYY-3333.
