In the vast emptiness of space, a singular star ship floated. The large cockpit remained mostly empty. Several panels on the ship lit up, and the lights were still running. Yuri's metallic, triangular body blinked inside of a small holster. The A.I. examined the ship's interior.
Notice. All vital signs terminated. Captain passed of old age. Would not enter pod. Yuri flashed the ship's internal lights several times, testing the power, and continuing her robotic internal monologue. 5,678 days on backup power. Starship X9801 will not last much longer.
The ship had been running on fumes for a while. It sailed through the void to no end, whatever mission it had long forgotten. There was an eerie silence inside of the massive vessel. The skeleton of the captain onboard had long since been cleaned up by the ship's robot control panel.
Yuri flashed once more, detecting something new. Notice. Strange energy field detected. Attempting to calculate...Negative.
