His sixty troopers and himself had deployed into the wreck, and had just started making headway into determining what it was when they found pods inside it. At that point, the 'derelict' had opened fire, blasting his transports and the three ships that had been nearby, before it had started moving. He had been trapped with scattered troopers in a beyonder tainted ship, moving in a random direction which would make finding it nearly impossible. Then the interior pods had burst, releasing the various biohorrors inside them.<br/><br/>Two years later, he had finally been rescued after sabotaging the engines, and then hacking his way to a comm room to signal his location to his the fleet. None of the sixty troopers had survived, and that had been his last infantry action for several centuries, as it had been closer than he had liked to getting warped into beyonder space and getting to meet his opponents face to horror.<br/><br/>He finished the story, and then made a suggestion. "Drifting ghost ship in the ocean. Closer to the truth that way, and you can tell it that the ship is only haunted at night, and fully repairs and restores itself and the crew at both dawn and dusk. Hero has to survive on an 'unstoppable,' uncaring terror ship that is actively trying to kill him, but he has enough time during the day to sleep and gather supplies. Story worthy of an epic hero."
