The crews neatly managed to fly in on silent running, closing to within 35 VU of the pirate base before Arkhah lit it up on sensors.  A remarkable accomplishment, considering that the entire base was shut down, as if on silent running.  Two pirate raiders were docked directly to the base, just sitting in space like they had been mothballed for weeks, but that was ridiculous, wasn't it?  Did they really fear "pirate killer" Barmoir that much?<br/><br/>A minute later, an anomaly appeared on the scanners of all four ships.  It seemed like a sensor glitch, as impossible as the readings were, but they dominated the displays.  Some 40 VU away, there was a Lunar Class Cruiser with its warp drive engaged, yet somehow, it was stuck in realspace.  The energy profile was insane, and likely accounted for the green glow filling the nebula.  The ship's registry identified immediately as<em>Gospel of Condemnation</em>, prompting the crew of the<em>Katana</em>to start sifting through their data vaults.<br/><br/>"Cortez fleet, this is<em>Katana.</em>Our data vaults list Lunar Class Cruiser Gospel of Condemnation as lost in the warp from the Gothic fleet during the 11th black crusade.  Consider hostile.  Repeat, consider hostile.  We're going to make an attack run to determine their offensive capabilities.  Requesting logistical support."  Commissar Antony reported from the Katana, as the ship continued on silent running while the crew made ready to engage in full combat operations.  "Try lighting up the systems on your cruiser and seeing if the pirates wake up."  The Commissar suggested, while<em>Katana</em>adjusted course towards the newly encountered cruiser.
