I woke up, still half asleep as I was sitting upright in my chair. The lights in my orbiter were turned off and all I could see outside through the glass was pitch black nothingness.
My eyes had a hard time focusing on anything around me, everything seemed blurry and distorted, even more than usual. But it wasn't just the eyes that caused this distortion.
The connection to my Warframe seemed more intuitive then Normal. It seemed even more Normal than beeing in my own Body right now.
After blinking a few times I was able to look out the window of my Operator Shell. A black void of nothingness stared back at me, but there was something else.
Outside, only slightly lit by the emergency lights, floated a giant mass of debris that came from my ship. All kinds of things that were once connected to the ship had now been scattered apart, parts of my Orbiter where missing as well.
"Operator, your Awake, that's the best news I got in a while" Ordis voice suddenly spoke in my head. His voice was unusually quiet and didn't sound as hyperactive as it normally would.
I couldn't answer him directly because of my incredible headache but after some time of concentration I formed one Word.
"Status?" I asked into the emptiness of my tiny coffin that enclosed me while I sat on my Chair.
I didn't get an immediate response, instead he waited a little bit until he answered.
It was like he had to think about his answer, something unusual for Ordis.
I began to feel uncomfortable by this. Something really bad must have happened if even Ordis wasn't in good condition.
He finally started speaking again.
"The orbiter has suffered severe damage, many systems are not responding or are malfunctioning. I can't pinpoint where we are right now, not even any stars to calculate our position the old fashion way." He said and sounded incredibly disappointed in himself.
Ordis always wanted to be the most helpful Cephalon you could ever have on board your ship. So something like this must have really hurt him inside.
I tried to sit up and look around to inspect my surroundings more closely, but as soon as I made a move to lift myself up from my seat I felt a stinging pain running down my whole body.
It wasn't so bad that I wouldn't be able to stand up, but it still was not comfortable at all.
But the worst still came. My shell, It didn't budge, not even a tiny bit to let me out into the open. I started to hyperventilate and thanks to the adrenaline I could finally form a real sentence.
"Ordis, why does my Transference Chairs Operator Shell not open?" I asked Angrily and with a good amount of panic.
Ordis seemed to take his time again to find the right words to say.
A shiver ran through my Body, thinking about what could have possibly happened to me.
"There is no easy way to say this Operator... I had to seal your shell shut while we were in transit, otherwise you would have been blown away with the rest of the Orbiter." Ordis explained himself calmly, but his voice was still too quiet for my taste.
"Right now there would be no use in going out anyway Operator, as the oxygen needed for your FEEBLE BODY to function has escaped into the Void of space"
he continued and his volume grew back up slowly.
I looked around and noticed that indeed the small glass dome above me that let air flow inside was missing.
That also explains why breathing feels so much harder right now.
"And the damage? What else is wrong?" I asked concerned.
"All power from the reactor has stopped, The battery's will last for months, but only for life support purposes" Ordis answered without any hesitation.
This gave me some relief, at least I could live a little longer.
I then remembered that a Warframe and a Pack of Kubrows were all in the Liset, my landing Craft, as all of this Spacial Interferenz stuff began and started thinking.
„Ordis, can you pinpoint the Liset, I remember it bering disconected from us as all of this started, maybe it is still functioning and able to rescue us"
I asked hopefully.
"Negative Operator, the connection between us has been completely severed after everything went dark. But before that, there was a sudden spike of Energy that was emitted around the landing craft" he said after a few seconds.
He seemed like he hesitated to continue but eventually did. „I think it's best if I show you what happened here, before we lost contact with the Landing Craft."
Before I could say anything about that suggestion, a holographic screen appeared directly in front of me and started playing back footage.
It was recorded by one of the cameras around the orbiter, Ordis must have turned them on manually because normally they are not activated when I'm asleep or offline.
The footage showed how the Ship was traveling through Space. Rhino and a bunch of Kubrows got transported, Sleeping in their Hybernation-pods, into the Liset and she started from her docking port. Suddenly A big bright ball appeared right in front of us that got bigger and brighter by the second. I saw how the Ball suddenly split up into lots of smaller fragments which flew past our Orbiter at an incredible speed.
Then something hit us from behind that send the camera flying into another direction and then... blackness.
Now I had a theory about what happened here. We were sucked into the Void by a Tear in space which spitt us out somewhere else.
I had seen something similar happening to the Zariman but this time at a much Smaler scale and Spontaneous. Not provoked like the last time.
Ordis probably noticed it as well and confirmed my theory.
"I'm afraid that we are stranded in some unknown part of space, I do not know where we are nor am I able to send a signal anywhere." He explained further.
After realizing all of this and the adrenaline slowly getting out of my system, I began to feel really tired again. My head was hurting even more then before and everything just felt numb.
"Operator you seem exhausted, maybe you should go back to sleep for now, I'll wake you once something happens." Ordis suggested after noticing my change of behavior.
And he was right, there was nothing I could do right now to help myself or anybody else and the Imense suction force that pulled me towards my Warframe won and I fell into it, to powerless to do anything about it.
