It was not every day Karan S'jet got to rest.

Those precious few times came during "mop-up", the operations were the Providences would grab as many available materials as possible to top up the Mothership's resource supply. They also came during hyperspace - where all she had to do was monitor the quantum wavefront.

This was one of those times.

She had jumped the Fleet into an asteroid field, and the Resource Collectors were busy vaporizing local asteroids to feed into the Mothership's resource stocks via the Resource Controllers and their quantum portals.

And yet she grew bored enough to want a conversation. She cast her sensors over the fleet, before finding a lowly Scout flying about.

A quiet day on the Citadel was interrupted by a rather large piece of space junk. It was eventually overlooked, seeing as how it was just going to harmlessly pass by the Citadel.

If only those there had known what would ensue.

A blue gate appeared, before it spat out a damaged Vengeance-class Assault Frigate. The vehicle was in bad straits - while salvagable, it was venting atmosphere, had several holes visible in its hull, and no power to almost any of its systems. Its crew had managed to evacuate via escape pods before the capital ship group it was in jumped back to the Mothership.

Of course, strange interactions with the Wake Jumper had caused the Frigate to go very far off course.
