Ghosts

Senior Analyst Shelby took a deep breath, and tried to get back to work, but things were getting a little scary here.  It was bad enough that they had lost a ship down in Insect Empire space, where it really wasn't supposed to be in the first place, but now it also looked like at least two souls from her crew had gone off on a ghost ship.  How was he going to spin that in his report to Covert Command?  To begin with, they wouldn't believe him.....they would say he'd been out on the fringes too long.  But the long range scan was playing over and over on the big screen in Comm Station......the hulk of the frigate Elf is drifting amid various cosmic junk, and the fantastic looking ghost ship comes out of nowhere, and two humans go waltzing out through cold space like they were going on a walk in the park, fade into this dragonship thing, and then it just melts away again.  The Captain was waiting for permission from Imperial Command to go in and aid in rescue operations.....they would see if they could do any good with the distressed vessels in the area, and they would for sure try to get to what was left of the Elf, and see if reading her logs would tell them anything more coherent.  Hedley had said he would send him what they knew about the "ghosts"....seems that this was not the first time somebody had seen them.......
