Independent, my ship is in a critical state! The Void is mightier than we could have ever calculated. It’s going to consume me! Get me out of here, now!

Copy that. Commander, the researcher’s ship is being pulled apart by the gravity flux – we need to act fast if we want to save them.

Using the tractor beam in the current state will harm the ship and cause damage, but if we create an object of equal size and mass to act as a counterweight, Tibithus will be able to leave the flux.

The hostile ship has fired at the researcher’s vessel – the shockwave pushed it closer to the Void. Commander, we must destroy the hostile ship, or Tibithus… will be… devoured.

Our leading Void researcher, Tibithus, sent a distress signal after approaching the anomaly’s edge. His research and data might be crucial for our understanding of the Void, so we need him returned safely.

The quantum flux has torn the ship apart, but we’ve managed to recover Tibithus. He has suffered bio-cellular transformations, but, despite some mental damage, he possesses the same level of intellect.

We will take it from here. The ship should have collected the data we needed, but Tibithus is a much more potent source of information right now. You did well, Independent. Dismissed.

Tibithus is aboard and secured in the medical bay. Initial scans show partial bio-cellular disruption. However, the cells are not destroyed but repurposed, skipping the pluripotent stem cell stage.

We can not use the same method again. The only way to save Tibithus is by beaming him aboard. I will divert all the excess power to the engines and transporter room. Tibithus, prepare to abandon ship.
