MES Cybernetics Invasion V1.1

A lone prospector, after searching the asteroid belt for weeks, finally sees something on the mass detector. This could could be just what he needs to repair his ship, pay off his debts, hire some crew, and maybe have a few space credits left over.

As he approaches within visual range, he realizes that this is no asteroid. It looks like some kind of machine. It emits no energy or thermal signature, so whatever it is, it has been here for a long time and is very dead.

Donning his EVA suit he goes outside for a closer look.

Examining the device he realizes that this is unlike anything he has seen before. This could be worth a lot of credits at the trade station. Its too large to bring inside his ship, but he could probably strap it on the outside if he could find some way to attach it to his external cargo rack.

He spots something that looks vaguely like a cargo tie-down ring and as he grabs it to test its strength, an arc of electricity jump from the device to his hand, knocking him back, and shutting down his suit.

As his suit reboots, he hears a radio transmission over his earphones, but there is too much radio noise to make it out. The noise finally clears, and he hears a repeating message, "Biological life form detected. This unit not functional. Send reinforcements".

As the message repeats, the device begins glowing, brighter and brighter. So bright that his visor auto-dims to protect his eyes. A sudden discharge of electricity overwhelms and burns out his suit.

After that... only darkness.

- A new encounter. I won't spoil the surprise by telling you what it is.
