ISQ-26 "Nefantar"

The ISQ-26 “Nefantar” was a former gen-u-mine vessel dedicated to the exploration and resource harvesting. This was most advanced starship of its time. But while looking for resources, the vessel and its crew accidentally discovered “the artifact”. While the crew were not aware of what this mysterious item could be it was brought aboard to be studied from angle and perspective. Unfortunately, once one of them touched the artifact it set history in motion. The ship was continuing its original purpose to explore and gather resources, also study this mysterious object with great interest. But what they didn’t know was the fact that the ship was now gaining genuine sentience from the artifact comparable to an average human being. All around the ship the changes were barely noticeable, but they were there. Computers acting strangely, weird noises coming from usually quiet areas, even rumors that suggest a stowaway from the start of the voyage. However, the entire ship was searched from top to bottom, inside and out, but nothing. It was then decided by the officers to return to earth before the situation got out of hand. Little did they know, that they were about to set in motion the largest event in all of known history.

As the Nefantar continued its course back to earth, a very VERY mysterious thing happened, while a vast majority were put into stasis pods and the ship was running on a skeleton crew, the ship just stopped functioning, nothing worked for a brief moment and then... ABSOLUTE TERROR!!!!! When it was over the ship was no one of its own will, but was still set a course to earth and so it did or should I say he did.before it happen the Vatican and crew inform HQ about what was happening and requested a maintenance crew come aboard and check out everything on the ship to see what was wrong. Little did they know that would be the last transmission between them and earth. When Nefantar arrived back at earth he hailed by the ground control to clear the ship for landing, no response. They sent a shuttle to investigate, they tried hailing them, still nothing. When they finally got there, something was amiss. There weren’t any lights on, no radio chatter, not even from a cooking apparatus. But they did notice something. Then, BAM, out of nowhere the shuttle was grabbed by a tentacle emitting from the ship and was brought to bow of Nefantar and was placed before what wasn’t supposed to be on a ship or anything close to it... A GIANT EYEBALL. The shuttle crew was quickly overcome with fear, but that was the least of their problems. The tentacle that grabbed them was crushing the shuttle, mere seconds later, BOOM. the shuttle disintegrated from the sheer force of the tentacle. After seeing what happen and also for the fact that the ship was still on course for earth, there was only one thing to do... BLOW IT UP TO SMITHEREENS, COMPLETELY!!!!! But to late, the ship was on planetary collision with earth and the artifact with which it carried was jettisoned. Nefantar was lost to the sea right in the heart od Sydney harbor, Australia.
