The ship passes through space. It had left at 2:00 in the morning, and all of the ships of the various characters here are asked to come along. Helvena and Kumo seem unnaturally tense.
Helvena calls a conference in the ship at 0230. By then the group has already left the solar system.

ashley will teleport into his chair in the conference room. mephiasu will step out of one of the shadows in one of the rooms corners and walk over and sit in his seat. sandro enters through the door and sits down at his seat in a very formal matter. nekia will flash into his seat.

Helvena looks at the assembled members. There is a rushed panic in the air, an urgency that seems to vibrate through the air. "I apologize for the early hours, though none of you are exceptionally heavy sleepers. I will ignore the pleasantries and skip right to action, if no one minds."
Without waiting to hear a response, in the meeting room with its white compartment chairs, a six-dimensional hologram is projected. "This is the Gabrian-Larella star system. The local governance is the X-tylan States, a set of aligned states of a few races, one predominant race among them called the Nordess who are non-humanoid and non-bipedal. A day ago, local time, an unpopulated mining planet in the area was destroyed by an amazing resonance. A Tier 3.8-armed fleet from the federal government of the X-tylans was sent and was destroyed before even encountering any possible source. The resonance continued on chaotically, and by now 34 planets are destroyed as well as five major fleets. The X-tylan States have no existing enemies, and there have been no declaration of wars. None of the affected states, of which there have been three, share much similar in terms of racial, cultural or economic makeup, and to the best of our knowledge nothing was looted or taken."

"so someone or something simply want's to kill everything, is this possibly the work of Itek"T

Kumo laughs. "Never attribute to malice what can be attributed to stupidity."
Helvena shrugs. "Though nothing is beyond the talent of a sufficiently skilled fool, I somehow doubt that this is random insanity. But that does not mean that there is not some selfish motive. The difficulty is that we cannot see a motive. If that's the case, then Itek may or may not be involved. Logically, there are at least six possibilities:
1) Itek is involved but this is a red herring. 2) Itek is aware but not involved. 3) Itek is involved and this is a core part of her plan. 4) Itek is not involved and this creature has a plan. 5) The Kumo hypothesis - stupidity, insanity or both. 6) There is no creature."

Hinata will speak from the chair next to Mephiasu "but don't you eat people too?"

"Yes but you see I am not a crazy alien bug that serves dark gaia, thus I am not a bitch" Mephiasu will reply to Hinata.
upon hearing the words "serves dark gaia" Nekia will say "oh she will not be serving dark gaia for much longer I can assure you that much."

Helvena's response to Hack is, "It would seem logical to assume Itek, but we don't know."
Kumo laughs. "Isn't it a bit unfair to pick on Sadistic Bug Bitch when she's not here?" Helvena raises a finger, to which Kumo says, "What?" Helvena ignores the designs on a members' life to say, "Mephiasu is correct, she cannot be associated with everything."

Helvena shakes his head. "We actually have something. The resonance matches a special type of bell used by an order of monks, the Durbents, who believed in the contemplation of sound, music and silence and who 'spoke' only in song and instruments."
Kumo rebuts, "Whatever, ya dumbass pituitarily-challenged freak, bottom line is we don't know what armed this force, what backup it may or may not have..."

"sonic weapons, the monks either made the weapon or are the ones who are using it"

Helvena quickly corrects Hack. "No, these monks were not fighters. They were pacifists. That's why they have been so whittled down."

"But perhaps someone knew that the monks were pascifist and took whatever this is from the monks to use it for there purpose" Sandro will say.

Helvena replies, "Why these bells in particular, though? To the best of my knowledge, their craftmanship was stellar but not beyond replication."

"sonic weapon, the monks may not have realized or intended for it to be a weapon, my guess was that it was used as a tool for clearing debris, but what ever the purpose, clearly the bell is being used to destroy, at least in my perspective"H

"They were a pacifist order. Their bells were used for contemplation and contemplation alone. Clearing debris was below them."

Kumo laughs. "He got you there, Helvena. The monastery was built with resonance..."
Suddenly, the ship shakes! Something is striking or impeding it somehow, enough to make the entirety shake, though no actual damage is registered.

mephiasu gets an actual birds eye on it (activates eagle eye three) to see what is causing the ship to shake, ash casts scry 3 to check out what might have caused the shaking of the ship, nekia uses flash (transgressive mars djinn) to erect a barrier around the ship to stop the shaking and protect form further attacks, sandro summons his ghost dragon outside the ship to see what attacked them, marche casts aura 4 on the group in case they are attacked.
