"Captain, we have a problem it seems there's a micro-black hole ahead of us throwing off radiation quicker than the ship can adjust to it, it's interfering with our particle drive, we're loosing cohesion of the factual core".
The creepy silence began to emanate from the bridge as the crew started plugging into their terminals sifting through the data in their minds quickly determining there would be no way to break free from the energy which had so quickly ensnared the vessel. In a voice eerily calm in the chaos the captain said, "launch a class XII probe and a beacon warning people away from this region of space, I want everybody through D-con and into cryo in less than three go, now"!
The sleek black ceremetal ship began to rock wildly as the magnetic emanations from the micro blackhole caused ruptures and tears in the purple lightning rho field, coursing over the ship like a Second skin which allowed the vessel to cross the vast distances of space.
As the crew quickly began preparing themselves to leave the bridge and moving towards the doors the silence was broken by the AI interface. "Captain I've discovered a multidimensional fractal Fibonacci spiral code interlaced in the signal, I'm still analyzing it but it seems to be a protocol for sequencing our Rho field resonances, I can use our frequency modulator in our shields and allow us to pass through this field and through the black hole into what appears to be another region of space, shall I do so?"
As the rest of the crew stops and turns to the captain she says, "I have heard other races possess the technology to utilize black holes to traverse subspace but we don't, will the ship be able to handle the stresses?"
"I will have to shut down all nonessential systems, and there are a lot of variables that I am unsure of, but from my calculations so far I believe it should be possible, I cannot give you any assurances of where we will arrive afterwards though. It is quite possible we may arrive in a very dangerous area of space".
"Considering we're being torn apart right now, I can't see it can be much more dangerous go ahead and do it, okay everyone into the Cryo-tanks there isn't a more secure location on the ship". As the crew heads off the bridge and down to decontamination and then prepares to get into the Cryotanks they wonder what kind of region of space they could be exiting into.
Out on the rim where space was controled by different alien races, mega-corporations, smugglers, slavers, privateers, and the Ultra-wealthy, all tired of the social governance of Imperium law. No one felt particularly secure as the crystalline metal-glass doors sealed around them.
The captain took one last look as everyone seemed to be securely contained within their embryonic chambers, before she gave the command to seal her own. As the ship was bucked and thrown through space, they moved ever forward towards the black hole which slowly engulfed them in a streaming circle of darkness and space, matter and entropy, until only a glimmering singularity remained.
