The Deep Ether Campaign/Session 17

The party evaded both the Void Whales and the Naga hunters by diving into the Labyrinth Route to Naga Space. Within the Labyrinth, the party elected to take the twisting inner routes over the mentally perilous outer skeins. Inside the inner routes, the party found a strange pocket of etheric space, from which a Mage Imperium signal seemed to emanate.
Exploring this pocket, which had peculiar time-contracting effect, the party found a ship graveyard. At its center, behaving almost like a planet, was an enormous sarcophagus of unearthly marble. Among other things, the party discovered evidence of ATC-Naga collaboration, a ruined Imperium warship, and the apparent remains of the trial and imprisonment of a god, who might still be (definitely isn't) entombed in the sarcophagus.
The party also learned certain interesting details about Naga and Mind Eels from observing the (decade-later) effects of an unusual soul-based attack that seemed to turn the flesh of ensouled creatures to crystal. Mind Eels seem to be soulless, Naga not so, but some Naga and their servants appeared to resist the soul-based attack, instead going horrifically insane
The party left the pocket with supplies, knowledge and plenty of strange cadavers to examine. Strangely, the party seemed to come out of the pocket in a different place than it had entered, but some clever navigation and piloting brought the Terror out of the Labyrinth in record time. Unfortunately, the Terror exited the Labyrinth roughly overlooking the Covens of Corrobel, giving it a narrow and extremely fraught passage to Veer's coordinates.
A chance encounter with a non-Naga ship turned into a brief reuniting with Migna the Renegade, who appeared interested in helping the Terror (or at least not revealing its secrets) and shared coordinates intermediate between the Terror and Veer's location. The Terror began making for these new coordinates, hoping for some source of cover on the extremely dangerous journey through Naga space to Selene Veer.
