Arcturus was somewhat surprised because, for the past day, they had been en route to the area where the Arachnids were being active; both Zehal and Jeniale were behaving very well, rather too well.
To the point where it was becoming suspicious.
But he guessed that it was a good thing because at least they were not fighting amongst each other all day. Not to mention, just yesterday, they got a message from the Directorate that a violent Cosmic Storm was approaching the surrounding Star Systems, and it would last for a longer time.
The most modest guesses of the educated people were that the Cosmic Storm would pass in a few weeks at the fastest, but realistically speaking, it could remain here for a few months. This information rather soured the mood of the vehicle because it meant that nothing would be able to leave these Star Systems or enter these Star Systems.
