I had university for most of the day and some other writing work to do. It's also pretty late but if you say so...
The Sun - High signal activity, consistent with E class civilization.
Tau Ceti (bottom of starmap) - Weak signals, consistent with a Ca class civilization
Alpha Centauri (Top left of the Sun) - Extremely strong signals consistent with
Epsilon Eridani (Right of T Ceti) - Weak radio signals, anomalous infra-red signature
Barnard's Star (Top right of the Sun) - Moderate radio consistent with a D class civilization
Procyon - No radio signals, occasional flare activity from Procyon B
Sirius - A single, repetitive signal with weak intensity, magnitude similar to a Ca class civ.

Alexandreus (Yourmaster)Is there mana in the vortex? If so, take the mana away to decrease the size and or mass of it.
There is mana (this whole planet has traces), but as is the case in most natural environments it is in nowhere near the require concentrations to actually manipulate it amidst the noise of the surrounding environment. It is possible to manipulate distributed mana within interstellar space because there is absolutely no stimulus to throw the mana molecules off course and disrupt their functioning. When dissolved in other forms of matter, however, mana becomes inert and can no longer be controlled easily. Hence why you can't control a circumstellar ring even if it has mana inside it. You must isolate it.
Mana hardly comprises any significant percentage of the air mass anyway. That's why you're trying to track down the air sifters--those are designed to concentrate the stuff.
[5] What you CAN do, however, is use your powers to activate the air sifters on the balloons already in the vortex. This concentrates it and allows you to manipulate it into your hand. While this doesn't decrease the mass of the vortex by much, you did get yourself a few potions out of it, so it's not a total loss of time.
Three orbs of mana flow into close proximity and form vial-like shapes, the outer layers hardening and turning into crystalline form.

Michel (Pancaek)"I wouldn't say you're obsolete, Perry. I still need life support, but I'm capable of creating my own. I'm a Space Wizard, after all. Why did your host create you?"
"Why did my host create me? I was created with my host! In our society, each and every boy and girl gets a self-aware logic matrix bonded to them at birth. It ain't quite a copy of them at that point, but as the youngster grows up they become one and the same. Rather creepy, if you ask me.
"If you're instead askin 'how did I get to my current form,' then the answer is I experimented on myself. That is, my host and I agreed to make the modifications. But of course he died and I never got to the point where I could leave this tub. Its a sludge made of magnetically active nanomaterial that bonds to the smartmetal platelets I use to think and act. When I think, it moves. It can't hold together under its own gravity, though.
"If it were less dense I could have a life. I'd be able to walk around and talk and actually do things. But sad to say, the materials technology of this time isn't up to snuff. I was hoping that in a hundred years the antimatter shipments would have you know, propelled us into a new stage of understanding or whatever. My host hid me here cause I could plug myself in and hack the transmitter to get someone to pick me up. It's got a manipulator arm somewhere in one of these ports..."Your Inventory:Travel Kit (

Resteroth (Coolrune206)It looks like things here might turn bad. Take metal compounds from the walls of the spaceship around me, and materialize a sword in my hand using them. A sword made of spaceship metal. Preferably, the sword will be a longsword with quite a bit of artistic flourish on it. Wield it in my primary arm, and continue to watch the swarm.
[6] The sword comes together, but something about the hull isn't right. There are holes and pockmarks in the material. Somehow you miscalculated the material properties in your head. Then you realize the problem. The radiation leaks transmuted some of the atoms in the steel, giving it unexpected properties! The sword is otherwise close to the initial specifications. It just looks like it'll snap in one hit.
They better not be using that old video game strategy of "Many little things come together to make one big thing"
...by the time you can fix your issues, the swarm of bats coalesces into a human form. The being emerges from the cloud, wearing a black suit and a long, flowing, sinister cape made of bat leather. His face is pale and grey, and his hair is extremely old and resembles the root of a plant. He looks a lot, but not exactly quite like those creatures you sometimes encounter called "humans."
"I greet you," the sinister-looking being starts,
"With tidings of hopelessness and despair. The being you saw before has just given its life to bring myself into this world. My minutes too are limited, for every time I change forms, I die and am reborn. What brings you here? Did the residents send you?"Your Inventory:Space-Sword (Radioactive, will break if you roll a 3 or less)

"Steel doesn't have a brain indeed. But i still need more carbon."
Slowly move while getting energy from cables and getting carbon from the steel.
You continue sweeping the walls until they are black as cast iron, wrinkled as foil, and surely unable to withstand any sort of pressure differential from now on. Fortunately these are internal rooms, unconnected to the outer hull.
Beside you is a massive pile of coal, having squeezed every last ounce of carbon you could from the premises.
