Here's a read only copy of the AAR.
They were handled without much trouble and haven't been spotted in the system since then. But if they continue to meddle then I'll seriously consider firebombing Yuma.
They'd appreciate the extra landmass, I'm sure.

Commander,
This network was established for communications with Miss Narukami, primarily regarding Planet Sudbury. Other matters should be discussed via other channels.
Regardless, thank you for sharing the report. The behavior of the Crayterians is as oddly naive as usual. We may need to reach out to the Republic and come to yet another arrangement regarding Planet Sudbury. I would appreciate it if you avoided hostilities whenever possible in the mean time.

Commander, Agents.
While I am far from reaching any conclusions at this given moment in time, I could present you with what I was able to gather so far.
Let me begin with an obvious elephant in the room - even though my equipment is far superior than the second rate stuff you can find at a regular flea market, any attempts to record phase readings have resulted in white noise. However, after recording the said noise, I ran a cross-reference check with regular spatial anomalies and other known natural signal interferences, the kinds you'd encounter in the nebulae or Jump Holes that have gone out of phase alignment. The "noise" itself, although not lacking for any said frantic readings, is consistent. Whether emitted by the planetary installation or if it's a byproduct of the entire process - I cannot say. Both cases are equally likely.
Attempting to retrieve any readings with probes is also out of the question - only six out of twenty probes that were dispatched on Sudbury's surface could return a signal, with those six landing outside the array's active area. On the other hand, that did help me narrow down an approximate interference radius to five thousand kilometers. All of that means I have to count on my own experience, visual observation and practical research, although my probes are currently running a deep sub-surface survey routine to see how far down the interference can reach and how the entire process affects the planet itself. Needless to say, the survey routine will take approximately two weeks to yield any results.
Simultaneously, I am performing a manual visual observation of the array. I have many guesses and hypotheses on what it could actually be, but I'll share something I already did with Agent Senator. What I am about to say is nothing more than guesswork with no concrete evidence or proof. While I can't deny the possibility of it being a superweapon, a more likely scenario is that it could be related to hyperspace one way or the other. I assume that the array itself could merely be a response to a signal that travelled through hyperspace, while the installation is attempting to send the said signal back and establish a stable hyperspace corridor - identical to how Ageira's Jump Gates function.
Yet this is where I hit a roadblock. The array's azimuth travels through space that has been entirely enveloped by a Dark Matter Storm. My telescope can't penetrate through this blackout. I am also unable to deduce whether the signal is travelling through the said storm or if it's attempting to reach something within it - the closest discovered system aligned to the trajectory would be Tau-37, but it's too remote from the installation. So it's likely that the array is pointing towards something within the Dark Matter Storm, with the Storm itself being the reason why the installation's response is "delayed".
So far, that's everything I have. I require additional time to submit a more definite conclusion, but I am leaning towards this so-called Hyperspace Window hypothesis.
I will get back to you when I have more to say. Do not expect me to follow a deadline.

Tau-37 doesn't seem right.
I'm no scientist but math was an intimate part of my old life. Even going off a rough bearing, the nearest system I would suspect is Coronado. But what I don't know is if it's merely passing through Coronado and if it's capable of "bouncing" its signal in any direction other than a straight line. Regardless, the magnitude of this beam's power has halted Sudbury's rotation entirely. The core is stalled. I feel like planetary detonation is imminent if the beam is in fact pulling power from the wealth of thermal energy available at Sudbury's core.
This is all hypothesis. But this theory is at least one we can potentially confirm. If you're willing to investigate then I'll have industrial excavators sent planet-side to deploy deposit probes. They're built to withstand a generous amount of heat, enough that they can get deep enough into the crust to get us readings on what the core of the planet is experiencing.
There's just one problem. The sensor package isn't designed to do that. If you can jury-rig it to fit the bill, then let me know when you can. I'd appreciate being able to prepare for something that I can be reasonably certain about.

Worlds of the Barrier Nebula would've made greater candidates - and would've made my research times easier - if the array's trajectory was at least twenty degrees to the west. Nevertheless, considering a "rerouting" hypothesis could also prove to be valuable.
As for excavation probes. I'm not going to stop you, but provoking tectonic activity - even with something as "insignificant" as an excavation probe - may further destabilize the situation we already have on our hands. Or it may not. However, I am no tinkerer. And if anything, given their expertise, I imagine your colleagues from the Order should possess the appropriate technology for invasive survey. Or they could engineer one.
Correct me if I overestimate your organization's capabilities, Agent Senator.

Miss Narukami, Commander,
Analytics concurs with Commander Morreti. As stated in our own initial report on the anomaly, our measurements indicate that the anomaly's beam may intercept the Coronado system. Of course, an error of even a fraction of a degree may result in it passing the system by a light year or more. The very nature of the anomaly makes it all but impossible to take precise measurements, much less come to any certain conclusions. You should pursue any hypotheses your own data support.
As for further excavations on the planet itself: While the Order frequently conducts excavations of potential alien sites and possesses the required equipment, it typically does so with the assistance and expertise of third parties. Third parties that, at the current time, we do not intend to involve in the Sudbury anomaly's study. Not to mention that ferrying the required equipment and personnel to the Ontario system would pose far too great a risk under the current circumstances.
The anomaly's study will have to carry on with what limited means we currently have at our disposal.
In service to humanity,
Senator

I expect this transmission to not reach you in time. The date of me writing this is February Eighteenth, year Eight Hundred and Thirty Five After Settlement, Fourteen o'clock.
The survey of Sudbury's subsurface area, while interesting for purposes academic, was completely irrelevant to the case overall. However, I could safely deduce that the installation does indeed draw the power from the planetary core. With the interference emitted by the installation, the "hows" and "whys" will remain a mystery, at least for me and all the humble tools that I have at my disposal.
As for the source of this signal. I couldn't find any leads in Coronado or other charted worlds of the Barrier nebula. Moreover, the visible ray's azimuth still persists in the direction of the Dark Matter Storm. On a hunch, I addressed outdated charts in hopes of finding a system that once was known to be north of Ontario, one that got enveloped by a Dark Matter Storm. Other than Kepler, there was one more - Alberta.
I have already relocated to Ames. You need not warn me about the dangers, nor will I need rescue.
It has been a pleasure.
