Official Appleton Laboratory Station Log

I was a little delinquent on making my log entries. I ended up taking a last minute invitation from some old colleagues to visit them on Planet Cambridge over the last two weeks and see some of the work they have been doing. They have been working on a new graviton emitter technology that looks very promising. If they can work out a few technical difficulties, I will consider seeing if I can incorporate the technology into the mining array.

Jordan was supposed to make the log entries, but he failed to do so, I guess I am lucky the station was still here when I got back...

Both the Gateway contract and the Kishiro contracts have been completed. The one exception is that I need to send the bonus to Kishiro for completing it on time, but I am still waiting to hear back as to where to send the funds.

While I was gone, Alyssa determined after extensive study believes that this unknown radiation is coming from hyperspace. We need to heavily modify a hyperspace scanner to help detect the source of the radiation. I think we may build it here instead of trying to buy one and modify it. It will require quite a bit of time and infrastructure to build the facilities to build the scanner, but I think it is the best option. It will give us full control over the design, maintenance, and operation of the scanner. This operation is a little outside what our original purpose in this system was, but since no one seems to be able to offer an explanation for the radiation, I think this is a scientific mystery worth investigating. I just have a feeling that there is something here worth chasing.

I still need to work on obtaining some Nomad technology to see if that can be a solution for protection from the radiation for our superconductors. I haven’t gotten to it yet.
