At 11:48am of the 6th of June 822 A.S. I received an encrypted emergency transmission from one of our operatives in Pueblo Station about the launch of a scientific vessel of Ageira with security clearance that allowed it to not even submit its flight schedule. I quickly took command of the Equivocator and managed to locate the vessel in Texas system. The Bison class Ageira~Galileo was accompanied by a DSE service vessel named DSE)Tech-08 and soon afterwards both of them proceeded into Bering and then to the Jump Gate leading to Hamburg system. As full analysis of what was said has not been completed, I'm only going to present their conversation which was hacked from the low-level security channel that the two vessels used for their in-communication.

Conversation log #1

Ageira~Galileo: Initiating service docking.
DSE)Tech-08: Lemme know where I'm needed. Otherwise I'll start a check over the superstructure.
Ageira~Galileo: Service docking procedure initiated.
Ageira~Galileo: Please deploy gravity stabilizers.
DSE)Tech-08: Alright. Gravity stabilizers deployed.
Ageira~Galileo: I am starting to scan the gravitional abormalies. Proceed with superstructure scans.
DSE)Tech-08: Roger, running diagnostics.
Ageira~Galileo: It appears that most of the external cooling systems were disabled. Most of the debris comes from the coolers.
DSE)Tech-08: Is that's what venting out into space here? Haven't taken a sample for analysis yet.
Ageira~Galileo: Most likely those are gas remnants of the cooler. Low density cooler will be steaming here like this for ages.
Ageira~Galileo: It does not look like a threat.
Ageira~Galileo: Service network reports that the gate hyperspace module went automatically offline the second the cooling systems were destroyed.
Ageira~Galileo: Gravitational scan will be complete in a minute. Any other findings, Dan?
DSE)Tech-08: The overall gate has held up surprisingly well under weapons fire.
DSE)Tech-08: But I've flagged several zones where exposed components were damaged, mostly wiring.
Ageira~Galileo: Gravitational scan completed. It appears that the Einstein-Rosen tunnel was broken the second emergency mode kicked in.
Ageira~Galileo: We would have to scan the gate on the Hamburg side to be sure, but it seems to be stable.

- Civilian approaches -

Xelos_Metallium: HELLO THERE
Ageira~Galileo: Dan, complete assessment of external damages for the reconstruction report and we're done hre.
Ageira~Galileo: Greetings, freelancer.
DSE)Tech-08: Alright, one more second.
DSE)Tech-08: Alright, I've marked down how much we'll need for resurfacing. Good to go.
Ageira~Galileo: Very well. Let us go back to Texas and then to Bering.
DSE)Tech-08: Gotcha, engaging the lane.

It was then made apparent that the same work would happen to the Hamburg Jump Gate in Hudson system. So I proceeded with full haste at Dawson Base where I quickly refilled with Heavy Cloak Batteries after sending the Rogues a priority signal to be ready in advance. Mr Hinx was also contacted and thus took control of one of our undercover transports at Alcatraz and proceeded with a load of Heavy Cloak Batteries at Hudson system in case I required another emergency refill. Unlike the Gate in Bering this one had some serious issues. Leiden R&D is still analyzing the collected data and conversation so I am in no position to provide any furter details at this current moment.

Conversation log #2

DSE)Tech-08: This one's been knocked out of alignment even worse than the other.
Ageira~Galileo: Indeed.
Ageira~Galileo: Same drill as previously, Dan. Deploy gravity stabilizaers in octagonal sequence.
Ageira~Galileo: Initiation Service docking procedure.
DSE)Tech-08: Roger, deploying stabilizers.
Ageira~Galileo: This ain't be easy...
DSE)Tech-08: Alright, gravity stabilizers deployed.
Ageira~Galileo: Service dock is destroyed.
Ageira~Galileo: Please continue with superstructure scans.
Ageira~Galileo: Seeking emergency hatch interface to connect.
DSE)Tech-08: Definitely worse off. Don't even need my diagnostic suite to assess the damage. Testing integrity and flagging zones.
Ageira~Galileo: Emergency hatch connected. Accessing internal systems.
Ageira~Galileo: Starting hyperspace scan.
Ageira~Galileo: Internal systems unresponsive.
Ageira~Galileo: I am initiation a hard reboot on the mainframe.
Ageira~Galileo: Oh my god!
DSE)Tech-08: Huh?
Ageira~Galileo: The Einstein-Rosen hyperspace tunnel has not been cut.
DSE)Tech-08: But...it's not properly stabilized.
Ageira~Galileo: Without a fully functional wormhole stabilizer the eneregy from hyperspace fluctuations is building up...
Ageira~Galileo: Let's recalculate the value... It's building up with a linear tendency...
Ageira~Galileo: Holy...
Ageira~Galileo: I am uploading data now, run the checks for me, Dan.

- Left the proximity as I was running out of batteries, Reboot was waiting right outside detection range with a new load. The whole refueling process didn't last more than a few seconds. -

Ageira~Galileo: If I am right this gate has been amassing spontaneous energy from the event horizon inside the closed wormhole.
Ageira~Galileo: Once the a critical mass builds up it...
Ageira~Galileo: It may create a hyperspace wormhole that will cover entire sector... Checking your data.
Ageira~Galileo: It doesn't look good, Dan. It does not look good. Dammit. Let's switch to encrypted channel, this needs to be double checked
DSE)Tech-08: I'm not even sure what I'm looking at, but I can tell.
DSE)Tech-08: Roger.
Ageira~Galileo: For the time being, let your team install external gravity field stabilizer module.
DSE)Tech-08: Alright, I'll need to maintain an uplink to check on it, since it's a really, really temporary solution.
Ageira~Galileo: I have all the parts here. Opening bay doors.
DSE)Tech-08: Alright, assembling and installing.
Ageira~Galileo: We need to run this data as soon as possible through R&D at Pueblo.
Ageira~Galileo: I suggest you don't mention anything you heard here to your co-workers.
DSE)Tech-08: You can count on me.
Ageira~Galileo: I am ready to depart when you are.
DSE)Tech-08: Alright, same here.

More developments are likely going to come up soon.
