To Order| from CR| re: Technical advisory needed

I have been tasked by my government to approached you with a query on how to best deal with what appears to be a typical, alien jumpgate.

As you well know, one such installation exists in Coronado and is a source of concern for all inhabitants of the system. It is the firm belief of my government, that humans and aliens and their thralls cannot coexist and therefore the latter must be vanquished. For the moment however, a decisive campaign aimed at extinguishing all enemy presence in Drake would be ill-advised due to insufficient intel and very limited means, with which such an operation could be conducted.

Therefore, the current thinking is to somehow deactivate the alien gate and thus perhaps not remove the threat entirely - but most certainly neutralize it as far as the immediate surroundings are concerned. The problem however is, that we possess no knowledge as to dealing with aliens and their technology aside from recognition and violent disposal. While perhaps demolitions would disable the gate reliably, if records are to be believed - physically destroying an active gate of any sort can lead to a system-wide disaster, as evidenced by what happened in Texas.

We would welcome any advice on how to make the alien gate go silent and at the appointed hour, any "physical" support you would deem appropriate.
