Whilst I was in the Omicrons briefly discussing about the trial with the Vagrants, a faint electromagnetic disturbance and some emergancy comms were picked up - then lost again.
After the minor meeting, I proceeded to find the source of the signal, tracing it back to Liberty, New York. What a surprise, it was Tutashkhia and some random pirates assorted with Outcasts who'm claimed to have caused the California Gate to be disabled. They appear to have used an item named the NEMP Bomb - Nuclear Electromagnetic Pulse bomb - old stuff. We found one before, but the little bastard who had it blew it up.
Me and ERI on the Eidolon Wraith proceeded to approach the gate after we noticed the electromagnetic clouds swarming the gate in the distance. Upon closer inspection, the gate seemed to be 'leaking' out energy, causing slight interference with the residual energy in the background, hence the storm effect, as the energy is building up, primarily due to it's particles being charged up by the gate.
Whilst the idiotic and completely irrelevant worms - the mentally insecure pirates - fondled each other in the background, we managed to get some time to ourselves to analyse the gate itself. It seems to be heavily damaged, the internal components seem to be hit the most, as the gate's energy system seemed to overheat, most likely the pulse waves knocking out the capacitors. The highlighted segments received the most damage.
The Energy Conductors also show excessive faults, with recorded temperatures up to 8600°C, whilst the I.F.F identification system fails to register any ships jumping codes. Upon attempting to interact with the jump system, the gravity field will fail to stabilise, as the stabilisers fail to even start, hinting towards the internal system being demolished. If left unchecked, it could mean that an unstable anomaly could be formed in the process, as there is nothing 'keeping it down' - per say. When also attempting to use it, the systems warn of an anomaly, hinting to it too.
DSE has already attempted to look into the structure, obviously meaning Liberty will be in great haste to repair this fault. All in all, it isn't going to blow or splurt out any dangerous anomalies anytime soon, thanks to the analysis ERI provided me. That's all that matters.
The Eidolon Wraith returned to Inverness with this data concerning NEMP Bomb's capabilities of damage. On another note, with a private deal, we managed to obtain 2740 units of Azurite A6 - now allowing us to do... things in the future. Mmmmmm.
Oh, and all Auxesian personnel are to avoid these systems and to not harm any "Vagrant" Nomads, along with their affiliates.
