"Gateway event"

Mr. Abrams,

I just read the reports from Vigil-1 and Empress concerning yesterday's "events." I also received a report from Port Said.

It is time we cut the niceties and secrecy and for you to come clean with what you know about the Kepler anomalies, the unknown space they lead to, the Sentinels, and how they all relate to one another. I nearly lost one of my best men and another operative, and whatever the three of you did out there nearly resulted in the complete loss of one of our listening posts.

Dozens dead and dozens more injured. Several cruisers lost or crippled. An entire fighter wing wiped out. You had better convince me that you did not possess information that could have prevented this disaster had it been shared with us beforehand.

I want answers, Mr. Abrams, and I want them now.

Hawkins, out.
