EVENT: Hangar Bay

TRIGGER: Camera Feed Lost

---

>video Feed displays an open area. ships cleared and stored on Barrier Gate for the duration of the event.
>center occupied by weapon testing rack w/ hardpoint mount. 'Item No.52' mounted and coupled to unidentified energy signature with Aluminium and Steel-Reinforced cables (13cm diameter). detailed scan identified source as 'rudimentary technology'.
>unit 'CLBN' on-site operating weapon rack console.
>no auxiliary units present.
>unit 'CLBN' converses with itself. self evaluation. diagnosis/debugging.
>video interference.
>zoom to 20.0x is counterproductive. revert to 1.0x zoom. static floods in.
>testing phase officially begins.
>energy readings rise. initial temperature for main energy source is 220°C. power coupling reads 244°C. audio warning issued.
>300 seconds passed. no response. unit 'CLBN' presumably raises voltage.
>'Item No.52' is online for 255 seconds. experiment ends with terminal reaching end-of-life due to [◼◼◼◼◼◼]. cables reach 350°C. outer isolating layer(s) receive permanent damage. weapon rack cuts power to device (safety fuses implode). excess energy is discharged with possible EMP effect. video and audio feed lost after cutting power to 'Item No.52'.
>'rudimentary technology' (see initial log) logged as a 'battery'-type device. structural integrity at 85%. report logged 5492 seconds after incident.
>added note by unit 'CLBN'
>"I need to invest in better cooling. It's almost safe to do a proper test run."
>reply received from unit 'AMP' 23 seconds later.
>"must review technical designs and risk factors. idea: use primary ship powercore to stabilize auxiliary battery."
