The last weeks I've been wrapping my head around the mysterious phenomena that happened. "The Blackout". The shock of such an occurrence was clearly not taken so lightly. Of course.. as long as it was a problem and a stop into the economical machine of each House. Can't help but to imagine what would this sector would've turned into if each system was disconnected. We only had to use jumpdrives.. to luckily reach our destinations at first. A world without the Jumpgate Network. Exploiting the remained stable jump holes comes first in my mind.. but we would've adapted. Perhaps create new technologies to facilitate the new situation? Certainly some systems would've been re-discovered too late.

A fascinating thought but what fascinates me is the revelation of this Gravimetric Nexus system, that some christened as "Earhart". An interesting choice of name given to what history told us about it. I haven't gotten there yet, but I've worked with telemetry data from various autonomous drones that the Technocracy uses for long range mineral extraction and material acquisition.

Aside from the words imprinted, a feeling of joy and triumph would've been written into the Memory Matrix.

I theorized in the past when I spent most of my time studying the what's now named Omicron Pi system, the possibilities and the hints we found written and left in our Sector, that a larger force binds this and interlinks the star systems at a quantic level. For whatever reason, the alien artifact in Earhart affected at a quantic level the gravimetric relays of the Jumpgates. Point A to point B had no clear definition anymore. Some consider Earhart blatantly a "system", but as I've read the notes about this being a ... "dimensional" place. A Nexus as I said inside the space-time continuum highway. Fascinating. So to some extent.. I was right. What's more troubling.. is what managed to trigger this. I wonder if my colleagues within the Technocracy.. know more. I suspect Revenant might, but as far as I've observed, she is a very reclusive individual. I respect that and I wouldn't want to overstep with my curiosity for the time being.

Following, a sentiment of enthusiasm and impatience would be merged within the device.

Yesterday I got a new vessel. I honestly thought I would be turned off by Kishiro. Talked with a certain Mister Krenton. He had a colorful way of speaking about us but despite that, the man delivered. The cost was double also than the usual price of a Renzu Liner, but I had to acquire it this way. The important thing here was that we had a good business deal with Kishiro and shown them that we mean it. But the vessel is in prime state. It's absolutely amazing and its so easy to be customized. I've been told by the engineers over Valravn that the equipment retrofitting is smoothly and everything feels like it was made to be modified as much as one would like.

It even arrived with an exquisite art gallery. I've taken a look, surely the crew will enjoy those decks more as a recreation area.

The memory of the vessel being seen by Dave for the first time is imprinted.

I took command of it and it felt exactly as I imagined it. I still need to think of a name. "Kimitsu" won't probably work as it is now registered. I took it and moored it successfully over at Valravn. It stays there and the refitting process is going as I save this memory log. When the vessel is ready, I'll take it to the deepest reaches of space to take a closer insight about the gravimetric anomalies surrounding Earhart.

Another visual memory is engraved into the matrix, now depicting the vessel being docked at Valravn Citadel.

Yesterday also.. I've met a doctor called "Nana Threadripper". She seemed to be a technocrat, with her origins from within our group. A fascinating revelation that one. She is a fellow scientist and her enthusiasm regarding her work was genuine and personally thrilling for me. I am always delighted to see like-minded individuals. She offered to have more discussions about her work and some more sensitive scientific topics aboard her research station. I will take the Terminus to it later on today...
