Impressive that you used a spectrographic study to ascertain the crystals make up. However, this isn't a sure fire conclusion that these crystals are the elements that you say. Spectrometry has come a long way in the past thousand years since Ancient Earth, but it isn't 100% conclusive--at least in my experience. What we need to do now, is obtain samples and examine them within a vacuum under a microscope to confirm your findings. This is a critical step of our research.

Once we confirm the elements that make up the crystals, we can do a process of elimination and see if these things possess a fourth or even fifth element yet discovered which are causing these strange reactions. Your research stated that there were unusual vibrations in the vicinity of these crystals. This was not in the report we received from our Pathfinders. We will need to send them back out in a smaller craft to investigate as both visitations of the crystals in system were from larger vessels and perhaps the vibrations are more noticeable in a smaller craft.

As to your last question concerning the light refraction, align your ship with the local star behind your ship and allow it to shine past your fuselage. You will note that parts of the crystal facing your cockpit at a 90 degree appear to shimmer and warp as the starlight hits it. Keep in mind, this is only a theorized reason for the strange light refracting effects. More research is needed on this to verify this hypothesis.

In closing, I have earmarked much of our limited budget on completing the Andromeda-II, a liner with advanced research capabilities for future studies such as this. With any luck, we will be able to get a completed prototype space-worthy during our studies to support the Sol with it's studies anon.
