Entry 2

The initial survey of site OM-2A has be...been carried out and, thankfully, s...somehow undisturbed. We crossed paths with a few vessels of note on our way into the Omicrons. None enquired on the Solace's destination and the jaunt from Freeport Eleven to the site was unchallenged. I expected inteference or some sort of interjection by the locals yet... well, I shall not complain of a smooth ride. The illusion of a smooth ride, at the least.

Laying eyes upon the site once more, after all these years, brought sorrow to my heart. To think I once saw it standing proud, regal, amongst the cosmos. A marker of a civilisation immense and powerful. A monumental glimpse into the window of possibilty. A gateway both literal and figurative. A revelation brought to ruin. If such devastation can be wrought to the creations of those so much more advanced than ourselves, then we must proceed with gusto.

It is a fate we, as a species, must deny with all our heart and energy. With the implications that this destruction was wrought from a Pulse similar to that experienced in Ontario, this research is all the more pressing.

Such destruction does come with it benefits. The damage caused to the outer structure of this gate allows for the scanning of the integral structure of the object, as well as the opportunity for sampling the materials held within. There are some potentials that shall be explored and, if needed, accounted for during analysis. The object appears to have a closed surface, but there is little guarantee the materials within are the same without.

What if the interior material has degraded in some form now that it is exposed? Is there the possibility space-borne microbes have contaminated the samples? Afterall... we coat our ships in protective layers against such creatures. No reason to think the architect's of this gate did not think to do something similar.

Speculation and conjecture. We shall find out soon enough. Material samples were placed into bio-hazard containment and there they shall stay until further analysis is carried out.

There is another object twinned to this parent gate. It's shape and structure bare a resemblance to alien objects I have once seen before. If memory serves me right, then I believe they were capable of firing energetic projectiles. Memory is such a fickle thing however, and with a lack of historic data and records examination shall begin anew.

Most curiously, the structure features a leak of a gaseous substance known as "Azurite Gas". This leak produces a steady stream of this gas that collects around the structure. When the density of this gas reaches a certain threshold, refraction of light from the system's solar bodies causes a particularly bewitching visual effect. I suspect local groups are aware of the leaks presence - there are storage facilities in the system that I suspect may have tanks full of this gas. Regardless, samples of this twin structure's materials were taken and stored securely. It would seem remiss not to collect samples of this gas whilst present.

The journey homeward bound was as uneventful and unchallenged as the journey outwards. With the intention of returning via Valravn Citadel, the Solace and I sailed past the stars of Omicron Alpha and through the Tau's. Such a beautiful part of Sirius. I gaze upon those white clouds as long as my retina's can bear the strain, and it is never without regret.

With some of the cylinders of Azurite gas deposited to Valravn, I've returned back to Heisenberg eager to begin the work of compositional analysis. I shall need to be studiously cautious in getting these samples to the lab. Perhaps doing so during a low-traffic window with a couple friendly words to the air control could get the clear path to-and-fro needed. Oh, I cannot wait! Let us peer into the heart of the matter and see what truths peer back!
