Hello, dear friends. This communication is encrypted, between you and I. Not even the Directorate can see this one.
I've been working on a little secretive project, on part of a suggestion to a mutual 'friend' of yours. You see, I've been investigating some of your more distant kins structures and your forefathers derelict remains within the Anchor and it's boundaries.
And I admit, due to such decay of these ancient structures... I'm finding it a little troublesome in reverse engineering how they function. I have some semblance of an idea, but, I have found myself with a bit of a block with the missing data. Data, that includes synthetic compounds of a silicon nature. For this little experiment of mine, I do have plenty of spare resources from the said Anchor system, as well as some Azurite and additional crystals repurposed from the failing Knossos archive, so access to plentiful materials is not an issue in this case.
Respectfully, I may be pushing my boundaries here, but, I... would like to possibly ask if you would be willing to share on how these gates are constructed? How are they maintained? How are they repaired? In lieu of my gratitude, I may have some intel to provide you, though I do not know how much of this is a part of Harby's little game of cat and mouse for the sake of idle curiosity.
Ah, and I do have one positive note. The Ethereal Strider is awake.
