Greetings

I am captain Jarline Duke of the Duke family's 'Corvo' class research cruiser 'Treecat-II'.

Our science team has for some time now studied the Dark Matter clouds in the Kepler system, and now turned it's attention to the two Dark Matter clouds in the Texas system. We've been given permission by the LSF to conduct field studies under the condition to report back any findings.

Our current working theory is, that the malfunction which 'created' the clouds caused an anomaly inside a dense Dark Matter cloud to 'override' the destination of the Texas prototype 'gate, and thus syphoned off the Dark Matter from there.

During our first trip into the 'Grande Negra' cloud, we came across the wreck of the Supply Ship Ft. Worth. Our probe found an intact compartment inside one of it's cargo-pods, and we were able to retrieve two 'White-Boxes' containing either Lane or Gate parts, which were meant to be delivered to the Dallas Research Station - as far as we know exactly during the accident.

Since we're attempting to create a simulation of the accident, examining the technology used in the prototype, as well as any non-classified information concerning that project would be invaluable. We're particularly interested in sensor readings taken prior to, during and after the accident and information on whether or not the Jumphole pair from Texas to California - each located at one of the prototype's locations - already existed and was used in the project.

Thus we'd like to ask for your permission - and the necessary codes - to open the two 'White-Boxes' and any information you would be willing to share. Should you rather have us return the 'White-Boxes' to be analysed at an Ageira laboratory, then please inform us of which station we should deliver them to and what time and day would be feasible for you.

With Regards
Jarline Duke
