I. GENERAL OVERVIEW
A day ago the Titania went to Fischer. Near a comet we've found another rift that brought us to a different location in the Omega-97 system. A location that was illuminated in a strange, bright light probably coming from the anomalies. Among those anomalies we've spotted a wreck. It looked very similar to a Core Gunship. In it's cargo hold we've found a containment unit, containing one of these strange anomalies in a weakened and fluctuating state.
II. OBJECTIVES
Determine what these anomalies are and where they originate from
Find a way to contain these anomalies
Find a useful application for these anomalies
III. METHODOLOGY
Approach: Observation in a constant environment - Increase/Reduction of energy - Interaction with samples in a complete and contained vacuum
Variables: Samples - Energy input - Variable energy types
IV. MATERIALS & SETUP
Large Containment Unit - Complete vacuum
Data logging device and permanent video recording
Cookies (Those are for me.)
Rock samples from the area
Samples of the derelict ship hull
V. OBSERVATIONS / RESULTS
Timestamp
Observation
Notes
T+01:00
Anomaly remained weakened and fluctuating
No actions were taken - Observation only
T+02:00
Brightness increased - anomaly became more active - a low, song-like hum emitted from it
Exposed to short bursts of Gamma-Rays
T+03:00
Brightness decreased - anomaly weakened
Increase of electromagnetic containment - lead encasing cancelling energy exposure
VI. ANALYSIS
Interpretation: From first observation these anomalies seem rather strange. The exposure to gamma-rays has shown what I've assumed. The high radiation in the system might be the reason why they can thrive there. The fact that some of these anomalies attacked our ships suggests that they might have a defence mechanism.
Uncertainties: Why is the anomaly emitting a faint, song-like hum. It appears these anomalies might not be natural.
Risks / Concerns: Re-activating the anomaly might hold severe risks. The anomalies in Omega-97 and Fischer are extremely hazardous for humans and their ships.
VII. CONCLUSION & NEXT STEPS
First conclusion: These anomalies can emit a vast amount of energy, however, they seem to need energy themselves first and foremost. Robbing them of said energy and draining them seems to leave them weakened, almost starving. One might think these anomalies are actually alive.
Follow-up steps: Feeding of different types of energy and quiet observation in a contain environment.
