Dear Colleges,

As you may know I have returned from my retirement to step in as Interim Chief Executive Officer for Ageira Innovations. When we were founding Ageira innovations with Anthony Hall I never expected it to grow so much over the last year. I was always more interested in Research and Development, but Anthony Hall and John White dedicated their entire energy into building our exquisite transportation wing that became a trademark of Ageira Innovations. I am afraid I will not be able to meet such a goal myself. I do hope that with time Anthony Hall's indisposition will cease and he will return to the role he played for Ageira Innovations during last year.

For the time being you will have to bear with me. In upcoming weeks I will be doing re-evaluation of our assets so please provide me with all necessary information should I require it.

Sebastian Hart,
Acting Chief Executive Officer,

Mission Log: Sebastian Hart, Hudson and Bering Jumpgates Maintenance

---

Dear Colleges,

There is a priority mission to be undertaken. As part of our internal and external assets re-evaluation we need a full maintenance report on disabled Jumpgates in Hudson and Bering leading to Hamburg. As you know, these Jumpgates were "disabled" by the Rheinland Military in a desperate attempt to cut off Liberty Navy onslaught. Recently we received a signal from a silent alarm within one of the jumpgates. This issue must be addresses as soon as possible.

I want to assign a team to complete this mission as soon as possible, so if you wish to take part in it, please contact me.

Sebastian Hart,
Acting Chief Executive Officer,

Scientific Report: Sebastian Hart, Hudson and Bering Jump Gates

---

Mission Overview

Ageira Innovations Bison class transport Galileo was loaded with all the necessary equipment and awaited at Pueblo Station for arrival of Deep Space Engineering technical support team. At 1900 hours on 6th July 822 AS our convoy left Pueblo Station and through New York and Texas reached uninterrupted Hamburg Jumpgate in Bering. Technical support team deployed series of gravity field stabilizers around the jump gate and initiated preliminary superstructure analysis, while Galileo moored to a service dock in order to access internal gate systems and complete hyperspace folding scans. Once the superficial maintenance was completed the convoy returned to Texas and headed to Hamburg Jumpgate in Hudson. The same procedure was used, though this time the service dock was destroyed and most internal systems were down. Galileo used external communication hatch to access remaining internal systems and proceed with hyperspace folding scans. Once the scans and preliminary calculations were done, the convoy left for Pueblo Station.


Bering Jump Gate Status

Hamburg Jump Gate in Bering received medium structural damage. Rheinland Military leaders correctly assumed that destruction of external cooling modules, of which remnants compose the small debris field around the gate, will initiate emergency shutdown protocol. The wormhole and its fueling singularity were slowly dispersed in controlled environment. Gases which are stemming out of broken components of the gate are remnants of the coolant and pose no immediate threat.

Hudson Jump Gate Status

Hamburg Jumpgate in Hudson suffered critical damage which not only destroyed its external cooling systems and changed the spinning vector of the gate, but also destroyed most of its internal emergency systems. Emergency shutdown protocol failed leaving the hyperspace bridge open and the fueling singularity unstable. The event horizon of the singularity is spontaneously producing large quantities of energy that is trapped within the hyperspace bridge. Once the singularity build-up inside Hudson-Hamburg wormhole reaches critical mass the hyperspace bridge will collapse uncontrollably producing catastrophic supernova powerful enough to destroy entire Hudson and Hamburg systems and possibly even Texas and Bering.

Possible countermeasure

Construction of massive gravity stabilizers on both sides of the Hudson-Hamburg wormhole would allow to slowly reopen the hyperspace bridge and initiate a process in which excess energy trapped inside would be siphoned out in order to starve the proto-singularity there. Once this process is complete the wormhole will slowly stabilize itself. Unfortunately, construction of the above mentioned stabilizers and supporting stations would require unprecedented in times of war cooperation between Rheinland and Liberty.

Scientific Report: Oleg Nikolayevich Petrov, Hudson Gate

Comrades, Dis damage to Hudson gate much worse then thought. Upon our arrival to gate ve met vith DSE ship. Both vessels scanned gate and damage to hyperspace very bad. Scanners report the imminent emergence of singularity in hyperspace. Dis not good. A hyperspace survey by a mk 3 hyperspace scanner be required to determine extent of damage. Request was made to DSE for scanner to reveal full extent of damage.

Comrades, Preliminary scans showed very bad damage to hyperspace. Ve entered Rheinland to assess the damage on the other side. Da Rheinlanders shot at us. Ve vere not able to get close for scan and had to leave. Before ve left ve vere able to make partial scan which confirmed dis readings on the Hudson side. The details of my diagnosis is as follows. Using the standard Schwarzschild formula. Ve vere able to make estimate of singularity in formation.

Sr = 2Gm/c2
Sr = 2(6.67428 x 10^-11) (6840828027900.0234Kg)/(300,000,000 m/s)2

Using this calculation ve vere able to roughly map dis singularity.

822-06-19 05:07:36 Oleg Petrov: Dis gate broke. Begin diagnostics
822-06-19 05:09:04 Newton Science Officer: Comrade Petrov. The scans are showing a massive instability is forming. Scans indicate the imminent formation of a singularity.
822-06-19 05:09:47 DSE Technician: Greetings Ageira.
822-06-19 05:10:01 Oleg Petrov: Good day Comrade. Dis gate is broke. Ve are attempting diagnosis.
822-06-19 05:10:43 DSE Technician: Excellent, may I run some tests alongside your own?
822-06-19 05:10:53 Oleg Petrov: Of course comrade.
822-06-19 05:11:21 DSE Technician: Hmm, this is certainly unsettling.
822-06-19 05:11:21 Oleg Petrov: Scans show the imminent formation of a singularity.
822-06-19 05:11:31 DSE Technician: Yes, I can see that...
822-06-19 05:11:34 Oleg Petrov: Dis not good comrade
822-06-19 05:12:02 DSE Technician: I read the PSA. It's certainly becoming a high priority for the administration
822-06-19 05:12:26 Oleg Petrov: Da
822-06-19 05:13:20 Newton Science Officer: Sir these reports can't be true. If what I read is correct we have a serious problem
822-06-19 05:13:46 Oleg Petrov: Dis worse then i thought. Run full hyperspace scan
822-06-19 05:14:13 DSE Technician: Hmm, the structural integrity of the unit doesn't look irreparable at first glance. Though that is only a scratch on the surface.
822-06-19 05:15:00 Oleg Petrov: Da this damage very bad. But check hyperspace. Much damage.
822-06-19 05:16:04 DSE Technician: Hmm, may I see your report so far?
822-06-19 05:16:36 Oleg Petrov: Ve read an instability in hyperspace. Sending data now comrade.
822-06-19 05:16:43 DSE Technician: Thank you. Commencing video stream. Christ... this is a serious problem.
822-06-19 05:18:15 Oleg Petrov: Comrade ve require a full hyperspace survey of dis gate. Does DSE have a mk 3 Hyperspace scanner?
822-06-19 05:18:40 DSE Technician: I believe we do. I shall depart at once and consult my foreman. See if we can bring that down here.
822-06-19 05:18:50 Oleg Petrov: Spasiba. I vill stay and continue the scans.
822-06-19 05:19:15 DSE Technician: Thank you for this data. I'll relay this information and see what we can do in the first instance. Someone will be in touch as soon as possible.
822-06-19 05:19:37 Oleg Petrov: Of course comrade. Always a pleasure. Safe skies.
822-06-19 05:23:25 Newton Science Officer: Reading instabilities on the Rheinland side. Comrade Oleg, we must check the other side. These scans can't be ignored
822-06-19 05:25:34 Oleg Petrov: Yes ve must investigate.
822-06-19 05:29:29 Oleg Petrov: Dis is ze Ageira Technologies Research ship "Newton" Ve request access to study dis gate. We read much instability on dis side. ve must be allowed to work. Moving to Hudson gate to assess ze damage. Dis gate shoots at us. Comrade scan quickly
822-06-19 05:33:53 Newton Science Officer: Comrade Oleg, we are too far to scan.
822-06-19 05:34:11 Oleg Petrov: Dis not good. First Rheinlanders break gate then they shoot at us. I vunder. Can blast be deflected?

Upon our initial arrival at ze gate ve vere most surprised by ze appearance of a Hellfire Legion vessel. Dis ship vas piloted by ze Lord Commander of ze Hellfire Legion. Ze Commander recognized ze grave danger and protected us vhile ve completed our work. In return ve promised to share our findings with ze Hellfire Legion.




Comrades, Ze hyperspace survey of ze Hudson gate be complete. Preliminary analyses confirms ze imminent formation of ze singularity. Ze survey revealed also multiple irregularities in hyperspace. It seems these irregularities have fractured ze integrity of subspace throughout ze area. Vithout immediate repair it iz very possible these irregularities could spread throughout ze sector. If dis does occur it be likely that hyperspace travel vould be impossible. Comrades ve must prevent dis from occurring. All ze data has been transferred to the Ageira laboratories for confirmation of mine findings.

822-06-21 05:17:47 Lord Commander Locklear: But that does not sound promising.
822-06-21 05:18:26 Oleg Petrov: It will result in the complete destruction of the surrounding systems. It is in everyones best interest to see it fixed.
822-06-21 05:18:34 Lord Commander Locklear: Are there any assets the Legion could spare to assist with the situation?
822-06-21 05:19:10 Oleg Petrov: I ask only that you don't interfere with our work.
822-06-21 05:19:30 Oleg Petrov: This is not about Liberty but about saving millions of lives.
822-06-21 05:19:33 Lord Commander Locklear: Locklear: If you know anything about the Legion, you should know that we're here to do the opposite.
822-06-21 05:20:01 Oleg Petrov: Da, I had hoped you were more enlightened.
822-06-21 05:20:53 Lord Commander Locklear: I can post a task force here in Hudson to ensure that your work is not interrupted, if your higher ups deem it appropriate.
822-06-21 05:21:20 Oleg Petrov: Ve velcome all those that vould assist.
822-06-21 05:21:46 Lord Commander Locklear: Are you in need of any specific supplies delivered to the site?

822-06-21 05:30:23 Oleg Petrov: Over six thousand units comrade.
822-06-21 05:31:31 Lord Commander Locklear: It seems as though you have most of it already, and the DSE captain is on his way back with more, yes?
822-06-21 05:31:51 Oleg Petrov: Da comrade. Let's hope he hurries though.
822-06-21 05:32:07 Lord Commander Locklear: Perhaps I should've gone with him instead.
822-06-21 05:32:32 Oleg Petrov: Perhaps, It vill be close.
822-06-21 05:35:10 Lord Commander Locklear: Long range scans indicate the DSE transport has just jumped back in.
822-06-21 05:35:18 Lord Commander Locklear: They should make it by the skin of their teeth.
822-06-21 05:35:25 Oleg Petrov: I hope so comrade.
822-06-21 05:36:46 Lord Commander Locklear: Drop that fuel, ASAP.

822-06-21 05:44:58 Lord Commander Locklear: I see.
822-06-21 05:45:18 Lord Commander Locklear: For the record, the Legion sees ideology, not ethnicity, when judging a person.
822-06-21 05:45:44 Lord Commander Locklear: We even have a few men and women of Crete and Maltese descent working together among our ranks.
822-06-21 05:46:04 Oleg Petrov: Ahh. I did not know zis comrade
822-06-21 05:46:19 DSE)Stratofreighter: Reimi: Hai, very interesting.

Yesterday me and Mr. Jensen, captain of the Almarra, met someone called Ms.Pimakhova
outside Leduc station. For unknown reasons our station was firing at her,
although she was not hostile. We had a small chat about Ageira and the station.
Now Ms.Pimakhova has contacted me through an encrypted channel,
saying, that I should forward her message to Mr. White.
Attached is an excerpt from my flightlog.

While making regular deliver of Superconductors to Aland Shipyard I was halted at my destination by a Hessian transport. When I refused to cut my engines, the pirate opened fire on me. Due to top-of-the-line armor plating installed on our Bisons I was able to withstand and prevail. The Hessian quickly fled while being completely crippled.

Later on, Alan Pace joined me on the trip to Planet Sprague with intention to bring back Titanium to Pueblo Station. On the way back, in Cortez System, known criminal interrupted our convoy and announced to be claiming a bounty on me. Our strategy to evade his fire and lure him towards Hamilton Station succeeded and using our advantage we pursued the hostile to put him down. This was the third time this ship has engaged Ageira's ships and the second time it gets destroyed. On top of that, he openly revealed to be working for Congress' captain named Wheat, who is known for flying illegal ships and breaking embargo. Here is an attachment of audio logs.

Dearest Employees,

This is a notice of highest importance. Less than hour ago I have received troubling report from on of our employees. The audio logs reveal that Junker Congress is treating all Ageira vessels with hostility and has issues a kill on sight order.

I have attempted to seek peace with them however they are ignorant and stubborn. They deny their involvement in hiring mercenaries to attack our convoys. They deny reason and common sense. They are dangerous to society.

All employees are required to hire escorts and avoid any contact with cartel known as Junker Congress until these hostilities ceases from their side. Any and all expenses will be reimbursed from corporate funds in such case where escort cannot prevent damages against your vessels.

Seek shelter if Junker Congress vessel appears to possess ability to harm you. Inform local authorities of this issue and demand to be escorted safely. Our corporate escort wing is being mobilized and will provide services free-of-charge.

Report any encounters with Junker Congress in this channel. Use any means necessary to protect yourselves against these criminals.

Concerned,

John White,
Chief Executive Officer,
Ageira Innovations
