Several hours of data refinement using the base's supercomputer cluster had determined when the event, whatever it was, had happened. On 821/10/18, something had been ejected from the anomaly, and it had been massive enough that the disturbance was still vibrating through the composition of the anomaly.
The flares turned out to be emissions from some sort of "rip" that was slowly sealing itself closed. It was too small now for a ship to go through, but, if the data was being interpreted correctly, whatever the object was had been in the weight class of a destroyer.
A query sent on the daily grocery run to Freeport 1 had produced a negative response for any time on or near that date, and, Star being who they are, it wasn't as if the Bretonian or Rheinlander governments were going to give up shipping records just because a private Zoner corporation asked.
In any case, the data is proving very useful to understanding changes in the behavior of the anomaly. I just wish that I knew what the whole thing represents.
