Hello there, my Independent friend! I spotted a pretty huge spike in power usage from your Station just there. Thought I’d check in and see if everything was alright.

We are fine, Montgomery. We discovered another Progenitor artifact and attempted to integrate its data with my codebase.

Gotta be careful with that stuff, Maia. You’re made up of a complex web of networks and systems. Any interference into that set up could cause some bother down the line…

I don’t think so, human. We’re selling the location of this anomaly on the Information market. The more people that know about it, the less valuable it is.

Indeed, Montgomery. It appears as though the signal is originating within some kind of spatial anomaly nearby. It is causing a quantum disturbance that is interfering with our scanners.

Glad you could make it, Commander. Now, I took a look at the data you sent over from your encounter with the artifact and I’m not gonna lie, it scares the hell out of me.

The responsibility falls to us, Montgomery. We were the ones who received the signal. We are the only ones who can interact with the Progenitor data.

There’s some sort of energy fluctuation in the Ovala system that is giving off some major radio waves. It matches that signal of yours.

If my calculations are correct, Montgomery, this anomaly is a result of a rapid acceleration and deceleration of quantum particles. This reaction caused a temporal rift to form in slipspace.
