Furnace Super Gate opens!

Post by Gus Givens »

The activity around Cinq Port and the sheer volume of scientific vessels that have been docked at the Jump Gate in Kelsey left little to the imagination these last few days - they were doing something to the Jump Gate that was clear. Unfortunately a news media blackout was placed on us as it appears the brass were worried about heightened terrorist activity.

But today all traffic through the gate was disrupted whilst Professor Harriet Guildham and her team made final upgrades to the highly secretive project they have been working on over the last few months.

A few hours ago several large Gal-Fed cruisers and a series of trade delegate ships from all the major Factions preceded to make a jump through the gate. What made it unusual was not the volume and type of traffic but the way the gate pulsed a dark blue for 30 seconds before the jump gate initiated.

We have been given a short official statement that we can repeat for you :

"With the help of the Carbodyne Institute and their recent breakthroughs in the better understanding of Alien technology, Gal-fed Scientists have been able to upgrade the Kelsey Jump gate to what has now been classified as a Super Gate.

Recent research in the D.I.P.S.I technology enabled us to communicate with the 'Furnace Galaxy'. With the collapse of all travel back to the Core and the withdrawal of Gate technicians the jump gate in Kelsey has been unable to jump the required Vast distance to the Furnace Galaxy, but no more! Once again we are connected to our larger sister Galaxy Furnace.

A joint Military and Trade delegation has gone though the gate to Furnace to sign treaties that we have been working on with the Furnace governments in secret over the last few months.

A news black out was imposed on the Gate and all communications between ourselves and the Furnace Galaxy due to several terrorist incidents. Now the gate is fully open we will release as much information as we have to the Galactic Press."

That's the entirety of the statement we currently have, but we have been promised full and unabridged access to the Furnace information over the next few days.

For now we can see Captains queuing to enter the Kelsey Jump gate and from the way it keeps pulsing an amazing blue I'd say most of them were headed to Furnace. With the Military and Trade groups having already been in contact with our long lost sister Galaxy we can hope for a warm welcome on the other side!
