'You weren't supposed to do that!' Churt Lyne yelped.

Ulver had spotted the part of the text panel that overrode the read-out, and pressed it. She snorted. 'Shh!' she said, nodding at the screen. 'You're missing it!'

Excession notice @.

Constitutes formal All-ships Warning Level 0 [(in temporary sequestration) — textual note added by GSV Wisdom Like Silence @].

Excession.

Confirmed precedent-breach. Type K7^. True class non-estimal. Its status: Active. Aware. Contactiphile. Uninvasive sf {trans.: so far}. LocStatre {trans.: Locally Static with reference to}: Esperi (star).

First ComAtt {trans.: CommunicationAttempt} (its, following shear- by contact via my primary scanner @) @• in M1-a16 & Galin II by tight beam, type 2A. PTA {trans.: Permission To Approach} & Handshake burst as appended, x@ 0.7Y {trans.: (light) Year}. Suspect signal gleaned from Z-E {trans.: Zetetic Elench}/lalsaer ComBeam {trans.: CommunicationBeam} spread, 2nd Era. xContact callsigned «I». No other signals registered.

My subsequent actions: maintained course and speed, skim-declutched {?} primary scanner to mimic 50 % closer approach, began directed full passive HS {trans.: HyperSpacial} scan (sync./start of signal sequence, as above), sent buffered Galin II pro-forma message-reception confirmation signal to contact location, dedicated track scanner @ 19 % power and 300 % beamspread to contact @ -25 % primary scanner roll-off point, instigated 2exponential {?} slow-to-stop line manoeuvre synchronised to skein-local stop- point @ 12 % of track scanner range limit, ran full systems check as detailed, executed slow/4 {?} swing-around then retraced course to previous closest approach point and stop @ standard 2ex curve {?}. Holding there.

Excession's physical characteristics: (?am!) {trans.: anti-matter} sphere rad. 53.34km, mass (non-estimal by space-time fabric influence — locality ambiently planar — estimated by pan-polarity material density norms at) 1.45x813t. Layered fractal matter-type-intricate structure, self supporting, open to (field-filtered) vacuum, anomalous field presence inferred from 821kHz leakage. Affirm K7^ category by HS topology & eG {trans.: (hyperspatial) energy Grid} links (inf. & ult.) {trans.: (the hyperspatial directions) infra and ultra). eG link details non-estimal. DiaGlyph files attached.

Associated anomalous materials presence: several highly dispersed detritus clouds all within 28 minutes, three consistent with staged destruction of >.1m3 near-equiv-tech entity, another ditto approx 38 partially exhausted M-DAWS.1cal rounds {trans.: Miniaturised-Drone Advanced Weapon System nanomissiles}, another consisting of general hi-soph level (O2-atmosphered) ship-internal combat debris. Latter drifting directly away from excession's current position. Retracks of debris clouds' expansion profiles indicate mutual age of 52.5 days. Combat debris cloud implicitly originating @ point 948 milliseconds from excession's current position. DiaGlyph files attached.

No other presences apparent to within 30 years.

My status: H&H, unTouched. L8 secure post system-scour (100 %). ATDPSs {trans.: Auto Total Destruct Protocol Suites} engaged. CRTTDPSs {trans.: Coded Remote- Triggered Total Destruct Protocol Suites} engaged.
