-[Strange Days In Wake Of 'Empress Incident']

A series of freak occurrences have followed in the wake of the reappearence of the 'Empress of the Skies' two weeks ago. Multiple strange happenings have been reported over the course of the past fourteen days, from electrical problems in the Halvorsen District and strange flooding in Floyd Tower to the unexplaned circular holes burned into several buildings in Bowman Gardens. A representative from Station Security has said that they are assembling a special team to investigate the strange events, which they do believe are connected.

-[Scientist Says 'Empress Incident' Redefines Jump Physics]

"The disappearence and subsequent reappearance of the 'Empress' represents an unprecidented event that redefines our entire understanding of how the Jump Drive works," said Dr. Anderson Leigh, professor of physics at the University of Europa, in an news conference on Tuesday. "By our previous understanding, a ship leaving drive space at any time other than 121 minutes after entry was impossible." Dr. Leigh stated that if we can determine what caused the incident and repeat it, we may be able to open up "new fields of science previously unimagined." When asked to elaborate, Dr. Leigh said that anything he could say at this point would be theoretical at best and wild speculation at worst, but that he plans to release a report detailing any findings he discovers by the end of July.

Dealing with the problems that have appeared on the station in recent weeks has left Station Maintianence crews severely undermanned, and routine maintainence issues have fallen by the wayside as a result. Multiple reports have come in of doors unfixed and small air leaks unplugged, and in an unprecidented incident yesterday, a transport tram from Poole Wood to the Leonov District remained trapped in its tunnel for seven hours while maintainence teams worked to fix other issues. "It's nobody's fault," said Maintainence Dispatcher Daniel Wills in an interview earlier today, "we simply haven't had to deal with this level of [expletive deleted] before." Wills stated that normal maintainence schedules will be restored as soon as the strange incidents die down, "if they ever [expletive deleted] do."
