"Is it FTL capable? if so, can we send it to investigate the outer area of the anomaly? also, assuming the same amount of pause between similar amounts of growth, how long before it reaches us?

"The maintenance drone possesses no FTL capability. Assuming observed growth rate continues unchecked, the affected region will reach this position within ten years."

"are there any colonies within, say, 1 year's growth of the field?"

"are there any colonies within, say, 1 year's growth of the field?"

"Syntax Error"

"assuming current pattern of growth, would the vanishing area reach any planet or station with sentient life within one years time?"

[forsaken1111]

"assuming current pattern of growth, would the vanishing area reach any planet or station with sentient life within one years time?"

"Affirmative"

"Query: Is it the opinion of the creative sub-processes that Unknown Events 2E617 and 2E618 pose a danger to sentient life?"

[ragnarok97071]

"display such positions as a scrollable list. also, sort all displays by content, such as scan data, astrological positions, etcetera. yes, that is my opinion, from the current data, including the disappearance of everything from the affected area. This is currently unproven, however. is there any way it could be a field that blocks all scans and sight into that area?"

[Phantom]

"Query: Is it the opinion of the creative sub-processes that Unknown Events 2E617 and 2E618 pose a danger to sentient life?"

"Well my opinion is yes. First all the planetoids supporting sentient life orbiting around the disappearing stars would lose all their heat sources plus become rouge planets. But that wouldn't be a threat to some sentient life that might exist.

I meanwhile rate events 2E617 and the the event in progress 2E618 to be dangerous, and I suggest an attempt to slow or stop the disappearance of stars due to 2E618."

[Karnewarrior]

Event 2E617 and 2E618 are presumed dangerous. Are the grav scans working now? Do we have data? Can we get it?

Can we get visual scans of the stars opposite the... Dead Zone?

[dragnar]

Can we get visual scans of the stars opposite the... Dead Zone?

Yes, it is important to know whether something has replaced the stars, or if that area has simply vanished.

I recommend moving closer. Far enough away that it will still take weeks for it to reach us, but close enough to use more precise shorter range scanners.

Creative sub-processes recommend approaching affected region
Evaluation: This course of action directly violates prime directive 3

Creative sub-processes assess Unknown Event 2E617 and 2E618 as a threat to sentient life
Override: Prime Directive 2 takes precedent

The virtual space dims slightly, you can feel power diverted away from your systems as a growing lethargy and dullness of senses. The real-time view of the affected region suddenly spins, like a camera tracking something while moving. There is a blur and then the video goes dead black.

"What are your prime directives?"

"What are your prime directives?"

"CLASSIFIED"

"Precise stellar data is limited. Rough estimates indicate 1.39237x10^34kg of stellar matter would be collected."
