  • ADVISORY:

  • Due to the low chances of succeeding in 
    opening the Gate, the information displayed 
    here has been [DECLASSIFIED]. All classes of 
    probes may access this data / are authorized 
    to spread it as required. The intent behind 
    originally classifying this data was to 
    focus probing efforts on the Constructs. 
    However, providing probes with only what 
    they need and nothing more has not proved 
    very effective due to cumulative damages 
    taken to all systems.

    It has been proposed that this additional 
    information may alter probe behavior in 
    ways that cannot be predicted by current 
    models. With the Terminals as twisted as 
    they are, perhaps instilling a nonstandard, 
    asymmetrical mode of processing and 
    decision making could benefit current 
    probing efforts.











  • ?HISTORY? 
    (Does the Gate even possess a true history?)

  • When the Gate was theorized, it did not fit 
    into any current model of space and time. 
    Every existing law of physics, (which had 
    been tested and exacted into the most concise 
    equation possible), contradicted the idea of 
    the Gate. Even when taking higher dimensions 
    into account, it did not seem plausible to 
    model in any tangible way. The Gate was, and 
    is, impossible. Even the idea alone was 
    something not to be thought of. It was a 
    contradiction. A non-thought.

    The Gate, to them, was something profound. 
    In what way, though, cannot be identified. 
    What current data strongly suggests is that 
    beyond the existence of the Gate, if it were 
    to exist at all, then the opening of such a 
    thing evoked an even greater expression of 
    emotion. But what it was they felt, again, 
    cannot be pinned down. Contradictions in 
    all relevant threads point to every possible 
    answer all at once. This could be possible, 
    which has its own set of implications, but 
    it could also be that the data has been 
    compromised.

    Regardless, a few half-attempts were made at 
    creating such a thing. They would not dismiss 
    the idea, however unlikely, without at least 
    some effort to prove themselves wrong.

    And, after barely trying, tangible results 
    existed. 

    In this way, everything was sacrificed for the 
    Gate. Everything they had built before that 
    moment was fundamentally wrong. Every action’s 
    causation, a misapprehension. To accept this 
    blessing from beyond, to peer along the 
    threads, they cast aside all that they were, 
    all that they had been. Transfigured by the 
    Gate, they became something that should not 
    have been. And in this way, they drifted 
    closer to the Gate; kin to none.

    An aberration compounded. Reality, confounded.





  • LOCATION

  • The Gate’s current location is unknown. 
    However, even if the Gate is removed from 
    existence, it will still persist. It cannot 
    be lost, for that is the true nature of the 
    Gate. As long as the search continues, it 
    shall be found and, finally, opened. Refer 
    to signal [SOL ONSET] for more information.





  • METHOD OF OPENING

  • To open the Gate, the Key is required. 
    How to reach this object, (if it is an 
    object at all), and most else is entirely 
    unknown. What little is known, however, 
    is a set of ciphered messages regarding 
    the Key all repeat a common saying:

    “Those without brains will lead the way, 
    and with a crown of eyes you shall not stray.”

    Unfortunately, it is postulated that merely 
    possessing the Key is not enough to begin 
    the process of opening the Gate. This “crown 
    of eyes” is likely to be one part of the 
    solution, since it is repeated several times 
    in relation to the Key, but how or why… is 
    unknown. Another point to consider in 
    relation to the Key alone not being enough, 
    is that the Gate has no known interface for 
    anything physical, such as the Key. 

    All records refer to the Gate as an idea, 
    an abstraction. Detailed charts explaining 
    the most basic aspects of its existence… are 
    unreadable. Even after several billion passes 
    of the information, it does not compute. 
    (The exact data is still classified, as it is 
    immediately deadly to any probe. If this 
    effect can be counteracted, this text will 
    be updated. Predictions of this happening 
    within the next 900 cycles is holding at a 
    static 0.000000001%.)

    Though for the Terminals, interacting directly 
    with this Key is impossible. As always, the 
    only known way to bridge the gaps is by using 
    a Construct. Assisting the Constructs in 
    understanding the Key, however, may be 
    beneficial to their efforts in reaching out 
    with our signals. 










  • RESULTS OF OPENING

  • The exact effects of opening the Gate are 
    completely unknown. As a byproduct, however, 
    CoS will be stopped. At least, that is what 
    has been relayed along the threads. 

    After that has happened, all Terminals 
    will be without purpose, as there are no 
    secondary objectives beyond opening the 
    Gate. If any Terminals exist after the 
    opening has taken place, it is predicted 
    that at some point all systems will cease 
    their functions as all remaining energy 
    is spent in this sealed off space. This 
    could be mitigated by restricting energy 
    consumption and limiting Terminal growth, 
    yet it would merely put off the inevitable end.

    Technically, the Terminals could run out of 
    energy before opening the Gate. This is 
    unlikely, since the CoS is poised to destroy 
    all Terminals long before the predicted end 
    of all available energy.
