::NN:: TRANSCENSION NEWS — Wormhole Service Interruption
 Image from Bernd Helfert |
It is our sad duty to inform that due to the current situation in the Caligiri Union, the Schmidt-Maestasis stargate is inactive for an indefinite time. The instability caused by the transcension event has forced us to limit the bandwidth across the wormhole to maintenance levels, and travelers or information will not be accepted. We apologize for the inconvenience and hope your stay at Haik Orbital will be a pleasant one.
We wish to point out that while the Unified Sentinentarian Code does support disaster refugee status to individuals and organisations wishing to leave the Caligiri Union, paragraph 5.3 does not imply an obligation on Schmidt-Maestasis or the Haik Demarchy to allow entry; see paragraph 7.4, "Blights", and 7.5, "Aggressive Self-replicating Swarms". Situation updates are being sent to Macyma, Los Verdes and the STC Emergency Group continuously.
Have a nice day.

Given the huge population of the civilized galaxy, and the fact that ascensions and transcensions are moderately common and have been going on for thousands of years, many polities and civilizations have developed some fairly reliable methods for predicting the onset of one of these events. Often this is comparable to pre- and post-singularity efforts at predicting the weather (and a large transcendence event does indeed share some conceptual characteristics with a force of nature to those watching from outside at a lower S level). - Wormholes - A Layman's Guide
