The only solid information on the Darkness comes from an ISR report from centuries ago.<ref name = "Journey"/> At that time, the Darkness appeared just beyond the edge of the [[Solar System]] in what was termed as a "''TRANSIENT NEAR EXTRASOLAR EVENT''", with the only means of determining that a transient event had even occurred was through the detection of a 0.3 second displacement of gravity waves, as well as anomalous interactions in the local Higgs field traced to [[Wikipedia: | The only solid information on the Darkness comes from an ISR report from centuries ago.<ref name = "Journey"/> At that time, the Darkness appeared just beyond the edge of the [[Solar System]] in what was termed as a "''TRANSIENT NEAR EXTRASOLAR EVENT''", with the only means of determining that a transient event had even occurred was through the detection of a 0.3 second displacement of gravity waves, as well as anomalous interactions in the local Higgs field traced to [[Wikipedia:Sterile_neutrino|sterile neutrino]] scattering. | ||
An AI observing the event, the [[Warmind]] [[Rasputin]], was able to derive some information, based solely on the phenomena that it could detect, but was unable to ascertain its mechanism. Rasputin conducted an "Omnibus analysis" of the event's effects on local spacetime, measuring a wide range of data points including direction, distance, range, speed and size as well as a comprehensive pattern analysis of the event itself. This last set of data showed, to a certainty of "9 Sigma", a definite and measurable pattern which had a complex, almost linguistic, structure that demonstrated both intelligence and intent. | An AI observing the event, the [[Warmind]] [[Rasputin]], was able to derive some information, based solely on the phenomena that it could detect, but was unable to ascertain its mechanism.
