The Memo

Arrivals shuttle docking with the station, releasing passengers, and pulling aside for maintenance...

Welcome to the Heaven's Gate Anomalous Zone. Or just Heaven's Gate for short. You've come by the shuttle - that's uncommon, considering how many have dedicated to the incentivized cryogenic storage and shuttling program. Apologies for the extensive safety screening - this
would not be necessary, had you dedicated to the incentivized cryogenic storage and shuttling program. We cannot trust any non-staff within the defensive perimeter established to secure our holdings.

The Gate, as you've probably noticed by now, is a bizarre region of space, if anything. Weirdness is commonplace here, to say the least. Forgetting things, people disappearing, all manner of anomalies. You've probably grown accustomed to the time compression of NanoTrasen
space, something like eight hours in two to four, and we still regret the failure of Bluespace in light of recent aberrant events which ushered the decline of its use - but these anomalies are a whole new game.

Our first taste of what the Gate had to offer was the failure of the Gateway program. We thought it was safe to try to lay some colonial ties and trappings, until the Engineers brought home... well, we don't talk about it. Report any suspicious activity to your supervisor, and you will remain safe.

To cope with the changing psychological condition experienced within the Gate, NanoTrasen has employed a number of counter-tactics. The arrivals shuttle was decided to not need a place within the actual station, and was docked abreast (which helps maintain the craft, with the frequent physical wear of rapid travel using the replacement technology for Bluespace) to make room for a psychotherapeutic green space wing of the station; other amenities are being established in this wing, and your suggestions are welcome. NanoTrasen is also employing more psychologists to handle the changing environs, and has remanded the former entertainers while vetting an alternative strain. Expect an employed general-purpose entertainer in the coming weeks or months.

Lastly, it bears keeping in mind the revised NanoTrasen policy on Cloning. In light of a recent upsurge in deaths in the Tau Ceti sector (ever intent on studying the mere byproduct shed by the Gate, what scientists now call "phoron") leading to a number of internal complications, we have lifted the ban on relating events of one's death and cloning in most cases. We now urge a tactful, situational approach to the ordeal, reminding all involved that one only truly loses the last three to five minutes of their memories and any further withholding of information is considered suspect.

Welcome to your station, and enjoy your service to NanoTrasen.
