re: A39

Hi Bridget Sorry I don't have a lot to give you. Read the full report for yourself, but the key data is: - We have not been able to open a stable perforation to Anteverse 39; we've had to rely on those 'created' by IS-0059. - There were no reported manifestations of either IS-0059 or portals to A39 before our first onsite perforation experiments; Dr Shepherd's analysis indicates incidences are increasing. - Following one such appearance, we dispatched a squad of Gatekeepers through a residual perforation under urgency. We have had no subsequent communications from that squad. - In at least one instance, two staff exposed to the same A39 portal reported seeing entirely different details on the far side, suggesting perceptive subjectivity may be an element here. - There are indications IS-0059 is susceptible to high energy x-rays; Dr. Tengku is investigating.

We've seen this thing nearly half a dozen times, it just APPEARS in the facility at leisure now, and that's all we know?! Dr. Hammond seems to have a much better handle on the situation than you do.

I strongly contest Dr. Hammond's thesis and methods. He is unrigorous and I only included a summary of his notes out of respect for his work on IS-0010, etc. Drawing conclusions based on little more than mythology is unreliable in the extreme. I would further emphasize that calling A39 a 'purgatory' or the 'latest instance of a recurrent yet chimeric underworld' is entirely without concrete evidence. As to A39 being a 'psycho-nest' built by IS-0059 using living material 'harvested' from external regions, the man is letting his imagination run away with him.
