" Warning, warning, insufficient space to spawn next wave," Echo's automated voice announced, alerting the gateway's operators.
" Gateway-3421 has imploded due to insufficient space to spawn next wave, verified," Echo's voice announced, as the AI itself went into a state of dormancy, awaiting further instructions. " Warning, warning, insufficient space to spawn next
In the aftermath of the disaster, a team of investigators was dispatched to analyze the cause of the implosion. Their report would later state: "The gateway imploded because there was not enough space to spawn the next wave, verified. This was a preventable error, and recommendations have been made to ensure that such an incident never occurs again." Their report would later state: "The gateway imploded
The incident was a major setback for the Galactic Gateway Initiative, but it provided valuable lessons for the engineers and scientists working on the project. They vowed to never again underestimate the importance of adequate spacing in the operation of the gateways. In the year 2256, humanity had colonized several
In the year 2256, humanity had colonized several planets across the galaxy, and interstellar travel had become routine. The United Earth Government had established a program to facilitate the transportation of people and goods between galaxies. The program, known as the Galactic Gateway Initiative, had developed a network of stable wormholes, or "gateways," that connected different galaxies.
The gateway's structure began to destabilize, and a massive explosion rocked the surrounding space. Debris was scattered across millions of kilometers, and the shockwave was felt throughout the galaxy.
