Subject: Technical Report: Space Station Incident - Event Log #42637-Gamma

Date: May 15th, 2985

From: Dr. Eileen McLaughlin, Chief Engineer

To: Central Astronaut Command

Reporting Officer: Dr. Eileen McLaughlin

On May 15th, during a standard inspection of the Gamma module, a catastrophic event occurred when a wormhole materialized nearby. Tragically, Lieutenant John "Jack" Wilson, Ensn Alex "Al" Martinez, and Cadet Lisa "Lisa" Johnson lost their lives as a result of this calamity. This report delves into the chain of events that led to this disaster and the measures taken afterward to alleviate its consequences.

Context:

During routine maintenance checks on the Gamma module, Lieutenant Wilson and Ensign Martinez were conducting a diagnostic examination of the hyperdrive mechanism when an abrupt and bizarre anomaly surfaced in close proximity to the hyperdrive core.

Unfortunate Event Sequence:

At precisely 10:34 local time, an aberrant phenomenon manifested in the vicinity of the hyperdrive core. Upon approaching to scrutinize the anomaly, Lieutenant Wilson found himself confronted with a rapidly expanding wormhole that emitted a dazzling burst of light and an ear-splitting shriek. Ensign Martinez endeavored to power down the hyperdrive, only to discover that the controls had ceased functioning, impeding his ability to do so. Simultaneously, Cadet Johnson was subjected to an unseen force that hurled her against the wall, rendering her unconscious.

Calamitous Results:

Upon the emergence of the wormhole, a multitude of demonic entities emerged, wreaking havoc among the crew. Lieutenant Wilson momentarily evaded capture but succumbed to the demons' relentless assault upon attempting to rescue Ensign Martinez. Despite exhibiting immense bravery, Ensign Martinez eventually succumbed to the diabolical forces. Cadet Johnson remained in a state of unconsciousness until the conclusion of the incident.

Property Damage Evaluation & Monetary Implications:

The hyperdrive mechanism sustained significant damage, necessitating its complete replacement. Furthermore, the wormhole inflicted extensive devastation throughout the Gamma module, leaving a path of scorched circuits and mangled metal debris in its wake. The overall expense of repairs is projected to amount to $10 million, substantially impairing our operational capacity.

Operational Shortcomings & Systemic Malfunctions:

Initial investigations suggest that the hyperdrive system was being operated outside of its designated safety parameters, possibly exacerbating the instability that precipitated the wormhole's creation. Additionally, the crew's response time was severely compromised by the overwhelming number of demonic entities, exposing a glaring lack of preparation for encounters with supernatural adversaries.

Parting Words:

Cadet Johnson's final communication consisted of a frantic plea for assistance, indicative of extreme distress and terror. Lieutenant Wilson's concluding utterance was a resolute, "I'm coming back for you, Al!" before the line went silent. Ensign Martinez's final words, spoken moments prior to engaging the demons, were a stoic, "Bring it on."

Conclusion:

This debacle underscores the urgent necessity for enhanced training programs aimed at addressing extraterrestrial occurrences, particularly those of a supernatural nature. Our technological infrastructure must be revamped to accommodate unforeseen scenarios such as wormholes, and contingency plans should be developed for instances of interdimensional intrusion. To pay homage to Lieutenant Wilson, Ensign Martinez, and Cadet Johnson, we shall bolster our preparedness for the unpredictable.

Recommendations:

We advise the establishment of a specialized research unit devoted to investigating dimensional rifts and other inexplicable phenomena. Furthermore, we recommend arming all personnel with advanced anti-demon weaponry and implementing a tailored combat training regimen for astronauts. Lastly, we strongly encourage the incorporation of containment fields around crucial systems to thwart potential invasions in the future.
