We have retrieved the first 4 log entries from Hollis Gateway. The base is completely abandoned, no power, no life signs. This looks to be one of the INRA Research facilities I've heard so much about.
From the audio logs we retrieved, it appears that the original mission here was to research Thargoid technology in forms of biological material and space craft samples. Upon further analysis of the audio logs, it appears that one of the Junior Scientists has found a way to make the Thargoid samples inactive. According to the scientist in charge, their employers became very interested in this, and this particular experiment was actually a side experiment, one that was not actually planned.
I believe what we have heard here was the beginning of the Aegis program for Anti-Thargoid weapons. While it's too early to speculate this to be fact, it is a theory that both my first officer and I share. We will continue to the next site and report what we find. If anyone reads this, watch your back. I presume this is somewhat related to the logs we retrieved from the Survey Vessel Victoria's Song, and if so, the Federation will stop at nothing to cover up this information.
