OPERATION STALLING DOWN

November 25- 27 2005

Issued @ 16:00hrs on 25/11/2005

Operation Stalling Down is following the same pattern as per CON-55 Operation Eddington, 07-09/10/2005, in that we have detected a significantly larger number of Gate activations for this operation, compared to that of the previous, a total of 1,609, as opposed to the 1,327 of CON-55. This is by far the largest number of signals detected in any of the preceding normal 48 hour cycles. This inconsistency with the wave pattern previously seen (pre CON-39), where in the number of activations from one cycle to another have oscillated between a moderately low figure and a steadily increasing one, but with a very large differential. This no longer appears to be an aberration, being indicative of an additional change in Gate behavior as seen over the last four operations. However, we at Gatewatch, are becoming increasingly convinced that most of these "signals" are harmonics, that is ghost images of otherwise normal signals. Since the actual number of usable Gates has remained roughly consistent, with only small increases in numbers, the evidence is that something else is in fact going on. US studies, have detected an increase in the gravitational fields within wormholes, the source and consequences of which are still under review. Taking in to account the scale of the network (inter-galactic rather than inter-stellar), which has rendered the "Star Gazer" mapping apparatus essentially redundant, together with the theoretical break through made by British scientists in the February of this year, concerning the higher dimensional nature, and consequential perceived structure of the Star Gate system, a radically new approach to mapping will be deployed at all three surviving SG bases for CON-56.

The effective activations for CON-56 cover the period 25/11/05 (23:56)-27/11/05 (13:53). Of these only 25 are actually viable. All of which have been designated as Pathfinder missions, with the exception of two (VXC057A aka "The Abridge Complex").

During CON-55, UK, US and Russian crews suffered a number of serious casualties due to extremely rough and unpredictable in-flight experiences. There is every reason to expect similar conditions during CON-56, due to the high frequency and very strong amplitude of the Gate's signal spikes. The Gates are continuing to display variable Flight Times, as seen at CON-53 and CON-55, that is the outbound and inbound Flight Times do not match. Previously this seemed to have little if any effect upon crews executing jumps, however this may not be so during CON-56. As before great caution and firm flight discipline is essential to prevent injuries, damage or loss of personnel and or equipment during this operation.

Gatewatch 50, 52 and 54 are in the present operational cycle, all reporting a similar level of activity, with very few useful, yet incredibly strong well resolved signal spikes. There is still no data from Stargate-53 for comparison at this time. The French government has, for the moment, suspended all attempts at re-activating BASE-53, and are instead dispatching personnel to either the UK, USA or Russian facilities to continue their service under these Commands.

No further data is expected from the PRC's UNSGC elements at this time. The PRC's negotiations with Japan and Russia re its future contribution to the CONTACT program continues. However, in the meantime the PRC are following the French lead, in that their surviving personnel are being assigned abroad, so far only to SITE-54 in the Russian Federation at this time. We will keep you apprised as the situation develops.

Following on from CON-53 where there was a 17% increase in the mass of ABC extracted from off-world combat equipment (NBC suits, respirator filters etc), there has been a further increase to an aggregate total of +35% . Although this currently remains within the safety limitations, post the precautionary upgrade undertaken at all bases prior to CON-55. However, as a precaution CON-56 will be subject to Extreme ABC Protection Protocols (normally only used when the Gate Room detectors register dangerous levels of ABC in the atmosphere). Additional NBC suits and filters will be provided at that time. Thus it will be necessary for all exterior gear to be removed for decontamination to ensure personnel safety. If a similar increase is detected during CON-56, this would exceed even the upgrades capability. As such data can only be procured post operationally it has been decided that CON-56 will conclude with a mandatory "lock down" pending a full medical and equipment inspection/decontamination at each operational facility, as per CON-55. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your co-operation in maintaining bio-security.

* Gates with varrying in/outbound flight times.
**From this point onwards crews were flying blind, with no means of determining if the previously issued Gatewatch Report's data was still valid. In light of requests from AREA-52 for SAR missions to be conducted for their mission members trapped off-world, due to the SG-52 iris being jammed, the S3 authorised "VOLUNTEER ONLY" SG teams to be assembled and launched for the purpose.
