The Horizon Signal: THE WORM

As the … approaches the co-ordinates specified by the signal, it begins to report spatial distortions and curious lensing effects - a rich stream of valuable data. Then the transmission becomes distorted. What happens next is analyzed exhaustively. The excitement in Science Officer …'s voice tautens to fear as the ship's hull struggles under increasingly exotic conditions. The ship triggers a distress call. … cries out "the worm!" - or, perhaps, the Worm! Then all transmissions end. No trace of the … is ever found - no further transmissions, no debris, and the space at those co-ordinates is innocuous and utterly free of distortions. But the data they sent back has advanced our Physics research dramatically. Perhaps it was worth their lives.
