The Dismembered Cloud

The results of our findings have been collated: it would seem that every instance of barely-sentient aurora cloud at our federation's capitals was, in fact, part of a single, living entity. As best the researchers can tell: this hyperspace-dwelling entity drifted into our federation space by accident, whereupon it became 'snagged' on our busiest, spaceborne communications relays - those which serve our capital starbases. Researchers agree that the gaseous entity was attempting to reconstitute itself - a task it could otherwise not achieve in such a fragmented state. After it reformed, the cloud disappeared back into hyperspace - but not before visiting a number of our alliance's research stations. At each one, it performed a number of precise movements in and out of hyperspace - a display which some witnesses describe as resembling a dance. These demonstrations of the cloud's innate ability to traverse the hyperspace barrier have provided us all with invaluable data.
