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. The data we have is incomplete, but is enough to suggest we have encountered a gestalt being: gaseous in form, and adapted to dwelling in hyperspace. Project coordinators theorize that various parts of the cloud became 'snagged' on our capital starbases whilst it drifted through our galaxy. It appears to have wanted to reconstitute itself - but without a united effort on our part, some of those clouds have begun to lose cohesion, and may no longer be able to rejoin. Those parts of the cloud which did reunite soon vanished into hyperspace; what remains continues to provide researchers with interesting telemetry on matters relating to hyperspace.
