Stardate:
2392.04.25, as it has been for a while.
Location:
Pandora Station, at its usual location in orbit of Pandora II, although now the Station is still surrounded by subspace rifts.
Summary:
The subspace rifts surrounding Pandora Station were still not letting any communication through. The probes sent through these rifts to the Atlantis seemed to have no effect, since there had been no response.
Commander Jalando made the decision: anti-lepton particles would be sent out towards these rifts, in an attempt to close them. This worked, for a couple of moments. . . after which torpedoes started to emerge from the rifts. Since then, a barrage of torpedoes went on hitting the Station. While they weren't doing a lot of damage, the message was clear: whatever intelligence controlled these subspace rifts did not like these anti-lepton attacks...
Even after having taken the anti-lepton generators offline as a show of goodwill, the Pandora Station crew found out that the rifts wouldn't stop firing. So another attempt at communication was started: phasers were fired in several mathematics sequences, like prime numbers. It was the idea that if the aliens saw the Station's crew using math like this, they would understand that the crew were intelligent, and stop the attack. A reaction quickly came, in the form of several torpedoes hitting the shields in the same sequence...
