What can only be described as a dimensional portal has been discovered in a remote location on [colony name]. Weather prediction algorithms noticed a strange air current, which was eventually determined to be caused by the slight leakage of atmosphere into the portal. The rate of loss is far too small for it to make any difference to life on [colony name], but the very existence of this portal raises some disturbing questions, such as where does it lead to, and could something come through the portal from the other side?
The Portal seemed to react in some way to the thoughts of nearby observers, some more than others. Through a process of elimination it was possible to find a large number of people who were especially potent at influencing the Portal, and together they were able to effectively will the Portal to close. The experience was enlightening and provides strong evidence that it is possible to harness and direct belief in tangible ways.
The Portal proved to be sensitive to Psionic powers. By collecting a number of Psionically powerful individuals together, they were able to effectively create a Psionic barrier around the portal, preventing any access. The experience was enlightening and provides strong evidence that it is possible to form solid barriers from Psionic energy.
Event chains

The Doorway is a colony event chain that has a very small chance to trigger 2 or 3 years after any colony has been founded. It offers 3 mutually exclusive paths determined at random.
