			To be made useful, anomalies need to have their affinities discovered. The science lab can be used to trigger certain affinities, but it will trigger if you have the affinity yourself. Once they have been discovered they can be researched for points, be sold for more, or can be crafted into artifacts that someone with the correct affinities can use.

			Some artifacts will come in a usable form by default, such as rings that can be worn on the hand. These may have dangerous effects when equipped, for example soul binding from an Anima anomaly.

			For more information about anomalies, see [[user:PowerfulBacon/Anomalies]]

			Artifacts often come with anomalies, or may contain anomalies in themselves. These can be dangerous environmental hazards that you want to watch out for. A common anomaly is the Gravitas. It can be identified by its distortion effect and will throw items around, force players into the ground and trap mobs. Getting caught in it may delimb you.

			Anomalies work based on a system called 'affinities'. To activate an anomalies power, you need the affinity. There are 6 affinities and you have a a 20% chance to have each and everyone one (which means you can get 0, or get multiple).

			The affinities are related to the effects and are as follows:
			* Force
			* Radiance
			* Anima
			* Psionic
			* Entropy
			* Space

	=== Mining ===		=== Mining ===

			All gateway missions take place in facilities underground. Most of the time you will be able to mine the walls to collect materials.

			It is important to note that ore generates in clusters, rather than spread out. You may need to explore the gateway to find rich deposits of ores.

			Once you have filled a box full of ore, you can send it back to the station. The ore-box fulton cannot be used on players, but can send your mined resources back without needing you to return to the station yourself.

	== Mission ==		== Mission ==

			The data has been analyzed, you have configured your suit to survive the threats and you are ready to go. It is time to complete your duties...

			One thing to note about missions, is that they get more dangerous the longer you are in them. After an infinite number of time, things will always become too chaotic so you always need to be prepared for extraction and keep up good communication.

			The radios you are equipped with are capable of talking to everyone in the gateway, but only personnel with specialised long-ranged radios can talk to the control room on the station (and vice-versa). This is important, because the control room has a computer which can detect the location of artifacts which are in proximity to any personnel inside the gateway.

If money isn't your thing, artifacts can also provide a great deal of power to the wielder; if you have the right affinities. Affinities are different per-character so you might find some artifacts that give you magic-like powers, or you might find someone that is willing to take it off your hands.

	You need to be sneaky though, all of the equipment rooms are secured via an airlock-like system where you cannot enter while the door to the gateway is open. In addition to this, security is authorised to search anybody coming out of the gateway for any stolen goods (though they don't always have the time or capacity to do so). If you want to go down this route, you need to find a way to hide items during a search or act at a time when you know security will be slacking off.
