Maybe there's something wrong with it. Maybe it's doing what it's supposed to do. I don't know that we can say exactly what's happening with the Ingress when we don't know much about it to begin with. Or why this ship has one-- I'd offer to ask the captains, but given they found the ship abandoned, who knows for sure?

I suppose we could try to turn it off or take it apart... but I wouldn't recommend it. Without the schematics, without knowing what we're actually doing, we could create a similar situation to what happened on Caducus Primary. Their Ingress was damaged and the planet... was split in half from the resulting release of energy.
