1) We don't know that it's a hypergate at all - we just surmised that it 
might be. 2) As for my gates not checking if no one is near it, well, 
that never occurred to me, to be honest. Wouldn't that require an active 
scanner of some sort that would chew up CPU, constantly looking for 
someone nearby? If so, then a simple blind check, once an hour, would be 
less costly, yes? If not, then perhaps it's something I should consider 
adding to mine.
