A protective shield has been placed around the Earth to prevent any alien meddling. For now, all travel must go via the stargates, which are handled by the federation and the lyrans. A grey research team alone has been given an entry permit which allows them to bypass the shield.
Gensokyo and the 3 Coven faction leaders all have a control module as well.
This measure has been put in place to cut off any lingering karmic bonds which allowed for said alien meddlers to "fake incarnate" as demi-god elites using a form of spiritual induction where they can live as Earthlings while not actually living by the same rules as everyone else. From now on there will not be double standards anymore.
