"Was?" Admiral Hood said confused. "What do you mean was?"

"The jump drive this ship has is extremely experimental and designed for this ship only." Grant replied.

"It must be triggered at a certain moment in time and not a second more or less. Seeing as we're here grant must have triggered it one point one six two seconds too late. Sending us through a wormhole to here" Lilly added.

"So you're telling us that your slipspace drive is malfunctioning." Chief said suddenly.

"Negative. . . Sir. We do not enter slipspace but instead..... I don't know exactly how to explain this so that everyone can understand. Think of space as a series of valleys lined up side by side with a road twisting and turning up and down the sides to get across them. On the surface of a Planet that could take a couple hours to traverse. Engineers devised a way of cutting that time down to minutes by digging tunnels and building bridges to make a flat level road. That is what the warp drive does. It passes through those valleys in a straight line, cutting the time from days or years to seconds." Lilly replied instantly. "And it is not malfunctioning. Grant and I both made a very small miscalculation that had a large consequence"

Chief simply nods as Admiral Hood looks surprised.

"How did you gain this technology may I ask?" He queried.

"It was gifted to us by a race that doesn't exist in this dimension. The Iscandarians."
Grant replied before Lilly could give another lecture.
"And before you ask no I will not give you anything to aid you in constructing something like this."

Admiral Hood's face turned beet red.
"YOU WILL CO-OPERATE AND YOU WILL HAND OVER THI-"
Chief covered Admiral Hood's mouth to shut him up.
"Admiral you cannot force them to hand over this ship. And I for one think that it is for the best that we cannot build them ourselves."
