• That Time THE VEETANS Defeated the Tesskans FOREVER!
• written by ryan north

• 7/15

• Kari: Someone outside La Familia got the ship to work? With that knowledge out, anyone could--
• Nat: No, it's not that. The ship was busted. Didn't work.
• Kari: You said it was gone. That's what the Drive does, Nat.
• Nat: Okay, but-- how do Drive ships work? I mean, like, generally.
• Kari: Everyone knows the basics! It's how it gets done that's the problem. How did they--
• Nat: So tell me the basics!
• Kari: ...
• Kari: Same metaphor we all got in school. Space is a tablecloth, the ship's an ant on top...
• Kari: ... and the Drive bunches up the cloth in the middle. Any at that walks a little way across the bunches...
• Kari: ... finds that it's equivalent to a long way when the tablecloth's smoothed out again.
• Nat: Exactly. Exactly!
  Now what if the Drive was still damaged but, it turns out, not completely broken? What if you had a non-propulsive' Drive, still folding space, but stuck in neutral?
• Kari: ... You're not travelling anywhere, but... you're still outside normal spacetime? You'd be invisible, right? Untouchable.
  Invincible.
