((Implying that we have FTL now?))

[Xantalos]

((If we do its extremely slow.))

[GreatWyrmGold]

((My money's on relativistic sublight.))

((The human mind is perfectly capable of comprehending spans of time past a few hundred years. Otherwise we wouldn't be having this conversation. WE WOULDN'T BE PLAYING THIS GAME. We haven't EXPERIENCED such spans of time, but we certainly have imagined it. There are by my estimates, A billion^1000000000 stories created by humanity that deal with that exact concept, the concept of billions or trillions of years, and those stories are typically where the ridiculous "YOU CANNOT COMPREHEND" bullshit comes from.

The concept of not being able to conceptualize the concept is a concept invented by humanity (specifically STEPHEN HAWKING).
CONCEPTCEPTION!


Also let it be known STEPHEN HAWKING supports all advancements in knowledge, and thus is against the genetic and tech bans))

((This is one of the drawbacks of playing a character like Lars.  He is so devout and trained to follow orders unquestioningly* that it makes participation in these sorts of things tricky.  Not to say I regret it- it just puts a limitation on things.))


*Also, int score permanently stuck at zero))

((Didn't he already invent everything?))

((But with a ban in place, he can't invent everything that can be invented!))

((Our FTL uses maniplulator tech and the mysterious Jump Points dotted around the universe. The Jump Points transport you across vast sections of realspace but they are entirely unreliable in WHEN you will arive. So you could enter one, and exit at the other end in a year. Or twenty years, or a few centuries, or not at all.))

((I could have sworn they were just relativistic speed tunnels of a sort, with the distance and time covered being a set thing, but maybe I was wrong.))

[Xantalos]

((Exactly! If we advance amp tech enough we could pull some sort of Mass Effect-style massless tunnel thing.))

((I think they have an average time delay, or at least are somewhat consistent in when they spit you out, but one of the closer comparisons would be the Warp from Warhammer 40k. The closest would be the wormholes or black holes, or whatever space holes there were in The Forever War, because if memory serves, that's what Piecewise based them on. Ah the things I can remember.))

((Huh. Don't we have a box that makes pills out of things? Can we stick a 'Jump Point' inside it?))

((Probably not. I think they're regions of distorted space-time, which can't really be placed inside a pill machine. Otherwise people would be going on space walks with the infernal contraption and creating accursed vacuum pills.))

((Hm. Have you tried sticking Steve in the pill machine? Or the Doctor?))

[Empiricist]

((Steve is nowhere near us and is suspected to have no central location. Trying to do such a thing to the Doctor is a very bad idea.))
