If Seraphine is to get around the biggest logistical problem we have - Travelling into and between houses easily, We need to have Sera fitted for a jump drive. As such, I've had to do indepth research into what a Jump drive really is. Honya was able to explain it to me.
A jump drive in the most common sense is a device that utilizes three of the several major schools of quantum mechanics - Quantum entanglement, quantum tunneling and quantum teleportation - to travel hyper-luminally outside of Einsteinian; or in layman's terms - normal space - even possibly passing through other universes in the multiverse whilst doing so. As part of the space time continuum, matter in any universe can, when broken down into the most basic material, be moved to other distant locations through quantum tunneling. Quantum entanglement is done to ensure that the matter is tunneled through space time to its' destination, as quantum entanglement maintains a close connection betwixt similar atoms - say for instance, Hanamura-sensei's body, or her clothes. They are not only close together, but they're made of similar materiel, and in turn, similar atomic structures. When a Jump Drive charges, the drive, when given coordinates or when using the emergency randomized jump system, will begin charging all atoms in its' range (usually within the shield bubble of a ship, outside of fleet jump drives, which have a extended range of around 0.3~ Sirian Units.) with data pertaining to its' 'anchor' particles at the destination, where in space they're located, their contents, structure, density, so on and so forth. Once the charge is complete and the drive is initialized, it will begin rapidly further charging the particles in range to the point where they instantaneously break apart at the time of jump, and then teleported to their destination through quantum tunneling and teleportation. Since this is instantaneous due to various factors we're not too knowledgeable about yet - there is no known conscious or physical death of any lifeforms or damage to electrical components be they quantum or conventional as a result of the jump. As far as we're aware - the jump drives are completely safe - unless the ERJS is being used for exploration, where there is a heavy chance of being teleported into either atmosphere, a sun's corona, a sun, or a black hole.
It's amazing, really. I've honestly somewhat envied that lunatic, Brooks and her goons at THP. Personally, if I were wanting to go the way of Kyle, I wouldn't mind hijacking one of their Bustards and ripping the Jump Drive off of it. However, I feel it would be best to buy one off the black market. Maybe Invergordon has a place I can buy one for. I've heard they're really pricey, as expensive as Sera was when I paid for her originally, But I'm certain it'll be worth it.
The project is going slow, but Alexei is doing surveys of the ship for anything that should be fixed before we go ahead with the refit.
