The Imperator’s senior staff inspects the newly installed slipstream drive, assessing its unprecedented speed and the experimental Benamite crystal matrix that powers it. Dr. Hurtz outlines the drive’s capabilities and limitations, including required cool-down periods and the risk of overloading power systems, which could disable phasers during operation. Winters and McEntyre discuss redundancies and safeguards, while Remy emphasizes careful monitoring and preparation before departure.
