skonen_bladesIt’s not enough.
I’ve gone over the calculation sixteen times now looking for some sort of hope or forgotten integer. It keeps working out the same.
We have six ships and fuel enough for four. Three thousand of us are not going to make the jump. Every ship is filled with no room to spare. It’s horrible. We have enough supplies for food to last for years. We have everything except enough trimantium to make the jump for all of us.
In a few moments, I’m going to have to break the news to the people in charge. Thank god I don’t have to break the news to the entire ship’s net.
The ships that are left behind are going to have the make the trip sub light. It will take 127 years. They will arrive at the colony two generations older. Who knows what the colony itself will be like then?
A lot of goodbyes are going to be said soon.
