13 S-57 (Slingshot #1)

I am very glad that the guardian squad will be making the rest of the journey escorting us. Since the true nature of our mission has been revealed, we are expecting more trouble ahead.

We are currently approaching black hole S-57. This is the first black hole that we will use to accelerate our travel velocity in our journey to the Vega system.

Navigator Jake tells me that S-57 will allow us to travel a distance of 3 light years in just about 5 minutes.

Once again, this humble historian is not technical enough to understand how the slingshot acceleration procedure works. So I simply call it  magic.

Learning more about the concept of time/space bending near black holes is one of the things on my list.
