Keeper Rebecca has negotiated passage for all of us to travel with the Eldron. However, it is not as if the Eldron are going out of their way. Fortunately, we found out that this large merchant ship is also headed for the Novus System. Serendipitously, the Eldron ship is going to planet Techtron, which is not far from planet Havoc, our intended destination.
The best news of all was very surprising to me. It turns out that the massive Eldron ship will be able to travel to the Novus system ten times faster than our drone vessel. I don't quite understand this last technical bit, but everyone seems to agree that this is how it is.
Commander Sarah tried to explain to me at some length that the Eldron ship uses the same slingshot procedures near the black holes that our drone vessel uses. However, since their ship is one hundred times more massive than ours, then the time/space compression coefficient for the Eldron ship turns out to be exactly ten times higher than that of our drone. Simply put, we will get to the Novus System ten times faster by hitching a ride inside the Eldron ship.
Well, that is easy for commander Sarah to say, but not so easy for me to understand.
Being a humble historian, I just can't wrap my mind around these technical details. So I simply nod my head.
