After several days of flight, the Deep Space gradually moved further away from Nyx.
"Captain, the spacecraft is currently 3.7 million kilometers from Nyx. The local space curvature is at 2.7, meeting the operating conditions for the Curvature Engine! Awaiting your orders!"
"Activate the Curvature Engine!" Jason ordered in a deep voice.
"Captain's order: Activate the Curvature Engine!"
Following the command, the main ion engines gradually powered down, and the auxiliary Curvature Engine hummed to life.
A thin Warp Bubble materialized around the Deep Space, enveloping the massive vessel like a translucent film of soap.
From an outside perspective, the Deep Space appeared to be accelerating at an impossible rate.
However, this extreme "acceleration" exerted no physical G-force on the spacecraft, nor did it actually increase its kinetic energy. Instead, the ship was moving by physically compressing and riding the space around it.
