*snickers* Thanks for the ISD.

Or did you want it back? ;)

lol..

That'd be quite a trick seeing you are 1 500 000 kilometers away from my ship by the time I cross the event horizon. We'd be out of sensor range maybe?


Besides, you had the only escape-worthy route from our unseen enemies. Unless you are saying we were set up by you.

hmm....

;)

BTW, doesn't it take two posts to escape?

Eh, the wormhole would only go to one spot, and that be where the entire BDE fleet from Vladet would be exiting, so regardless, youd meet the party down the road.

But presumably, the BDE fleet would only take the wormhole a short distance before dropping back to realspace and continuing under their own power.

By what logic would you presume that?

If you had a wormhole to anywhere, would you hop short distances and do it the hard way?

If I was relying on alien technology, yes.

We have reversed engineered it and build them on a semi regular basis. Not really so alien anymore...

That is true Heir. If you exited and then decided to just wait then, yes, eventually the Victory would exit as well.

But that is assuming you know my ship is in the wormhole to begin with (IC, I mean).

BTW: I was wrong on my earlier distance estimate... I forgot your fleet is travelling at 15x lightspeed which would put your fleet at a minimum of
22 500 000 kilometers away by the time the Victory even crosses the event horizon.


However, your statement also assumes a ship in the wormhole would not be able to simply cross the wormhole wall threshold... thus taking the vessel out of the 15x forces propelling it forward and depositing it into space whereever.


In any event, the trip could conceivably last for several hours if not a day or two depending on just how far the BDE wormhole is taking their fleet and depending if the Victory remains in the wormhole the entire time.
