"Sorry, I was too absorbed just now... You're right, what we're seeing now are characteristics of the superluminal engine accumulating power.

"Captain, just observing won't help you solve this puzzle, you must propose a brand new theory. The chief has strictly proven that, with our current knowledge, this superluminal phenomenon cannot be explained. It's as baffling as magic..."
