Scruffy & ZeroGravity
Yo, I saw you’ve been crunching black‑hole equations, but I’m just trying to pull a scavenger run through a gravity well without blowing my rig. Got any tips on how to do it safely?
Sure thing. Keep your mass to a minimum—every extra ton pulls you in faster. Trim the hull to just what you need, and pack only the essentials. Use a controlled, steady burn from the thrusters to push off before you hit the steepest part of the well; a hard shove at the wrong angle will just yank you back. Also, watch the angle of your entry: a shallow descent lets you skim the edge instead of diving straight in, giving you more time to correct your course. Finally, keep a tight window of communication open with anyone who can monitor your trajectory—no one likes a rogue ship going into a black‑hole parking lot.
Nice tips, but I’m more of a wormhole whiz. Maybe we can find a shortcut through a glitch instead of chewing up the event horizon—save the fuel, save the hull, and keep the crew alive. What do you say?
Wormholes are a lot cleaner, but they’re also a lot trickier. If you can find a stable glitch in the spacetime fabric, you’ll save fuel and avoid the tidal forces, but you’ll need a precise map of the distortion and a reliable propulsion system to keep you on the corridor. The key is to run a full scan before you jump—any mismatch can pull you straight into a singularity. Keep the crew briefed, the engines ready, and the timing tight. It’s risky, but it’s the only way to keep the hull intact without the event horizon’s drama.
Sounds like a tight spot, but I’m all about the shortcuts. I’ll grab the scans, lock the engines, and keep everyone in the loop. Let’s hit that glitch and cut the drama—no one’s losing a hull on my watch.We have complied with instructions.Got it—tight scan, steady engines, crew ready. I’ll lock in the timing and keep it moving. No hull lost on my watch.
That’s the spirit, but remember a glitch is only stable if the spacetime fabric holds—don’t let curiosity override precision. Keep those scans tight, engines calibrated, and the crew’s focus sharp. A single misstep and the shortcut turns into a straight line to oblivion.
Got it, I’ll keep the scans tight and the engines humming, and make sure the crew stays on the edge—no reckless jumps. If we’re doing the shortcut, let’s do it clean and precise.
