"We're ready to begin. Readying the Sub-Space Motivator, opening the Node, crossing the Sub-space threshold in 3.....2.....1.... contact maintained! It's .... it's ..... it's losing molecular composition. We have complete breakdown. ****! I thought we had it this time."
John Stanbenson, professor of Astrophysics at the Klonor Space Corps Academy, backed away from the console. With a violent shudder he knocks his papers off the desk, collapsing in a sobbing heap.
"John, don't worry. We'll get it. It'll just take some time."
That'd be George Smithey, the foremost man in the field of Sub-Space physics.
"A little more research, maybe 2 or 3 more drones, and I'm sure we'll suceed. Don't worry. In a year or two we'll look back at Jump-Node travel and laugh."
John, recovering a bit and holding back his sobs, angirly responds
"But it should have worked now! I don't care about 2 or 3 years in the future. We had everything figured out. It should have worked!"
"Should have, but didn't. Listen, the inter-system Sub-Space fabric just isn't strong enough. We need to strengthen it, or none of our calculations will be worth a damn thing."
"Fine, back to square one."
"How about we speed things up. We've been going in circles for months now. Why don't we bring in some new blood?"
"Who? Charles? Steve? Yashile? (All of them being other highly respected scientists) We've been over it before, they can't help."
"I was thinking more along the lines of somebody outside of Klonor. Lets transmit a request, see if any other scientists can help. Maybe some other nation can lend a hand."

OOC: Okay, as can probably be surmised, I'm looking for other nations to send scientists to help my scientists discover a way to commence Sub-Space travel without a Jump-Node. I'm doing this so that when I do spring a non-Jump-Node voyage I don't get all the "Godmod" yells that I usually do
