				<strong>Character:</strong> NPC Researchers<br><strong>Location:</strong> Research Station Orion, Human Colony "Perseus IV"<br><strong>Tagging:</strong> Any; open<br><hr>The colony on the small planet dubbed "Perseus IV" was established nearly twenty years ago.&nbsp; To date, it remained the farthest colony from Earth - a fact that drew a decent bit of tourism and influx of new colonists.&nbsp; The local government took pride in its own technological developments.&nbsp; Being positioned so close to the edge of the known universe allowed the research teams to reach out past that border to the unknown.<br><br>Their latest development did just that: the single most powerful Q-tube - quantum singularity "hyper-speed" engine.&nbsp; According to all the projections and claims of the developers, the new engine would allow humans to finally expand their horizons into a new section of the galaxy, one that just might reach beyond their own arm of the Milky Way.<br><br>The engine had been set up in one of the testing labs and was prepped for its first full test.&nbsp; Only the developers and scientists who worked on it - along with standard military protection - were allowed in the observation room.<br><br>"Reading green across the board," said the head developer.&nbsp; "Ready to fire this baby up."<br><br>"Initializing quantum engine," replied the head of the science department.<br><br>She pressed a button and a red light began flashing, alerting all personnel to stay clear of the testing lab.&nbsp; The engine, roughly the size of a small truck, began to hum.&nbsp; The humming grew louder, and a number of lights of lit up along the side and front of it.&nbsp; The engine vibrated lightly, powering up.&nbsp; In practical use, the engine would power up and open the quantum singularity in less than five minutes, but the test was designed to operate the engine slowly.&nbsp; The test would run through a gauntlet of clearance checks before actually ripping open a black hole into the testing lab.&nbsp; They needed to be absolutely certain they could contain and control the singularity.<br><br>"This is it, boys," the department head said.&nbsp; "This is what we've worked for."
