Momentum

Jimmy just threw the lever for the warp drive generator. In any moment, he expects to jump out of his misery: the black hole attracting everything in its wake.

If only he knew what was going on underneath the thick metal plates of his engine room. Nondeterministic quantum particles are speeding through architectural labyrinths of the machines' inner workings, eventually reaching their goal: The warp drive's core matrix. The probability of a successful warp jump is well above 99.9%, but occasional accidents have been reported to happen. If a particle strays off it's path from the warp engine to the core matrix it is lost forever within the endless space of time, and the warp bubble would collapse, destroying the ship. To reduce this risk, a redundant amount of up to four particles are sent on their way. But only one can reach its goal, the others are lost forever. It is what you have been training for all your lifetime. Do not stray from the path!

Now go! It's the moment of your life!
