Full dimensional analysis of compounded extrusion provides unpredicted result. The specific configuration of this further encroachment now delineates a larger, triplex subplenum which would, given purposeful admixture of a 4th six-vector grouping, comprise a cohesive and easily buffered quadrum. Such supramorphic oddities may by manipulation be partially detached from the overall continuum, the domain of dissociation itself pursuing chronal progression such that protective isolation of the augmented sub-plena remains always congruent to current nowtime. Importantly, however, contiguous wholeness with the greater continuum prevails both before and behind, in duration achieved as well as in that which ever approaches.
Analyses of interchronal relationships indicate that within the sub-plena considered for manipulation the major available alternative chronal-prime vector, with reference to greater expedition of spatial translation for its volitionals, is of a curvature such as to encourage reverse chronal progressions overriding normal damping effects, with disruptive repercussions throughout the all-continuum.
Thus, efforts toward further communication with and greater understanding of such volitionals are deemed to possess negative desirability. Accordingly, dimensional adjustment as stipulated is essayed and completed.

Mounted onto carts and drawing ship's power, the hastily jury-rigged yaw thrusters from the DM's spares looked to Ben like a bad day at beginners' welding class. Nonetheless their carefully mismatched phasings produced a maximum time-juke ratio of approximately 25,000. After seven hours of exposure and barely short of the UN committee's deadline, the first Ass disgorged its load of brigands to the custody of a tactical platoon. Not long after, the committee's ultimatum was withdrawn. The rest of the cleanup, said Pip Angelo, was just a matter of time. If he noticed his own pun, he didn't let on.397Please respect copyright.PENANA5Q9APla5bU

Wisdom of decision is affirmed when during process of manipulative dissociation a significant strand of the augmented sub-plenum's chronal-prime vector inexplicably undergoes violent compaction at point of now, recurrent of greater and more alarming phenomenon in duration long achieved. Dissociative process concludes with no further harm resulting. Loss of access to prime subject volitional, however, precluding more intensive observings, elicits isolated expression of dissentive regret.397Please respect copyright.PENANAzhAdJFA2r3

With plenty of time for goodbye parties, downside business, and just plain sightseeing, all of it somehow shoehorned between training sessions, Infinity left orbit on sked. Seven months out, under the gentler accel its bulk needed, the great ship passed the speed of light. By now its ingestor field was producing beautifully, but at the moment c was reached, its fuel and supplies outgatings quit cold.
Surprise! No data existed on the matter; in those respect the Gror'iel Environ was self-contained. Even so, after it'd left Earth and again passed lightspeed, persons and materials had continued to C-Gate freely to and from that construct. Clearly, the Gror'iel vessel embodied parameters unknown to the builders of Infinity, to say nothing of Benjamin L. Sisko.
So, as he reported to Bolt Park after dropping below c, until someone figured out how the aliens managed that trick, the needs of supply and communication limited Infinity to sublight speeds. Except, now and then, for trial runs.397Please respect copyright.PENANAldSWdrlNgW

Much like herself and Skip, Jacqueline thought. The day Infinity hit c, her bio-age reached 16; somehow s he couldn't resist the idea of their celebrating the coincidence.
Since joining Infinity's crew Skip had changed, and was still changing. Oh, he still enjoyed making bravura gestures, but under Ben Sisko's impartial eye and thumb he took that enjoyment after his responsibilities were taken care of. "I liked you before," she told him; "you know that. But when it came to folks depending on you...."
"You could always trust me, couldn't you?"
"Yes." That much was true. At Alves's house, without even thinking, he'd put her safety before his own. "But now the ship can, too."
After a moment, he answered. "I think I see what you mean!"397Please respect copyright.PENANApidY0QkUuI

Following that rather joyous incident they went on meeting, on special occasions only, for lovemaking. It wasn't always easy to find a special occasion, but motivation helped.397Please respect copyright.PENANAvEhvQjOtCQ
Early on she told Ben, Marlena, and J.M. Well, mostly; somehow she didn't get around to mention that such relationships had first occurred, once only, on Arrowprize, before the C-Gating back to Earth.397Please respect copyright.PENANAHZerV303zY
Ben surprised her; after an initial protest he thought it over and decided he approved more than not. "I'll be taking a more personal interest in the young man's training program; you can be sure of that."397Please respect copyright.PENANAzIjIQzGx6V
So he, too, had come to realize this was permanent. Good. "When he moves in," Jacqueline said, "that should simplify a lot of things."397Please respect copyright.PENANAuUbm4lXWiY
"Moves in? Not by a long shot!"397Please respect copyright.PENANAPrfZ0k72Zp
"Why shouldn't they?" said Marlena. "I don't see..."397Please respect copyright.PENANAkWBnQZAa4d
"When she hits eighteen, bio," Ben insisted, "and not until." No matter what Jacqueline said, keeping voice and words temperate because she and Ben had never had a real fight and she wasn't going to start now, that's where he stuck.397Please respect copyright.PENANA8pOrbgNLob
