Pilot Tillot (still grieving over the recent loss of Valerie—yes, the car accident was
quite likely his fault) and inventor Abbotsford set out to test the first FTL engine, which
turns out to not move so quickly in space after all, although it does make some interesting
moves in time.
I’ve seen this listed as a retrofitted alternate timeline story in
Chandler’s Rim World series, but I haven’t read enough of that series to know where the
FTL time machine would fit in. Stay tuned for updates.
