Transcript

NARRATOR: Aboard the support vessel Maxim 39...

KEVYN: How do you plan to stop those things on the station?

PUTZHO: By patching in. My deployment module will arrive shortly.

KEVYNHow shortly?

PUTZHO: The module has already passed your position. It's on a high-energy trajectory, accelerating almost all the way in.

ENNESBY: Ooh! Reinforced teraport cage?

PUTZHO: Close! The cage travels flat. It only gets big and fragile at the destination.

KEVYN: You're tuning it to the transmitter on-the-fly?

PUTZHOAuto-tuning.

It's quantum entangled with the micronodes in the virtual transmitter's cloud.

KEVYN: "Virtual..."

KEVYN: Okay, that is not engineering.

It's buzz-word salad.

PUTZHO: Captain Foxworthy, you and I are going to have so much fun.
