This move galled the governments of earth (who naturally wanted to control such a technology for thier own purposes). However, with so many players on the field, it was impossible for any government to gain enough influence to halt the liscencing process or the development process of FTL. The genie was out of the bottle.The first group to actually put together a manned mission to Alpha Centauri is as yet unitentified. The crew of this mission is also unidentified. The current status of the mission and it's crew are unknown. The current public opinion is that the entire project has been a giant waste of time and money. Billions of dollars spent, no accountability, worsening relations between Terrans and Martians, and now, missions to other worlds that "magically vanish"? To say that this is all too much is an understatement....."Ingall, how the hell did this happen? According to our instruments, we are about 75000 light years from Earth.""I have no idea, Sir. It shouldn't be possible. According to the briefing Dr. Nagami gave us, as well as information from the other scientists and engineers at the company, we should not have the energy available to have gotten here.""And where is here?""I have no idea, Sir. You know what I know. I'll keep running the numbers and try to find out what occured.""Uh, Sir.... you had better look at this""What is it Reece?""Sir, it looks like we have company.""Oh my god... what is that?"Blackout.....</blockquote>
