Description (Specifications)

Reality Drive. Based on Reality Manipulation. The drive constantly revises reality so the ship is slightly over that way closer to the destination. If it collides with a world, or obstruction, it revises reality to that didn't happen. There's a whole set of rules governing it so it doesn't get out of hand.

History & Background (Dossier)

Reality Manipulation TL-27. The ability to edit reality, primarily through redos: limited retrospective changes to past events to alter their effects on the present.

• The Reality Drive is TL-28.

Expected Reality Manipulation Development Sequence

MACRO LEVEL:

• Reality Manipulation Technology (TL:25-27) → Reality Engineering Technology (TL:28-30) → Reality Mastery Technology (TL:31-33)
