Slipping in and out of warp three times rapidly in a single minute, it was said, could create an intense emotional response in humans. There was a whole lot of scientific "evidence" to support the theory but no one had really debunked this particular myth. Lyn and Jon were prepared to do just that. As freelance galactic reporters they often researched and debunked myths about travel in space, different species or anything else that frightened humans. After all, their stories always sold copies because humans loved to be frightened and loved to laugh at others for being frightened.
Whatever the cause, they had researched the records, spoken with doctors and even talked to several experienced space travelers and found that there is really no basis for this particular myth. So here they were sitting in a rented Ford "Pterodactyl". This hot machine was the space travel equivalent of a convertible with a clear dome and an engine that could outrun most security forces. They strapped themselves in, turned on the cameras and recorders and prepared to debunk another myth. They only hoped they could make it exciting enough to sell copy.
Jon winked at the camera as he narrated the myth, what they were about to do and revved up the engines. The simulated noise of an engine filled the air. After all, in space there was not really any sound but for some reason humans would not buy a quiet engine in a speedster. So for this vehicle the dry sound of the computer saying "hyper drive preparation commencing" had been replaced with a revving sound recorded from an ancient engine called a V-9 or something like that, Jon did not remember his history all that well. He only knew that the sound meant they were about ready to go hyper drive.
He found himself getting a little nervous and excited even though he knew the myth was just a bunch of crap spewed about the galaxy to scare everyone. Still, he had heard it so often that deep inside him a part believed. He only hoped that belief would show in the cameras.
They were off. As they sped up to warp speed they felt the familiar tingle like a mild electric shack as they passed into the warp stream. The dizzying colors filled the canopy as the brakes were applied and they dropped back out of the stream then the tingle as they bumped in again. Jon could swear the second time was a little more intense feeling than the first; it had almost hurt.
