Colonel Telford comes on board with a team of scientist with plans to dial Earth from inside a star. Conflict arise when various crewmembers believe he is going too fast and too recklessly as Telford takes command.
Tropes
- Drama Queen – Rush doesn't just have the dialing fail, he has it fail with electrical discharges and ominous mechanical noises.
- Explosive Overclocking – the attempt to channel energy through a damaged conduit blows up spectacularly—-in Sergeant Riley's face, no less.
