The trials ship SS Isometric has made it's first worm drive jump using the W1A worm drive fitted to it a few weeks ago. Isometric made the jump in unmanned mode, a Dino team assisting a joint team from DDS Engineering and DDS Research. Isometric will make a number of other unmanned jumps before the effort to man-rate the new technology begins. The worm drive will require fine tuning as the fields can have an effect on living creatures. Dino worm drives are not calibrated for humans and so the first few manned trips are expected to have plenty of projectile vomiting and nausea inflicted on the crew before it is perfected. Team Redjec are being lined up for these test trips.
Meanwhile it is thought the Dinos will begin deploying TPMs on selected Dinomarks from next week.
