The DDS research ship SS Isometric has arrived at Dino-Land (crewed) for fitting with it's worm-drive. A DDS Engineering team has travelled on the ship and will fit the W1A drive themselves under supervision by the Dinos. Another DDS Engineering team will help the Dinos modify their missile launchers and combat systems for TPM-1 missiles (a much easier task than the worm-drives!)
A DDS Engineering spokesman said that integrating an alien piece of technology would be challenging but not impossible. "We have integrated alien technology such as Raegris 360 CIWS before, Open Architecture as used on DDS ships makes the process of integration easier."
Isometric will return to Solaris (under traditional power) before beginning a series of tests, including computer similations, unmanned worm-drive trips and culimating in some manned tests.
