Nothing's ever easy. We made it past the Recognizers on patrol, but there was a surge in the line to the MCP. No junctions close enough. Flynn managed to redirect the energy. It would've derezzed anyone else who tried it like that. I was skeptical of his claims of being a User, but that was impressive anyway.
Unfortunately, dealing with the surge delayed us. Sark took a different route in his command ship and caught up just as we were crossing out of the Sea.
