The mechanism for interstellar travel is known to be contained in the diamond-shaped box that is located under the center keel of 3-man and 5-man ships, and in the sanitary facilities of the 1-man ships. No one has successfully opened one of those containers. Each attempt has resulted in explosion of approximately 1-kiloton force. A major research project is attempting to penetrate this box without destroying it, and if you as a limited partner have any information or suggestions in this connection you should contact a Corporation officer at once.

However, under no circumstances should you attempt to open the box yourself! Tampering with it in any way or docking a vessel on which the box is tampered with is strictly forbidden. The penalty is forfeiture of all rights and immediate expulsion from Gateway.

The course-directing equipment also poses a potential danger. Under no circumstances should you attempt to change your setting once in flight. No vessel in which this has been done has ever returned.
