The Null Fold

In Rome's Revolution, OMCOM was able to communicate with Rei and Rome over a tremendous distance using what OMCOM called null-fold relays.

The null fold is taking the Casmir Effect and applying it to negative energy splitting it into "real" and "imaginary" negative energy. It boggles the mind. Anyway, "real" negative energy allows you to fold space geometrically, similar to a PPT tunnel which only lets you travel great distances algebraically.

In The Ark Lords we saw MINIMCOM utilize a null-fold star-drive to increase his effective velocity to 15,000 times the speed of light. This reduced the trip to Tabit from 7 days to 11 hours.

OMCOM also uses null-fold relays to communicate from Tabit to Deucado in real-time.

In the new book, Rome's Evolution, MINIMCOM finds new uses for the null-fold including stimulating neural growth allowing for regeneration of nerves that had previously been severed. He also uses the null-fold to activate PPT Transceivers that had been deactivated. The Vuduri had always assumed this was impossible. In theory, such a technique would allow Rome to reconnect to the Overmind of Earth, even though she had been Cesdiud on Tabit.

Imagine the possibilities!
