There were a few common ways of exceeding the universal speed limit of light for space travel. Some vessels would slip between parallel dimensions where the relative distance between the start and end points was lessened, effect a bubble around themselves where physical laws were ever so slightly altered or use what amounted to a very refined albeit limited manner of teleportation.

The Furion philosophy toward the issue was simply to push very, very hard.

"You will want to be seated for this," Redbird's voice came from the ship's control, a cushioned crash seat rising from the floor where Midnight was standing with his arms crossed. Letting out a long breath through his nose, the blackclad vigilante sat down and fastened the webbing over his chest. He took a moment to open up his thoughts to the telepathic link he shared with Eve Martel, unhindered by distance unlike his comlink, and gave her a brief explanation of where he was going. If the worst came to pass someone else would need to know where to find their target.

The moment everyone was secure the autonomic machine intelligence spoke up again, some of her bombastic manner subdued in favour of an officious tone. "Kurtzberg Drive engaging in three, two, one, IGNITION!" As she counted down a rumbled toward the rear of the ship grew louder until it erupted in something like a sustain leonine roar. In the city below a flash of light could be spotted in the sky above, instantly extending into a comet trail.

Inside the ship, Midnight squared his shoulder against the back of his seat as everything outside the viewport blurred into incoherence. It was just as well, with his attention and thoughts far from the vacuum over Earth. Know you've survived this. You can survive anything. Just hold on a little longer.
