"We tried something along those lines," Selka admitted. "I probably shouldn't tell you even this much, but the problem we encountered was S-thread diameter. A hypercomm transmission uses a milimetre-wide hyperspace wormhole on the high bands. Expanding that, you start running into exponential power troubles before you get into the centimetre range, and that's just if you want an unstable one, a single jump if you will. We had a scientist lose a finger on a planet a light-year away from where he was standing." She sipped at her R'alla, washing down the leftover taste of Hapan salad dressing. "Keeping something operational for minutes? Hours? Exponents on top of exponents."
