Inverse Crescent. You are drawn by a gradually increasing force towards MC. The measurement of the force (which we will call "Pull") is basically -LV, but it does not increase at a uniform rate. This is probably due to quantum. (The technical specialists among us can expand on this.) Periodic announcements on the current level of Pull will be made by Mission Control. The aim is to resist the increasing attraction to MC as long as possible. The higher your LV away from MC, the longer you can resist, but if your LV becomes greater than 186,000, then you break free of Pull altogether and spin off into outer wotsit, ending up god knows where. The first person to arrive at MC, obviously, loses the game.
Good morning. We apologise for the quantum subspace gravimetrion fluctuations in temporal stability that have caused MC5 time to effectively stand still for the past few seconds. Pull has been measured at -43,394.27 closing off all borders at Zone 2. Crypto-straddles into Zone 3 are still theoretically possible but should not be attempted without an LV terminal capacitor. Today's special is..err...Tang. That is all.
Well it would appear I'm stuck at Bond Street where my LV has shot up to 7.327 recurring. Although I'm not sure if my meter's been calibrated in hundreds, tens or units, or even base 8. Hang on, that's not a 3, it's a capital E. Someone's set me in hexadecimal again...
