Talk:Mysteries

Why does Ryouko's soul gem glow in the presence of active FTL technology?

My current hypothesis ties the glowing aspect into Ryouko's teleporting power, which is suspiciously akin to the Cepaholopod's Blink drive:

• Both require charging a jump
• Both require some pause after a jump to recharge
• Both are (presumable) instantaneous in transfer

Points of contention needed to reconcile:

• Ryouko's gem glows in presence of hyperspace FTL
  • This might be explained by an assumed presence of exotic matter in both kinds of engines.
