10th Prescription | Black Hole Sun
[Having found the time between working and keeping up with her duties as a doctor, Eirin has been mulling over something for quite a while. Though she's been doing her best to study up on it, she's no farther than she was before, so she's taken to the network.]

[Eirin looks somewhat fatigued as she sits with the bridge of her nose pinched between her thumb and forefinger. She doesn't move, but instead opens her eyes and looks toward the guide.]
I am completely unfamiliar with the method through which this ship travels insane distances, so I have decided to ask any of you with the knowledge for a sort of discussion on the matter. I would like to keep this discussion to those who actually know something about it, despite the fact that we may not be able to do anything about it.
This..."Infinite Improbability Drive," as they call it...a strange method through which this ship is able to slip beyond the boundaries of reality and move through space impossibly.
As such, this drive does not seem to rely on propulsion, but rather a randomizing of events that is based in the realm of what it keeps referring to as "infinite improbability." I don't understand how such a thing works...though something has occurred to me. If this drive is based upon improbability, why has it simply not been activated during this supposed crisis?
This is likely the first time I have had to do so, but I am quite literally begging for answers on this matter. My theory stands as thus: If the drive operates on improbability, and the only probability of being caught within the gravity well of a Black Hole is certain destruction...then why has the drive not been activated? Considering the supposed operation of such a thing, the only option for such a thing is to produce the absolute improbability of the THOR escaping its current fate of being compressed into oblivion within the superdense core of the Black Hole. If such a drive were to be activated, wouldn't its only option be to produce the absolute improbability of escaping such a thing rather easily?
Am I reading into this incorrectly, or have the ship's systems been so damaged already that such a thing cannot be done? Is the improbability of escaping such a thing something even this "drive" cannot handle? Or is the improbability of such a thing being able to exist actually a mask for the fact that this system is not as improbable as it claims, and we are simply powered by propulsion and thus cannot escape the gravity well?
I know my speculation will really come to nothing helpful, but I would most certainly like to know more about this if anyone has any information. Conflicting theories are also quite welcome.
Perhaps I simply wish to take my mind off of it for a while. I am running myself ragged trying to understand something so...preposterous.
[Eirin finally sighs, removing her hand from the bridge of her nose. She promptly reaches toward the guide, and shuts the feed off.]
