Description
Among the fragments of Spider-bot computer memory that survived the war humans had found various references to warp drive mechanics and how faster-than-light travel was achieved. It took awhile to piece together and translate, but in the end the scientists and computer technicians were able to figure out the basics. Humans had long considered how they might warp space-time to achieve speeds greater than light. Various ways had been proposed over the years.

One such method had been to try and create warp bubbles that would act as steep space-time inclines, propelling ships along at faster than light speeds as they tried to slide down the pathway opening up before them. Called Alcubierre Drives, they had long been tried but never been successfully achieved. The human scientists had been trying to do it the wrong way. Other species had figured it out though.

The sentient species of the galaxy all utilized a synthetic red-colored compound that interacted with the brains of sentient organisms at the sub-atomic level. Sub-conscious thought and reality were one and the same at that level. Under normal circumstances the brain could not alter reality at the macroscopic level. The compound enabled the sentient beings to tap into their sub-atomic consciousness however and thereby exert a semblance of control over reality itself. With practice they could expand this control beyond the sub-atomic level out past their own brains and create a warp bubble.

By hooking up sentient beings to a source of the mind-altering compound inside a space ship and manipulating their feral/base instincts, their minds could create warp bubbles that would affect the entire ship. Multiple warp bubbles could be created in fact, each for a different purpose depending on how the feral emotions/feelings of the beings were manipulated.

If the sentient felt pain it subconsciously wanted to flee from their present location, providing propulsion to the bubble. Given a target, they went towards the target. If the bubble were big enough to envelop the whole ship, it went wherever the bubble went. Depending on the number of sentient beings hooked up to the system and how much of the compound was sent into their bloodstream to interact with their brains, the warp bubbles could be accelerated to fantastic speeds, with no inertial affect on the bubble's interior. People in the ship felt no acceleration or deceleration at all even though the ship was cruising at many times the speed of light.

If the sentient felt pleasure and was given a target it could be trained to send out elongated warp bubbles that acted as tractor beams, reeling the target in towards the ship. This was how ships often brought other ships close enough to dock with them or objects closer for examination.

If the sentient felt fear and was given a target it could be trained to send out elongated warp bubbles that would push away the targets, acting as repulsion beams. Though a purely defensive maneuver, it was highly effective in space battles to avoid ramming tactics and push other ships towards obstacles or hazards or to fend off small asteroids or missiles.

If the sentient felt anger and was given a target it could be trained to send out elongated warp bubbles that ended in elongated wedges or pointed tips that could pierce and rend the target like a lance or missile. The tip warped space-time itself so drastically that metal and other solids were torn apart. It was one of the chief weapons used in space battles.

Earth scientists were intrigued. They had never considered such a method. Quantum Biology had only just started to be studied before the war and was in it's infancy. Few knew how the sub-atomic world influenced thinking or consciousness or macroscopic reality, although some had suspected there was a link of some sorts. Wave function collapse in the sub-atomic world had to happen for some reason after all.

The compound was achievable by human science, albeit at significant cost and much labor. Batches of the red syrup-like substance were created and studied. Without being placed in a subject's bloodstream it didn't exhibit any particularly strange or unusual characteristics however.

Test subjects were therefor needed ...

Authors note : Apologies for the deep science in this one if it throws anyone off. Quantum Biology is an interesting but very young discipline. For those interested, I can recommend Roger Penrose's "Shadows of The Mind" and "The Large, The Small and the Human Mind." He has his detractors but his ideas are very intriguing.
