Description
Thunderbolt drives work by manipulating matter via ether to mitigate or remove inertial forces, allowing for FTL travel. However, manipulating the electrical forces of materials on such a fine and vast scale makes room for mistakes to occur, such as matter "short-circuiting" or transmutation into new forms.

The Philadelphia merger effect is one such possible event that occurs from this manipulation. Under certain circumstances, objects or people can merge into the hull of ships due to electrons not repulsing each other. Shown here is several people merged into the wall from such an effect.
