Infinite growth

To/From: acahn@cascade.internal.gate, dmanse@cascade.internal.gate

Derek, I wanted to chase up our chat about IS-0107. I just spoke to Dr. Stern, and he informs me that its rate of growth indicates it will be half the size of our galaxy in less than fifty thousand years. I believe we must act now to alleviate the risk here.

God, I thought you were joking last night. What are our options?

Well, we have no current way to destroy it, the thing doesn't really 'exist' in the usual sense. So we really just need it to get as far away from our part of the galaxy as possible.

Alright yes, very much 'option b'.

Indeed. I'll send you Dr. Stern's thoughts on the current weight measurements.

I'll talk to Carl about transport. He's still got friends at JPL.
