Thank you for joining me on this trip to Rigel Kantaurus. Before we leave the Solar System we must refuel, which means She will take a big drink from the methane-hydrogen sea of Neptune. This will give Her energy to fuel the blue star at Her heart. She needs to refuel every 75 light years, so we will have no trouble reaching the multi-star system. Between star systems She breathes space to catalyze her fuel and feed the blue star.
Your colleagues are following us with powerful telescopes and radar. As we accelerate out of the Solar System they will see our light doppler shift toward the red end of the spectrum. By the time we exit the Kuiper Belt the energy in the light they detect will be so low, they will lose us. Ha! As if we ceased to exist.
