Yao Yuan had been thinking about the warp 6 months prior to his announcement.
The thought was initiated by a sense of lethargy that he felt was spreading through the Hope.
It was not that the people had gotten lazy, it was on the contrary. Everyone worked their hardest, way into the night. Everyone contributed their best!
This lethargy came from another source… complacency. Even since they left Earth, it was a series of disasters, one after another. It was impossible that the citizens didn’t get fearful for their lives. Even Yao Yuan had startled himself awake as memories of the past surged into his dreams. He would lie awake in bed for hours on end every time after such nightmares.
If even Yao Yuan was exposed to such frights, it would be worse for the normal civilians.
