Dave entered the Bridge and heard Adriana's question.
Dave : Infact Adriana, there is no FTL speed at all as you imagine. The warp drive creates sub-space dilatations which permits the ship to make 'shortcuts' into normal space.
He takes then a white paper and folds it explaining the warp effect to Adriana.
Dave : Ok so I have this paper, on the both edges of this piece of paper there stands point A, our location, and point B, our destination. From A to B there are almost ... 5000 LYs. The warp drive, folds the normal space *he then folded the paper* and brings point A and B in the same location. So we go to point B by simple standing, allowing the warp drive to do its job. When the space returns to its normal state, we are not in point A anymore... but in point B.
After explaining this to her, he put a long smile on his face, showing the appreciation that she listened to his interesting explanation.
