Thomas Kearny, an applied physicist and nuclear engineer, was working on the [[California Research Design Team|California Research/Design Team]] (CRDT), a multi-university think tank in association with [[Stanford University]], in [[2014]], when he first met Takayoshi Fuchida, a world-renowned professor of theoretical mathematics from [[Kyoto University]], whom he had looked forward to meeting. He and Fuchida teamed up, in a relationship that developed quickly, to work on resolving problems that existed in the team's [[fusion reactor]] development program. After four years of work, the CRDT solved all the technical problems with the reactor and had it running by June [[2018]], at which time a team from Harvard and MIT took it over.<ref name=HK9>''House Kurita (The Draconis Combine)'', p. 9, "Kearny And Fuchida"</ref>

The next month, Kearny and Fuchida discovered, while reviewing reactor logs, that it had not been performing according to accepted theories of physics. They began a series of unauthorized experiments using the university's "quarkatron" accelerator in the nuclear physics laboratory. These experiments suggested to the pair that mass ''could'' exceed the speed of light when exposed to a specific energy state, but no existing reactors could provide the necessary power to validate their hypothesis. In September, they chose to publish an objective report of their observations of hyperdimensional motion within subatomic particles ("What Happened to the Universe When Einstein Wasn't Looking") in the fall issue of ''[[Western Alliance Journal of Theoretical Physics]]''. The responses received were minor but scornful.<ref name=HK9/><ref name=SL9>''The Star League'', p. 9, "Timeline: 2014 - 2027"</ref>
