After the transit the unknown and untested nature of the device that Bruce constructed was apparent. Hundred of injuries across the ship were reported. The worst being in engineering. The proximity to the Aperture drive was extremely deadly. Multiple crew arrived at the sol system missing parts of there bodies. Bruce got the worst of it leaving behind his left leg and right eye and arm floating somewhere in the briar patch.
