    Barnard's Star - 6 light years, 2 gas giants

  Required acceleration
    Diameter of moon 3476 Km
    Diameter of Pluto 2300 Km
    Diameter of Mars 6787 Km
    Speed of Light 300 million m/s
  Required decleration
    Diameter of Jupiter 142,800 Km

Straight line acceleration
v = 3 * 10^6 m/s
d = 2.3 * 10^6 m
v = A * t
d = 1/2 * A * t^2
2.3 * 10^6 m = 1/2 * 3 * 10^6 * t  m / s
t = 2* 2.3 / 3 s ~ 2 s
A ~ 1.5 * 10^6 G
  Yikes!


Surface circular acceleration
100G = 9800 m / s^2
C = v^2/r
g = G * m / d ^ 2
EV = ( 2 * G * m / R )^0.5
Earth
  Diameter = 12756 km
  Mass = 5.98 x 10^24 kg
  Escape Velocity = 11,200 m/sec
  gE = 9.8 m / s^2
Uranus 
  Diameter 51,118 km
  Mass = 8.686 x 10^25 kg
  Escape Velocity = 21300 m/sec
  gU = 9.8 MU * DE^2 / ME * DU^2
Neptune
  Diameter = 49528 km
  Mass = 1.02 x 10^26 kg
  Excape Velocity = 23300 m/sec
10000 m / s^2 = v^2 /  50,000 m
v = ( 5 * 10 ^ 8 ) ^ .5 m / s ~ 2 * 10 ^ 4 m / s 
Drats!  Hardly better; darned v^2 (as above)!

Straight ion rocket acceleration
3 * 10^6 m/s = 10 m/s^2 * t
t =  3 * 10^5 s
day = 3600 * 24 s ~ 9000 s
t ~ 30 day
Feasible with enough mass/fuel to sustain it.


Hydrogen
  Atomic Weight(0) = 1.007 825 032 1
  Atomic Weight(1) = 2.014 101 778 0
Helium
  Atomic Weight(2) = 4.002 603 249 7
25% efficiency 
  4.0026 * v^2 = .25 * c^2 * ( 2 * 2.0141 - 4.0026 ) 
  v = .04c
Fusion reactor with particle accelerator for helium
by product gives required acceleration.  Lower efficiency
only decreases effectiveness by square root of decrease.
Whew!

Duration of acceleration and deceleration, about 3 years.

Outline

Meeting with group
  Deborah bothered by irrelevant human emotions
  Problems: 25% unresponsive
  New designs don't work
  Old methods don't work

History
  All structures were aimless, no goals.
  Structured exactly like human nets, worked.
  Droids declared selves citizens.
  Controlled world, no meaningful resentment, no fanfare
  Started space expansion, moon launcher, astro mines, space elevator, pluto base/launcher     
  Funded 'privately', dissidents sent, resented human frailities.

Reminesce
  Flight, higher percentages never powered up as trip progressed.
  No cause, replacement sub-nets aimless.
  
Planet has life, only single celled.
Replacement sub-nets working, ...

Look at Jame's philosophical writings.
Consciousness grows or takes to familiar settings only.
Request living things sent from earth
New designs only a little different, requires death

Couple chooses voluntary death versus gradual decline,
Finds love, chooses to keep human instincts.
