They mass-shift because the Stardrive is using frozen water to drive the fusion-reactor and slow the craft. DUH!
Yeah, the scientists should get back to us when they observe the object making mid-course corrections.

Just wait til their shields go up!
Not that I don’t think the whole alien mothership stuff isn’t ridiculous, it’s still sorta fun.
So I have an astrophysics question.
Maybe they ejected mass after they reached perihelion.
If they carried a lot of mass on the acceleration in, and then ejected it into the sun, wouldn’t the lower mass allow them to keep more velocity as they escape than they would have if they kept the same amount of mass?
It has started releasing it’s antimatter torpedoes. Our solar system is doomed. Doomed I tell you.
