Redemption & tachyon detection grid

Bingo:

Also, redeploying a formation dozens of light-years across shouldn't have happened so quickly.

 

Unless the starships are travelling at TOS warp speeds of course!

 

Hee hee.

 

"Prepare to go around the detection grid."
"But Commander, it's 50 light years wide!"
"We're not going around. We're going... over."
"Over?"
"Yes, over."
"But how, Commander?"
"You see, I have postulated that space doesn't consist merely of a 2D plane, but is, in fact, three dimensional."
"That's insane!"
"Yes, it appears that way, but we're going to try regardless."

"Captain, the Romulan fleet is gone!"
"Where did they go?"
"I don't know sir! They just vanished!"
"Perhaps they warped back to Romulus."
"It's possible, sir, but what if..."
"Go on, Ensign."
"What if they went... over, sir?"
"Over?"
"Yes, over."
"Don't be daft, man. You can't just go over people in space. You can only go around."
"Yes, sir, I'm sorry, sir. It was a foolish idea."
