I am absolutely POSITIVE this will be resolved in a matter of MOMENTS. Of cooourse, someone will have to be at the other warp pad to know that we haven't reached it yet, BUT if they aren't they soon will be! And we will not be stuck here for hundreds of years waiting for a fix to a problem brought on by centuries of neglecting these warp pads at ALL!
