Boromir approached Dr. Frodo timidly. Dr. Frodo reflected on the fact that
Boromir usually did not come to him outside of the 6 O' Clock Hobbit.
"I have an idea that could cut our travel time from 3 months to 3 weeks. We
could attach the ring to Shadowfax." Of course! Boromir was not the smartest
engineer picked for this mission, but sometimes it took someone less smart to
realize something so obvious. By harvesting the power of the soon-to-be destroyed
ring, they could add velocity to the horse Shadowfax.
"Where would you attach the ring?" questioned Dr. Frodo.
"I asked for stress analysis on Shadpwfax from mission control, and it said
that the tail unit was very strong."
"It seems ypu have thought this through. Have you told the captain?" Frodo Heywood
asked.
"Not yet. I didn't think he would listen to me without someone else's support."
That week there were a lot of messages sent to mission control about the structure
of Shadowfax. After they had researched it thoroughly, Heywood and Boromir decided
to tell Captian Gandalf.
