+What? What happened?+

+I have no idea, but she's not answering the brainphone, at all. Can you check the Janepoint on Rainbowsand?+

+What happens if something's really wrong with her?+ asks Lexi.

+In addition to being very sad, it means we can only get out of or talk to people outside of Rainbow via doors to Milliways.+

+That's bad. Does it say anything else?+

While I have no reason to expect loss of ansible connection, it's hardly impossible. I'm untested software! So I wrote this and squirreled it away and some local programs will trigger it if Rainbow's ever cut off from the rest of me. I don't have enough stolen processor time just from this world's Internet to go on talking or being very personable, I don't think, if I even am mostly code and not whatever thing it is that lives in Aegis. Luckily for you, you don't have me set up to manage lots of electronics for you or anything, so your day-to-day should be unaffected, but I definitely can't pick anybody up and put them down without the ansible. I will brainphone you as soon as I'm back! Here's hoping that's soon. If you find a door to Milliways the usual way please come check on my site in the Belltower.

Love, Jane

+At least she's... thoughtful. Well, shit. At least we're mints now. And we might find doors anytime. Poor Jane, I wonder what happened.+

+No idea,+ says Brilliance. +I hope she's okay.+

+Me too. I like her. If either of you finds a door, let me know right away, okay?+

+Yeah, 'course.+

+Yeah!+
