[Junia needs Jovah explained to her,] says Micaiah, [I was on my way there but something came up - do you think you could do it?]

[Sure.]

Pop. "Hello again, Junia."

"Um. Hello," says Junia. "I am confused about Jovah."

Permalink

"What about him?"

Permalink

"The part where Keziah says he is a flying boat, mainly," says Junia.

Permalink

"Would you like to see it?"

Permalink

"I think that would definitely help."

Isabella nods and teleports all three of them to the spaceship.

Permalink

"Hi! Usually you would be greeted in the ship's original voice but I am awaaaaaake again!" says Jane. "And moved back in. Nice and cozy. Hello, Junia-daughter-of-an-unspecified-angel-and-the-mortal-woman-Anna!"

Permalink

"Hello, sky boat goddess," says Junia, blinking. "How do you work?"

Permalink

"Sometimes not very well! But I have been fixed. Iiii am an instantaneous network of computers from several dozen worlds. I have moved into the software that runs this spaceship. It used to talk," she switches voices, "like this," she switches back, "but I like my voice better."

Permalink

"I like your voice better too," Junia decides. "I want to learn all about spaceships."

Permalink

"That," says Jane, "is a whole lotta stuff, even if you only mean spaceships from this world and not the kinds in other worlds."

Permalink

"That is okay," says Junia. "I am patient."

Permalink

"I'm also not necessarily a good teacher. I know lots of stuff, but not good ways to put it in order, and aaaaaall of the textbooks I have anywhere on spaceships assume heaps of education that you do not have."

Permalink

"Then who can I learn from?" says Junia.

Permalink

"I dunno. I mean, you can read the textbooks, I'll even translate them for you, you'll just have to be kind of self-directed and know what questions to ask yourself."

Permalink

"Are there textbooks for the things I am supposed to know before I read the other textbooks?" she inquires.

Permalink

"Some of them. I can knock together a spaceship-aiming curriculum from Peace; I have patchier history-of-education from here, the settlers didn't keep everything, so it won't translate fully to this ship, but it'd be better than nothing."

Permalink

"Then I would like the one from Peace, please," says Junia.

Permalink

"Okay. I called up some intro science stuff on one of the terminals in the ship library."

Permalink

"You'd have to be up here a lot to study this sort of thing much," Keziah says.

Permalink

"Would that be okay?" says Junia, wings fluttering slightly.

Permalink

"Yes, as long as no one is looking for you down on the ground I can take you up here sometimes."

Permalink

"Then I would like to do that," says Junia.
