Pelape has formally hired on as the copilot of a ship the usual operator of which has a cold, but departed without her partner and is liable for a fine.

Permalink

...he reports this, immediately and alarmedly.

Permalink

"I don't have an email from her or anything - if she'd disappeared magically she wouldn't have had a chance but if she left on a ship she could've left a note unless someone was kidnapping her, is there security footage of her in the port?"

Permalink

He finds it and sends it over.

Permalink

"I don't think she's being kidnapped by conventional force - looks like she's alone - she looks kind of out of it though..."

Permalink

"Can't rule it out but why? And the ships have the weight restriction - she knows about it, but who would know she knew about it to ask?"

Permalink

"Don't know. There's no way to track those things once they hit warp -"

Permalink

"She would have left a note if she'd left on purpose."

Permalink

"Mmmmaybe she left on purpose from my house and did not actually take a bus? And left a note somewhere I didn't see?"

Permalink

"Do you mind if we head over there and check -"

Permalink

"No, not at all, Dad should be gone all day."

Permalink

When they get to the lab it's not hard to find the note.

I am the only person who knows about magic and has a warp pilot's license.

This is obviously worth it and should have been obviously worth it months ago. If it doesn't work it will still have been worth trying.

I'm going to find planets, because we need them too much and needing them so much is causing stress in places we can't afford to stress.

Please pay anyone I send an invoice about so there will be more Felix brewed when I come back and ask Aitim to clear up my departure if I have to make it irregularly.

"Remind me what that stuff does?"

"It makes you lucky.

You don't take more than a day's worth at a time - usually not more than twelve hours, even -"

Permalink

"- and what happens if you, if you do -"

Permalink

"It... starts concentrating on telling you how to get more of it.

But she took it less than twelve hours ago, she must have started doing that on purpose right away -"

Permalink

"Because you'd need to be lucky for a while to find planets. Is there any point in not filling all the orders she's apparently placed with everywhere -"

Permalink

"Uh, that depends on if you want your girlfriend back or not."

Permalink

"Assume I want my girlfriend back."

Permalink

"Then no because it's much easier to get someone down off Felix if there isn't any more Felix for them to get on."

Permalink

Nod. "Is she going to be worse off from having been on it six months than one month?"

Permalink

"I... I don't know."
