Flying is good. Flying clears his head, flying is better than just stepping outside at that inexpressible benefit of "fresh air". People do not tend to bother him when he is flying.
I expect you to land in deep space somewhere and then make yourselves a lightleaper. Technically a chance you'd land in a sun but it's negligible. If you'd rather make a new Maitimo when you get there you can do that too, I am just very excited about diplomatic contact with aliens and want them to meet the peoples of Endore as well as you.
If the destination doesn't have itself mapped how am I going to find anybody even if I discover their existence?
Cam goes and has a nice conference. Including a delicious menu at lunchtime. Who's sitting with him today?
"I did! I want to come along, can I?"
"Come along where?" Findekáno says behind Cam.
Maitimo grins at him, a bit reservedly. "We have interdimensional travel."
"Oh, congratulations. Are you going to Hell?"
"We do not have targeted interdimensional travel. We're going fuck-knows-where and bringing them up to the modern age as fast as we can."
"Or learning from them," Findekáno says, sitting, "it is possible that they'll look at us and go 'you poor souls what kinds of centuries-out-of-date lightleaper even is that".
"Wouldn't it? There's a bit of an exploration-exploitation tradeoff," Findekáno continues, "seems like maybe we should be hopping around to higher tech before we start bringing people up to speed - I'm thinking in particular that we've got no chance of curing mortality in aliens with current medical tech -"
"We've got Cam, though, no one else has got Cam. Could be that the high-tech aliens will think we're provincial children but also, hey, provincial children who can prevent the heat death of their universe."
The people from Brithombar are shaking their heads at the two of them. "Noldor," someone mutters.
"Well, absent targeting it's not a tradeoff we get to make purposefully," Cam says, "unless we want to visit a bunch of random places and leave outposts in them and then sort."
"Yeah, you can come. How many are you each up to now, I don't remember off the top of my head."
"Just curious. Do you have nicknames or just try to be interchangeable?"
