She will wait for the construction to be done, then. Probably not just waiting, just waiting sounds unreasonably stressful, she'll probably just end up sitting here with a coolness-induced stomachache if she tries that. She's going to check the air levels again and ask whether everyone else is really sure there aren't any more leaks.

They're sure, but the angel is checking for them just in case!

Permalink

Oh good! She wants to thank the angel, too, the angel's been incredibly helpful through all this.

Permalink

The angel appreciates it.

The new habitat goes up and Cam reappears at the airlock.

She meets him there and lets him back into the station. She should... probably tell everyone about the thing. She'll just do that now, it's not actually going to get any easier if she puts it off. 

"Hey everyone! So, uh, I asked the demon if he could make us a new habitat, and it turns out the demon knows how to build whole arcologies, and he's built a second one for us that should have better safety systems in place. If anyone doesn't think it's likely to be safe, that's fine, I understand, I don't have the engineering expertise to confirm it all independently right now. But it's out there, and if everyone's OK with connecting the new habitat to this one, then it'd be good if we could build a tunnel between them."

Aaaa aaaaa aaaaa aaaaa hopefully the inevitable questions won't be impossibly hard to answer. Aaaa.

"I think that's still safe if it doesn't mess with the airlock on our end..."

"We can just spacewalk it, why risk it?"

"Why risk going in at all, this one is fine now that the leak's fixed -"

"Can we look at the plans?"

"You don't know how to read an arcology blueprint."

"Yeah but it doesn't know that."

"It already made it!"

Permalink

"You can look at the blueprints, I can get those in a minute. Maybe someone here knows what they're looking at better than I do. We could spacewalk over, but I don't think a tunnel is a risk, since that shouldn't mess with the Elysium airlock, and having the tunnel makes things easier. Not gonna ask anyone to go over if they think this is the safer station, but I'm not convinced everything's properly protected from micrometeorites on this end."

Nobody strenuously objects to the tunnel.

Excellent! She will return to her room so she can figure out how to get the blueprints to people. She'll get Cam on the way, and do her best to refrain from talking until they're somewhere where he can answer her without making a scene. 

She does give him an excited thumbs up on the way, though, because she can't not do that, c'mon.

He wags his tail.

Permalink

And they reach her rooms. 

"So! They're divided on whether they want to go over right now, which is probably fair, it's not like I can independently check the quality of the safety equipment, but they are OK with the tunnel. Some of them would also appreciate it if they could see the plans for the place, can we give them those?"

Permalink

"Yup. You want them on paper or should I email you them to forward?"

Permalink

"Email should work fine. And then I can forward them to the others, and then I can see the place."

Permalink

"Address?"

Permalink

She gives him her email address. 

"Oh, that reminds me, in terms of contact ability stuff, I still don't have a way to summon you again. We should probably get that set up, especially if we're gonna be living in your arcology? Be good to be able to talk to the builder if anything comes up."

Permalink

"Sure. Do you want me to duplicate this circle's binding or do you want to, uh, wait fourteen hours for a download from the Safe Summoning Authority and have me show you how to fill it in, or...?"

Permalink

"....would it be really inconvenient to ask you to wait fourteen hours?"

Permalink

"I will wait fourteen hours if you like. I could also just grab you the Safe Summoning Authority's files from here but it would not be unreasonable for you to look askance at that given the givens."

Permalink

"I feel like I'm bad enough at this that I shouldn't throw any more caution to the wind unnecessarily. I appreciate the understanding. And I'm sorry for asking you to stay for so long, I hope I'm not making you miss anything important back home?"

Permalink

"No, I had nothing on. I don't take summonses when I have an appointment, you never know when they wanna keep you for a week."

Permalink

"That's good, then."

She starts the download process, then forwards the station plans to the rest of the colony.

Permalink

Nobody finds, nor indeed is qualified to find, anything wrong with the plans.

Permalink

This is to be expected. She's going to transport what's left of her stuff over as soon as Cam's made the tunnel. 

Permalink

He makes the tunnel - walking down it in the process - as soon as he has the go-ahead.

Permalink

She will follow him over when it's complete!
