"It's amphibious too?"

Sable grins wide and nods. "I love my trainship."

Permalink

"Ok, well, there's a bridge high up that I wanted to check out. Have you been to Kuiper? A vacuum with lots of empty space?"

Permalink

"Connected, haven't visited. Wanna go see?"

Permalink

Go to space with two conduits that are basically strangers and can't actually trust yet. "Absolutely."

Permalink

She points somewhere above. "I think its that way."

Permalink

Yeah, sure, she'll go along with that. 

"Just to be clear, I can't breathe in space, so I'm going to be relying on the trainship here."

Permalink

"Honestly neither can I. Trainship for the win."

She feels out into the sky for a Kuiper bridge... there. Yeah, pretty close to where Strawberry pointed, and very high up. Well, no time like the present. 

She sits down and buckles up in the pilot's seat while she gets the trainship ready, fingers flipping switches swiftly. "Strap in, girls. We're going all the way up."

Permalink

"Yeah, I can go up there, but, like, a vacuum will still fuck me up." The urge to explain the many little caveats in that statement in excruciating detail is potent, but there was mention of opsec, so maybe she should wait before she gives them an exact rundown of what she can and cannot do. She takes a seat and straps herself in. "Spaaaaaaaaaaace." She mutters instead.

"Space. Space. Gotta go space." Eva grins.

Permalink

Sable laughs, grins, and starts throttling up. The trainship picks up speed, and she tilts the pseudotrack attitude control back to roll skyward.

The ship thunders into the sky.

"Woah." Strawberry glues herself to a window as they rise. The sparse clouds and sky blue sky give way to the darkness of a thinner atmosphere. She has been on planes before, and she has teleported as high as she could one time, so she has this sense that they are going through the layers of the world a little too fast. She's not actually sure how to phrase the question she has. "Is the atmosphere... a little small or is it just me?"

Permalink

Mental math flits through her mind for a moment: velocity, time, distance, size, all in a blur. "You... have a very good point. How small is this place?"

Permalink

"I... I don't know. But, like, the gravity would be different, right?" She shouldn't be too surprised, this isn't Earth, but she expected...

Permalink

What did she expect?

Permalink

For things to be like Earth, unless otherwise specified.

Permalink

"I mean... unless something about the planetary composition was different enough to compensate? Or weird magical fiat? Or something?"

Permalink

"I don't know why I expected any of these magical world to behave like Earth. They could be flat, or cake-shaped, or bowl-shaped."

Permalink

"For all we know it could even be a person."

Permalink

"Spooky thought." They approach the bridge. "So how does this work?"

Permalink

She grins wider, rolling down the non-existent track directly at the bridge. "I mentally grab the whole ship as we approach the bridge, and everyone aboard is jumped together at once, all under my power. Pretty sure it would work even jumping a non-Conduit."

They get closer.

"Thirty seconds to jump."

Permalink

She braces herself. "Well, here goes nothing."
