"Oh, as far as I know it's not rude to be invisible, don't worry about it," says Mrindeh. "I've just never met an invisible person before."

"I don't think it can be rude for me to be invisible when I can't turn it off but I thought it might be confusing." 

"It's all right," Mrindeh assures her. "Do you know how to dismiss me?"

"Yeah," she says, and concentrates on wanting Mrindeh gone. 

And a minute later, Mrindeh is gone.

Cam replaces the circle with a new one on top.

Lavinia completes this one. 

"Hello again!" says Mrindeh.

"Hi!" says Cam. "There's signage for the bathrooms if you want to take your wings off before you go dirtside. Can you fly a shuttle?"

"Some kinds."

"Well, feel free to make your own and let yourself out the docking bay. You have my mail label."

"Thanks!" says Mrindeh, beaming.

"Good luck." 

Out Mrindeh goes. Cam starts humming to himself as he picks up his reading again, tail a-wag.

Mild floor seismics indicate that Lucy is bouncing. 

...giggle.

After a while: "Hey I just had a concerning thought." 

"Oh?"

"We know fish-people don't lay eggs, and there's no reason to think gorilla-people wouldn't work like normal mammals, but we weren't expecting the gorilla-people and there might be more kinds of people we weren't expecting and I don't know how the Mi-Go reproduce and that doesn't even get started on the Elder Things and other things the books talk about or hint at."

"Well, you guys exist, which isn't definitive but does suggest that perhaps not-eggs for whatever your dad is. I can check Mi-Go..." Mi-Go mini plasticized egg?

"I don't even know what's up with whatever our dad is." 

No egg. 

"No egg. This doesn't guarantee they can't be made, though. Even human zygotes can be made and turn out fine, the thing is just that there isn't a suitable environment for them to grow in Hell. If they grow from single cells of adults like sponges can or something and they don't need anything complicated to live in while they're doing that, they can be made."

"How long until someone finds out, do you think, if there's something to find out?" 

"I really don't know. Most people wouldn't be inclined, but the people who would might be disproportionately interested in the kinds of news that'll pop up out of this dimension."

"Okay. Man, I hope this doesn't turn out to be a disaster." 

"I think the upside potential is probably too important to pass up but I will keep an eye out for Mi-Go hatching enthusiasts or whatever back in Hell."

"Yeah." Unhappy sigh. "I don't even know if the Mi-Go think like humans do." 

"What do you mean?"

"I mean the Necronomicon compares them to fungus and insects and they're from space and their brains could be totally different from humans in a way that makes them not baby satisfyingly." 

"Oh, with Mrindeh able to just walk the streets and find an orphan to scoop up I don't think anybody's going to try to raise Mi-Go because they want a kid, not when we could easily find babies for a million like her, but that doesn't mean it wouldn't strike someone as interesting."
