No luck!

"Yep, you're protected! Linyabel'll pick it up really fast, Bells always do."

Permalink

"It did mention it in the things I read," she says. "You may check if I have it yet."

Permalink

He checks.

Permalink

Yep she's all set.

Permalink

"You got it! You can read Loki's spells out of the things I gave you too, right?"

Permalink

"Yeah, but you have to osanwë the alphabet still."

Permalink

"Want that now?"

Permalink

"Yes please!"

Permalink

So he sends her the symbolic alphabet.

Permalink

"Thanks!" And she starts reading spells.

Permalink

And he meddles more with their budding ansible satellite station.

When she's between spells Linyabel says, "In the long run we might want to move somewhere other than here. Nobody's looking for it exactly, but between teleportation and the ansible we might as well be somewhere nobody could get to even if they really really wanted to find us."

Permalink

"There are probably lots of planets that aren't near any wormholes, right?"

Permalink

"Yeah. Is there a good way to find where they are?"

Permalink

"I could conjure models of all the roughly-one-gee-and-right-temperature planets in some sector of the galaxy, you could check which ones are on wormhole maps if there are comprehensive ones - I can't conjure for 'all the habitable planets without a wormhole nearby', that wouldn't go..."

Permalink

"There's near-enough-comprehensive nexus maps. Can you filter by systems with comm drones in them?"

Permalink

"Dunno about filter but I can conjure for those for each world and discard it if there are any nearby."

Permalink

"Okay, that'll get rid of any world where somebody's got an actual outpost."

Permalink

"Okay. Dunno what would happen if I made a scale model of a wormhole but l'll try it in space just in case it's something dangerous, and if I can do that at all then I'll be able to find planets not near any wormholes too."

Permalink

"You should probably be actually very careful with that because I don't know if indestructibility would handle the thing that happens if somebody gets lost going through a wormhole."

Permalink

"What happens?"

Permalink

"Nobody knows exactly, they just don't come back ever."

Permalink

"...do you have names?"

Permalink

"No... we could look some up but it wouldn't be in what I downloaded before we moved here."
