Cam catches a summons while he's in the middle of Atriama. He's seen it before, it's fine.
Here she is! "I think the babies are allllmost ready! I was going to come find you shortly."
"Oh that's great news! Is the process not as all-at-once as I'd thought, that they're taking a while?"
"I'd compare it to, hm, putting on a boiler suit - while tied up, and it's too small and of a very rough fabric - and while you're in the process you can feel more and more of what's happening in it, a little like coming down from omnilol, then once you've fully got it on the bindings come off and you can move intentionally even if it's very uncomfortable. And since this is our first batch I think it's smart to be very safe about things like 'what if they're moving reflexively instead of intentionally', 'what if they've just been at it so long that they can move a little even though they aren't all the way in', that sort of thing."
"A pair of coveralls? Painter's costume? A thing you put on over your regular clothes when doing work that might ruin them."
"They're mostly very sleepy, which is most of why I'm having trouble telling whether they're ready."
"I think they're just about ready but if you want to send another shuttle out with some milk to be on the safe side I won't object."
"They probably couldn't eat the milk anyway if they're not all settled in and I guess they don't have infantile jaundice to clear or anything. Mrindeh will presumably top them off when they come home to her."
"The little ones for the ends of braids instead of the ones for all of the hair near your head, please."
"Thank you very much!" She giggles, politely. "May I also please have a sandwich on wheat bread with lettuce, turkey, and cranberry sauce spread on the side closest to the turkey, cut diagonally, please?"
