"Actually gravity just works totally differently, so the spheres have stuff growing on them on all the sides and getting there doesn't require flying, flying just speeds things up."

"If you'd like a relevant textbook once you're done reveling in the payoff of your accomplishment that can probably be arranged.  Or now, if you're in a hurry."

Isaac makes a slightly pained indecisive noise.  "No, I should probably go look at the stuff.  Let me out?  - Please."

"Do you want a coat?"

"I'll take my chances without."

Cam touches down and releases him into the cave.

He runs for the bookcase!  And grabs a stack of files and sits down on the rug someone left next to it to start going through them.

"I should probably start composing a basic explanation of how your worlds work, tailored to locals' assumptions."

"It does seem like it might come in handy."

"Did you still want to do a lap around or was this enough information?  I had no idea about this place, personally."

"It seems habitable and it's not experiencing routine events that mess up all these little shrines, so it's probably a fine choice."

"Well, some of the stars and clouds on my list aren't picky about the initial conditions of their instantiations as long as their basic needs are taken care of."

"Yeah, I should release some survey drones, get an idea of how much space there is to work with and how uneven the floor is, design an artificial lighting situation for spots that are too far back to get enough sun, computer-aided-design a nice city..." He does the drones part while he says the rest of the sentence and they fly off to measure things with lasers.

The ground here is slightly more even but also more sloped; at the opening there's enough clearance for seven or eight stories and the roof mostly slopes lower towards the back although eventually it opens up to another cavern.  Nearly all of the human-brought objects are clustered in one spot against the wall but some of them sit alone farther back or in the middle (a cairn, another flag, two unfamiliar musical instruments in cases).

A model of the cave builds itself up on his computer while the drones aim lasers at all the cave surfaces.

"I don't know how important greenery - or whatever other colors of plants you can spin up - is for more biologically robust people, but you'll probably want to include a park of some kind."

"It's important for aforementioned gas mix reasons and psychological ones, so yeah, I'll have plants in here. And nice bright lights." What kind of rock is this, he conjures ten randomly sampled pieces of ceiling and analyzes them in a suddenly appearing geology object to figure out how he will need to install the lights.

There are five of the same type of a rock which it doesn't know how to identify, two of another, two slate, and yet another it doesn't know.  They mostly seem convenient for light-installing in terms of stability although the kind that there was two of is a little soft for it.

"Gosh, you've got some exotic minerals here, my thingamabob can identify slate and none of the rest of the samples I made."

"Do you know whether that was also true of ones on the surface?"

"Good question!" Random scattered chunks of bedrock from upstairs.

Here's some of Unfamiliar Rock #s 1 and 2, a few new varieties, a few which are normal for Cam's Earth, and a chunk of quartz.

"Huh. Okay. Is there a good materials science reference I should be using to identify these rocks and look up their properties? For things like installing light fixtures in them and whatnot."

Felicity names one.

Cam will start doing ~*~data entry~*~.
