"Any thought yet on who will be allowed to live there?"

Permalink

"The idea is to have a place for resurrected stars to go so they don't overwhelm places upstairs and I do not otherwise have an immigration policy at this time, in part because I have no idea how many people will want to up and move here."

Permalink

"I do!!  Please let me I won't cause trouble and I won't be missing; people can just think I died when I crashed if that would be convenient - "

Permalink

"I'd rather you not fake your death!"

Permalink

"Then I won't; I'm easy."

Permalink

"I have no specific objection to you moving into the city of Atriama when it's up but give it like. A week. Okay?"

Permalink

"Okay."

Permalink

"Sorry, I just expect to be kind of busy moving in the various stars and dealing with a bunch of things that become obvious issues needing patched only in retrospect and stuff."

Permalink

"I could help.  Do you need someone fresh to test anything about it on?  I could die for real if you did."

Permalink

"- no! Please do not volunteer for things like that, it makes me uncomfortable."

Permalink

"Sorry.  What other things are like that?"

Permalink

"Uh, anything involving grievous bodily harm to people."

Permalink

"Okay."  He pulls out a tiny notebook, wider than it is tall, and jots something down in it.  "Did you really mean a week or did you mean 'no but I don't feel like dealing with telling you no right now.'"

Permalink

"A week is a very, very made up figure but, once things that I cannot put off till later with respect to creating a new city for stars to live in calm down, assuming, as may be very much erroneous, that no other crises then demand my attention, I will figure out letting more people move in, such as you."

Permalink

"Okay."

Permalink

"Thank you for your understanding." Cam resumes chalking the ground to mark where things might tentatively go. He needs a way to either water-cycle everything internally or drain stuff off the edge, does Felicity have an opinion on that.

Permalink

"Either seems fine.  Separately from the waste disposal an infinite waterfall would look gorgeous if implementing it were convenient."

Permalink

"I think I'll recirculate, it'll hold up better if I am called away or there wind up being a ton of these. An infinite waterfall I can just turn off if the situation calls for it though..." He designs a river to go through the city and pour off prettily.

Permalink

"Ooh.  Is there a grate or something to make sure people who fall in don't fall out?"

Permalink

"Yeah, and I'm keeping it pretty shallowly graded so it won't flow fast enough to thonk somebody into the grate at high speed."

Permalink

"That's good.  Although at least that way we would find them quickly instead of waiting for them to die of dehydration or I suppose probably starvation if they had infinite waterfall water handy."

Permalink

"I assume someone who falls into a slow river will either drown, or not drown and thus be spotted sooner or later, and not have time to starve."

Permalink

"If they did manage to fall off, I meant."

Permalink

"Oh. Yeah that would be bad, I'll have a net. - what's terminal velocity here?"

Permalink

"I think I remember that a dummy with lots of sensors on it took about five hours to fall the distance of one diameter."
