"...don't know. One of these times it's going to go much worse than it has so far."

"Yeah, we could've landed a little closer to the robots..."

"Or in a world like yours that pays attention..."

"Eegh."

"Maybe we don't jump more until things get bad or we figure out what's going on."

"I just - can't figure out what went wrong."

"Maybe there aren't other worlds that have the things we were looking for?"

"They might exist somewhere else. If some other planet has aliens with spaceships...but that doesn't explain the god."

"There might be edge cases, demigods or whatever, but a god who controls the weather and stuff isn't that."

"Not really, no. Though he seems - limited in scope, at least."

"Yeah. And he does what angels tell him to, it didn't sound like he went around doing most things of his own accord."

"It might be the best we can do but - how frustrating if so."

"Yeah."

Hug. Sigh. "But we also didn't get spaceships, and that seems even less likely to go wrong or be hard to fulfill than the 'no gods'."

"We might have got spaceships with robots world and we did get spaceships with the spherical Arda and there could be aliens with spaceships here. Next time we can try to aim near the spaceships?"

"That seems like a good idea."

"Hopefully nobody thinks we're hijacking the ship if we appear actually on it."

"Maybe we go invisibly."

"That wouldn't hide us from a subtle artist, let alone an unfamiliar variety of alien, and it might seem unfriendly."

"It might make it harder to aim, though."

"That's true. It's hard to make tradeoffs when we don't know anything about whose spaceships we'll land near."

"Maybe it's worth getting interdimensional scrying before we try for more worlds."

"Then we could also land closer to alts, maybe, instead of relying on being recognized - we might have missed this one if we'd landed closer to a different town."

"Yeah. Closer to alts if they exist and out of danger."

Nod. "Have to prioritize whose alts, in case they're not close together."
