"The ones that don't just- appear?"

"Yes, we do."

"Odd. The long-range plan will need to account for both methods of generation, but I do not think that is immediately relevant."

Permalink

"It's not directly relevant, but mixed courts will typically be dozens or fewer and breeder courts easily hundreds."

Permalink

"That size difference should be obvious enough from outside."

Permalink

"How do you mean?"

Permalink

"In determining where to attack first. We need not establish whether one is mixed or breeder."

Permalink

"I mean how are you planning to tell. Some courts might have a lot of population kept inside, or in close quarters."

Permalink

"We have technological ways of detecting lifesigns, even through walls. And if those should fail for some reason of arcane biology, fairies are still sensible by me."

Permalink

"Okay. I will be more useful to you if I know things like that."

Permalink

"And now that your willingness to assist is established, I am ready to share such knowledge. In what format do you prefer I convey such background information?"

Permalink

"I'm happy to read it if that's what you mean, if that would be more convenient."

She offers a datapad. "I have here a summary of my forces available and their armaments. If the level of technological development I observed during my time there was typical, you may require some clarification on the usage and limitations of certain items. Regrettably I have not prepared a document to answer such questions, but I will answer them as you raise them."

"Okay... how do I operate this."

"The small button on top turns the screen off and on. The arrow buttons at the bottom scroll the display."

Permalink

"Okay." Read read.

"Almost none of this means anything to me whatsoever."

Permalink

"I have three teams of military personnel, each specialized for a different level of combat. The first is Aurek, for open combat. Their equipment is hardest-hitting and least subtle. Second is Besh, for when the approach must be made more stealthily but there will still be resistance at the target. Third is Cresh, which specializes in operations that are more along the lines of assassinations."

Permalink

"Well, you can't assassinate fairies, but you can incapacitate them, I guess."

Permalink

"How extensively do the various types of fairy differ? Will we need multiple methods of incapacitation?"

Permalink

"We vary a lot. We have all about the same body plan but we have different magic and senses and sizes and there might be some that can take a hit from your glowy thing or something."

Permalink

"There are very few substances in this galaxy which a lightsaber cannot cut. But there is less definite information than I would like to have before sending Cresh in to a situation."

Permalink

"Galaxy?"

Permalink

"We are currently standing on a planet, which is an approximately spherical mass of dirt and miscellaneous metals with a diameter of around twelve thousand five hundred kilometers. A star is a mass of burning plasma between three hundred thousand and two million times larger than this planet. A galaxy is collection of a hundred billion or so such stars."
