(She wishes Rids and Uma were here. They would be so much better at this than her, and it'd be such a treat for them. She would have loved to have seen them get to experience it, watch them ask the questions she won't think of on her own and instead of getting any of that she's in over her head in a quite serious situation and knowing they're doing well where they are doesn't help when she needs them here -)

(They aren't here. She is. All she can do is her best.)

She takes a deep, shaky breath. "This is... quite unlike every ship I've ever been on." 

Permalink

"What, uh, technological level, are you coming from? Like... nonmagical electricity use yes or no."

Permalink

"We don't have that anywhere I've been or heard of." She looks up at the ceiling light fixutres. "...are those not magical, then? The light is so regular."

Permalink

"The making is magical, the made things are not. Though I can do stuff you couldn't manufacture per se."

Permalink

Her eyebrows go up. "Those aren't magical?" She points at the screens. 

Permalink

"They are not!"

Permalink

She doesn't think he's lying and it would be a weird thing to lie about but it's still a bit difficult to believe! (Her fingers brush her coins.)

"What is it for?" There's text she can't read, but it's mostly images that don't quite make sense to her either.

"I mentioned we can see pictures of the outside to see if starlight has ever reached where we're at? It, uh, kinda looks like the nearest star is maybe..." He appears an object and looks at the light it projects in midair. "...several million light years away," he concludes.

Permalink

She looks curiously at the apparition. "A light year is a unit of distance?" 

Permalink

"The distance light can travel in one year. My world's humans' planet of origin is about eight light-minutes away from its sun, for comparison."

Permalink

"...oh."

She thinks about this for a moment. "Well. Even if we're still in the Material, I suppose this means we can't return to Golarion via intraplanar means?"  A lifetime of Teleport castings wouldn't get them that far. 

Permalink

"You know better than I what those means are."

Permalink

"I can cast Teleport a few times a day, but the range is only about a thousand miles. It's faster than any non-magical transport at home, but won't help us here." 

Sigh. "I can do a Plane Shift, but... that'll be trickier." She doesn't have a very wide selection of forks, and if she's right about what happened being a god intervening, she's not sure it'd be a good idea to bring him to Nirvana or Elysium. And her other two options are... variously inconvenient.

"Trickier how?"

Permalink

"You can't Plane Shift to the plane you're on, it regularly misses its destination by hundreds of miles," (she momentarily looks quite sad) "and you can only Plane Shift to a plane you have an attuned object for. ...I have a few, but none of them seem like great options. And also I won't be able to even try until sunrise, I don't have it today."

"Sunrise, you say."

She takes a deep breath. "...give me a few moments, please." 

Permalink

And then she clasps her hands together and closes her eyes.

Permalink

Sure. He will investigate the astronomical properties of Extremely Deep Space.

Kofusachi - I'm very far from home. Much further than I had thought it was possible to be on this plane. 

I don't know if You can hear me and don't expect to find out until tomorrow, but - I don't think there's anything I can do to spread prosperity out here. So I am going to try and get back, unless my family tells me not to - or You do, obviously.

Oh, that's a mildly unusual prayer, what's - 

Permalink

- one of His clerics is WHERE???

Greetings, Otolmens! So, quick question regarding this intervention right here...
