"Might be good enough."

After the discussion is over Lucien takes a few people aside and gives them additional jobs, or directs them to help Deet or Vira or Meelia with various tasks. A few are tasked with find more people from their homes with relevant skills.  Flooze and his three amaliens are asked to stick around for Pelape transport. 

One amaleins is given the job of purchasing pocket everythings for the others with his funds. He messages his landlord that he might not be able to pay rent in a few months, depending on what happens.

Eventually most of the group has dispersed, except for Vira who grabs a bag of doodads from Keetim and sticks around with them till Neh and Meow wake-up in evening.

In the meantime, Vira searches on her everything with Pelape for photos of places for Neh to test her tele-portation with.

Amentan astronomy has a lot of focus on potentially habitable exoplanets near and far, for obvious reasons. Pelape digs up a suitable list that has enough information that she can look up the candidates on a more comprehensive database. But to begin with can Meow get to the night side of Katme based only on knowing which star and orbital?

Yeah, that will work.

Neh is hugged by Meow and they sink into the shadows to go there.

After a minute passes, Lucien is worried.

"I don't think this should be taking that long."

"Her travel time is constant though! I'm confused. Maybe she's distracted by how pretty the view is or something?"

"...could be the teleportation isn't truly instantaneous and the travel time scales with distance at multiple light year gaps even if it's not noticeable on a single planet? - or that Katme lacking air is a problem, in which case we'll need an Amentan ship to land there and bail them out."

"It's definitely not the air thing! And also I don't see why she'd be able to do cross this planet jumps in the same amount of time as any other jump and have an issue with any other dist-ance? Could increase very slowly I guess... Would be weird I think, monsters usually can't just do something big to themselves without feeling like it's gonna happen - like trying to lift something heavy. And Meow would have warned him I think."

"Well, uh, let's give it a few more minutes and then maybe Lucien should tell someblue in Chaspanti that they may need a pickup from the nearest landing-capable ship in the system."

Elsewhere:

Meow appears from the shadows with Neh. A wave of cold hits Neh, like it always does when Meow jumps with him. But instead of just being a fully body small shiver type of cold it's way way colder. He freezes up, his heart stops beating. 

He can't think for a minute, but then he can push her thoughts through the sludge of being frozen. He's so so so cold. It's better, at least, then the lava. His fingers, cracking a lil as he moves them, grip tightly to Meow's fur as he asks to go back please please please.

And Meow and him appear back. His body freezes up even more, and he can't think for a bit.

"- there they are - Neh? Meow?"

Meow is fine, but looking worriedly at his popsicled Neh!

Neh is starting to heat up and can think a tiny bit.

The warmth feels good until it feels hot and then it feels way way too hot cause his body is so cold and he still can't move and it's like being trapped in lava again and Meow can't save him and he'll be here forever and and 

His jaw cracks, frozen skin breaking as he tries to scream.

...Pelape has no idea if her first aid kit will be useful at all but she does have one and she goes for it.

Vira takes a moment to put together what's going on, then she quickly goes over and twists his neck, breaking his brittle spine cause of how he's frozen. 

Neh stops being awake.

Which leaves Pelape holding a roll of gauze in one hand and the kit in the other. "Uh. Will he be okay?"

"Yes, he was just frozen, not enough to kill an amalien. He might need to nap for a couple weeks to be better though."

"Okay. Uh, do you have a guess what went wrong or do we need to wait for her to wake up to find out?"

Poke poke.

"She gets a little cold when she teleports I think? And I guess if it's longer it makes her get even colder. Looks cold all the way through, not just on the outside so it's not just Katme being cold."

"I can prolly help her get better faster? At least making it feel less bad for her by putting her in a room that's only a bit warmer than her, not a lot. And maybe using micro-waves or something to make the heating more even."

Lucien is still here! He is not really certain what to do though, and he has discovered that he is the least useful of the group in an emergency.

Pelape puts the gauze away. "Okay, you know more than I do about treating frozen amaliens...

...I guess this means probably this won't work, unless there's a way to keep him warm in transit?"

"I'm pretty sure I can improve on what just happened by inventing things... but I don't know how I could get it to be fast enough it'll be faster then thousands of your ships can search. Maybe if I spend a long time trying but that'll take long all on its own."

"Keeping her warm would slow them down? - Meow looks okay, is there a chance Meow could go alone?"

"I think each jump would drain more heat, so keeping her warm would have to keep up with that."

"I don't think Meow knows how to target places? He was able to find Neh but other than that I don't know of him jumping on his own. I don't think he's smart enough. Also I don't think he'd go places without Neh all that much even if he could."

"If I take your durability to its logical conclusion Neh could... swallow... radioactive metals??"
