"My primary worry is risk to Samaria, not risk to us. It's plausible that studying the weapons remotely when you call down lightning strikes will let us think of a way to disable them, though teleporting them off might be quite feasible if they aren't too big."

"I don't know how big they are but it's another thing I could probably find out by going back. - I could take pictures, probably."

*Do you think you could bring arbitrary scanning tech?"

Permalink

"I don't know how arbitrary scanning tech gets, but possibly."

Permalink

"If we can just load you up with sensors that you can point at the weapons that might be almost as good as being able to take the ship apart."

Permalink

"I can almost certainly do that."

Permalink

"Do you think it's doable to have someone inside Jovah pointing sensors at the weapons and someone outside causing them to be fired?"

"I don't see why not."

Lucien is very optimistic about this plan!

Over the course of the next two weeks, more Amalien scientists warp in to study Jovah's weapons.

Isabella finds a little island where nobody will notice her calling down thunderbolt after thunderbolt.

After a hard day at work she is ambushed by a particularly excited Amalien. The Amalien stares at her for a second.

"Woah, your wings are really pretty!"

Permalink

"Thank you."

Permalink

"Can I look at their insides?" she asks, with all the eagerness of someone who has a scalpel ready to go.

Permalink

"No!"

Permalink

"Why not?"

Permalink

"I don't want you to handle me!"

Permalink

"Huh?"

Permalink

"Just - leave all my body parts alone."

Permalink

"I won't touch them! Just want to take pic-tures."

Permalink

"Of the insides?!"

Permalink

"Yeah!"

She is glad to see she is being understood.

Permalink

"No. Stay away from me."

Permalink

Fine! Maybe someone else on this planet will let her look at their wings?

Permalink

That's going to depend really heavily on how she phrases it.
