go find your test blight

And the wind quiets to an eerie still.

The ticking below is still going.

"...without doing the slates thing?"

After few seconds of still silence, Link says, "We'll come back later."

"Okay."

Is the shuttle recoverable or did the divine beast manage to swat it out of the sky while it was hovering idle?

Assuming the idle mode has any sort of turbulence correction, it's wherever they left it, plus or minus a bit of drift from the residual winds generated by Vah Medoh earlier.

Cam sets up the camera situation and calls down the shuttle.

They're not impeded from leaving.

Once they're boarded, Link says, "I can bait a Blight out while you kill it from a distance."

"Sounds good to me."

"Hyrule Forest is on the way. Drop one of your... flying constructs in when we pass?"

"A drone? What for, what should it do?"

"See if anything stops dropping in through the top. Will it appear if you conjure the sword's surroundings?"

"The drone? Probably! Do you want it to be big enough to pick up a sword?"

"Yes. But there's probably a Lynel or worse on top of it."

"What's a Lynel?"

"Fire-breathing horse-man monsters." He hefts his giant mace. "Took this off one."

"Wow. Okay, I'll try to make a drone that's fast enough to grab it and go if it spots the sword but I can't guarantee handling that from a distance."

"I don't expect that to work but the information will be useful."

"How fast are lynels, what's the range on the fire?"

"...As fast as a horse? Fire goes a hundred feet. Some of them shoot arrows. It might be holding the sword. But it was just an example."

"Are they, like, people?"

"What does that mean?"

"Do they think, are they smart, can they talk..."

"...All creatures think? They can't talk."

"How confident are you that they don't just speak some other language, how good is their tool use, do they seem strategic..."
