Nod nod. "Safer if no one finds out." Sigh. "One of the things Felix's dimension can do is supply energy because in there fire doesn't default to consume fuel and nearly any dimension can produce air and water for terraforming, but I suppose all of those would be noticeable?"

"If someone looked closely, yeah. Though if they're looking that closely you already have a problem, if you hide it as conventional terraforming or power generation and buy at least some supplies."

"One of Felix's ideas was 'discovering' underground water reservoirs."

"Those're a known thing, actually, it just hasn't been worth anybody's while to pump them up in terraforming quantities. Somebody might notice that the water's still there, but you can set it up so it's less likely."

"Yup. Or maybe bribe people into registering a false discovery. Well, one might suppose that people wouldn't ask too many questions if a lake or ocean rose up a bit."

"Well, they might, but so long as they aren't asking them of you it shouldn't be a problem."

Nod nod. "And the beauty of the thing is how secret the entire operation can be made. Felix could go to a city miles away from a lake, set a section of pocket dimension that pours water into a lake or river and no one would even have a way to figure out he is responsible."

"Yeah, exactly."

"Do you have plans to do anything interesting with yours?"

"Not especially, yet. I want to have a better idea of what it can and can't do, first."

Nod nod. "You're likely to at least be able to do more art with it."

"Yes. And I think it'll duplicate the house for me, if I want it to."

"Cool." Trevor thinks. "Just to be sure, any signs of people in there?"

"Not at all, and I'd know if there were. I could even sense Daisy, which is - unusual, to say the least." Handsqueeze.

Aww. "Is there anything else to discuss?"

"I don't think so. I'm sure Daisy's asked if there's anything you need while you're here."

"She did." Trevor smiles at Daisy. "We don't really need anything. We actually would rather offer you things, because of the inconvenience of dealing with clueless aliens."

"Daisy'd have more to say about that than I would - Love?"

"There's nothing we really need - well, help with the garden, but if I want to hire another droid I'll do that in town, definitely don't make one." She considers. "Generator upgrade?"

"I could install that, sure."

Handsqueeze. "And a washing machine, and I'll think about what else I might want."

"Cool. Don't hesitate to ask for anything fancy, Felix is only constrained by volume."

She nods. "We really are pretty comfortably set up, though. Mm - how's your tea supply doing?"

"That could use topping up, yeah."

"Splendid."
