Alice Grove MCDLT - February 2017
Zebediah:
Church is bored. "We teleported into space? Ho-hum. Wake me if something interesting happens."
Meanwhile it's clear that Alice and Sedna have never been to space before. Pate too, for that matter, though for some reason he looks frightened while Alice and Sedna seem merely amazed.
brasca:
The reactions of everyone is quite interesting. This is probably the only time Pate has ever been surprised even though he is fully trusting Ardent's magical ability and intended to go orbit. Alice and Sedna are surprised too, but I think it's more by Ardent's ability since they have probably been to space before albeit thousands of years ago. Church appears bored so he probably lacks any sentimentality or imagination. And for Ardent and Gavia this is common place, but he seems more amazed that he upgraded an old space fighter into a teleporting bubble ship. Gavia may be reluctant to look since even though she's longed to go home the most she's powerless to stop Pate and Church from invading.
It appears that the bubble ship cannot teleport blindly. It needs to get into orbit first and Sedna's concern may or may not be justified. On the one hand Ardent magically upgraded a vehicle thousands of years beyond its original abilities, but it quite possibly has limited power which was burned up teleporting into space and they'll either have to wait for it to recharge or Church will have to get out to push.
Skewbrow:
Should they not be floating in zero-g now? (or, more accurately, be in a free fall orbit for the same effect). I guess the ship could still be accelerating up. Don't know how well Newton's second meshes with teleportation :-)
What I find a bit strange is that this party does not carry any luggage. No spare food, water, spare clothes, nothing. Remember how well Sedna and Alice stocked up for the trip across the desert. I guess they don't need to be armed, but it's more like they expect to find the space equivalent of a burger joint sooner rather than later.
cesium133:
When they left for the trip across the desert, Sedna and Alice were planning things. They have less control when they're being forced to act at gunpoint (err... Church-point). So that's probably a reflection of Pate's impulsiveness/lack of planning.
Kugai:
I wonder if Gavia is thinking of shoving Church out theAirlock/Hatch, and would he burn up rentry or just crash land and be annoyed/
And will the ship sound like Majel Barrett or Eddie the Computer?
