nebula 2, morning

[blue_ice]

[ Seto looks tired. Someone's only been having his mandatory sleep and nothing more, and that shows. His frown is etched deeper than usual too. ]

We have to talk about the people we've lost. And I don't mean in a 'let's all gather and mourn' way, though that might be...beneficial to some, and I'm not against the idea.

I mean that I refuse to accept that they're gone forever and there's no way we can see them again.

Remember when we visited the void river, and we were told that our emotions, allegedly, would travel across spacetime and reach the people we've left behind? Remember Diagad, when we walked the void to bring people home? The people we've lost are still out there---they have to be, a small handful have returned, right?

If my suspicions about how this all works are correct, all we need is full control of a voidcraft...and that, of course, is the thus-far insurmountable obstacle. So I'm researching as much as I can when we touch down, and I'd like to ask for your help. If you have any other clues or theories about how reaching our lost allies would be possible. Share, please.

If we can become pilots, we can find the others. I just don't want the connections we've made to disappear.

[Oh, that's... not as bad as she had thought.]

Ah. Well, I suppose it couldn't hurt to get some extra vehicles. In case of emergencies and all.

Are you sure that a voidcraft would be able to reach them though?

no worries <3

[blue_ice]

If this one could reach them in the first place, why not?

I'll figure out how to pilot. There are other void pilots who have much more control over their destination than this train seems to.

Re: no worries <3

[wizard_redfive]

Yeah, but we're not exactly normal Void passengers, are we? None of our worlds are void active, far as I've heard.

So how would we explain our arrival, if we even managed to get the Voidcraft there?

[blue_ice]

Touch down in secret and keep it all under wraps while we find our allies?

Or we could risk the whole first contact drama as a last resort.

[Dairine shakes her head.]

Bad idea. Throwing a new concept like Void travel at an unprepared planet could be devastating for their stability. And our collective health.

[Some places just aren't ready for that yet. Like wizardry or alien life.]

And what if they don't want to come back to the train?

[blue_ice]

Then we let them go...but I just want to see that they're alive and safe.

[wizard_redfive]

...Yeah, I get that.

[Dairine knows that feelings all too well.]

Alright. I'm willing to lend a hand in getting this new vehicle. Just don't get your hopes up, OK?

[It was quite possible that the train or some other entity might stop them before they even begin.]

[blue_ice]

Thank you. That's all I ask.

We'll probably have to try a few plans before this works.

[wizard_redfive]

No kidding. Where are we even going to put a Voidcraft?

[blue_ice]

...we might have to leave, but the challenge there would be untethering and retethering.

[wizard_redfive]

Really? Somehow I feel like just asking the train for a hangar would be easier.
