[Check-In] Your Enthusiasm is Appreciated

[It isn't too long into the Jaunt before Ryo's excited voice comes through on the network.]

BEST JAUNT EVER!

[And Hajime's far more exhausted mental voice comes in afterwards.]

This is Hajime, we, ah, did that thing where we're both infiltrating and not infiltrating, and there's some kind of space base out here with a lot of aliens bent on conquering Earth to take care of some bioweapon? I just...don't really know what's going on beyond that.

[Ryo cuts in again.]

And we're mantises! Mantis people are normal here! Not many of them, but enough to be normal! IS AMAZING!

And who would I be to deny you an excuse? [Drizzt liked you for a reason, Shiro.] If they will let me touch the controls--but if not, I'd enjoy you teaching me, I would think. It's likely easier than steering a ship of old.

A ship of...? Oh, you mean a sailing ship? On the ocean? Well I'm not sure how they compare - that's not something I've learned - but I think it might have a few more components to it. You're operating on a three-dimensional scale rather than a two-dimensional plane. But it's a lot faster to respond and there are a lot of pieces of the displays to help you figure out what to do.

Let's plan on that, then, when this Jaunt is over! I'll set something up and if I don't reach out to you within 24 hours, you poke me about it, all right? Getting back can be a little hectic.
