[Video: Saturday, Week 66] Starships were meant to fly:

[The video feed that pops up on Saturday morning features a Kaidan that's shorn of the assholerycool rigidity that's been a facet of his behaviour for the course of the latest round of reality shenanigans. Hand rubbing sheepishly at the nape of his neck, he has a question:]

Ah... so this is probably a weird question to be asking, but does anyone know if there are any spaceflight-capable ships on the planet? Or even ones that could be repaired?

I don't need heavy FTL, but something that can handle in-system would be good.

And, ah, I know about the satellite defence grid. I'm also working on plans to see if there's a way around it if anyone has suggestions.

Kerra and I swiped a two person fighter in the past, if you've got a plan for the defence grid.

And the nearest bar. Meet you in ten?

Still in ten, then.

[Of course he has beer.]

Probably better to keep this away from my angry drunks anyway.

If you do not require a mortal to be a passenger, I can fly through open space on my own. Or I can bring the Lady Sif, she would manage just as well as I, though she cannot fly of her own power.

Very well! I shall be there shortly.

[Very shortly. Because he'll fly. He'll probably beat Wes. He may even beat Tony.]

You planning on leaving us, Major?
galacticheroine: (reasonably happy)

[personal profile] galacticheroine 2014-07-22 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
Hell yeah, I do.

I wish. [Though he'd rather have a train.]

Are you one of the technical people?

Someone suggested I find certain people. And you were talking about spaceships, not magical horses...

You're not Stark, obviously from what you just said. Are you Alenko or Skywalker?

I'm new, and frankly, I think Poseidon's hospitality could use some work. But that aside, I'm Schwanhelt Bulge.

I don't have any idea how much help this would be. I am not an engineer myself, just a platoon captain.

But just before... ending up here, we were fighting a force from the Alfort galaxy, which was in another dimension. They entered our dimension with their ships using what we called white holes to puncture between the dimensions. I don't know how they did it, and only observed the process from the outside, but I understand that someone who's actually seen trans-dimensional technology working is rare here.

That ship, Salvation, she jumps dimensions?

I'm pretty sure the engineers knew a little more from analyzing the device we were given to boost our weapons to attack their ships.

You can talk to the ship? [He heard the other names, so is probably going to look for them, too. He's just not used to being able to talk to a ship. There's a computer on Big One that is voice interactive, but you don't chat with it.]

Dimensions, I understand. I've not seen time travel done deliberately. Some regions of space knot things up pretty well, and force time jumps. I can see this is going to a very interesting place to live.

I'm not sure of all the causes of them back home, but they seemed to crop up unexpectedly from time to time. We've had to rescue a lot of trains downed from running through them.

I think I'll have to add 'talking to a ship' to my list of new experiences to seek out. I'm as anxious for answers as anyone who's been here longer.

I don't know why the knots work the way they do. I thought it had something to do with gravity, but mostly we pay attention to them to avoid them. [Except when they have to go in to rescue another train.]

The leader of the Alfort fleet kept accusing us of doing something to her home dimension, but I have no idea what she meant. As far as I know, they came to us first.

Even back home we'd have a lot to talk about. I only ever personally met one of them, and she died. [It does make him thoughtful though.] If there is some damage to space that brought me here, like the rest of you, maybe someone else from home was affected, too. [It would be nice if it was an engineer. He isn't sure how they'd handle any of the Alfort people. Liffel was just a faceless soldier in their army.]

I'll watch for them. Most of them, as far as I could tell, were plant people, specifically women.

Get Thor to play croquet with them.

Or we could work out something more technical. I have a few thoughts.

Street parking it is. I'll be there in a few.
