[textExcuse me for what may be an interruption, but I've finally gotten my helpmate to interface with this device, and I was hoping someone could tell me where I am? Did we tunnel? Is that why I'm so disoriented? I'm sorry, I've just never traveled FTL before ( Read more... )

I thought traveling faster than light was impossible.

No one's thought that for 500 years since the tunnel drive was invented.

I've never heard of the tunnel dive before.

Maa, why do you need to travel faster than light anyhow? It seems useless. You can get anywhere in the world in a day with an airplane.

[Lika is starting to get the hint that she might, possibly, not be in Kansas anymore.]

It's the only useful way to get to other solar systems.

[Wait, a day?]

What planet is so big that it takes a whole day to go somewhere on it?

Solar systems? In space?

[Because it's text, Akagi will have to imagine Lika's "are you a moron?" expression and tone of voice.]

Yes.

[And Lika will have to imagine Akagi's creepy little chuckle.]

Heeeeh, that makes much more sense. What planet are you from, Miss?

[And his disturbingly hot bishonen voice.]

I'm from Titan.

You?

I've never heard of Titan. I'm from Earth.

Titan is a moon of Saturn.

"Earth?" You mean Tellus?

I mean Earth.

To clarify, we are talking about the third world out from Sol, Homeworld of humankind?

[text] nantokanare March 19 2009, 05:29:59 UTC
What's Sol? I thought the Homeworld of humankind was Earth.

Sol is the sun of the human Homeworld. No one's called the planet "Earth" for centuries. My helpmate had to look up the word.
