[Cheng himself was more than used to foraging, scavenging and otherwise having to limit food to qualities most regular people would find heartbreakingly small. He was curious about the squirrelling away of the sweets though.]

Tohya. May I ask what you are doing with those?

[limit_of_fate]

Calories. I'm pretty sure the daily rations have enough nutriants. Having some calories around could help in an emergency, or just help to take some of the edge off if our rations get smaller.

[vjockey]

Ah... I felt it might be something like that. Though I would suggest getting a little more... merely to be on the safe side.

[limit_of_fate]

I intend to get as much as I can.

Do we have anyone who's very experienced with teleporters? I'd rather not use one installed by an amateur, especially if there are any flies around.

Fortunately, we don't have to worry about that much. The ship has a large number of remote teleportation relay stations which are uninstalled. That's how we have a teleporter on the Tower, and presumably the Nirvana and the Ptolomeios as well, but I haven't ever used those.

But I don't really see any reason why they couldn't be installed inside the White Chalice. As far as I know all they require is a power source, an area large enough to hold the station and to be within range of the central hub.

Well, that's reassuring. Still, it's probably best to test them first on a sack of potatoes or something like that, just to make sure everything works correctly.

You are quite the pessimist. You know people use these teleporters everyday right? This isn't like a bad old science fiction story. The teleporters don't accidentally fuse you with whatever random lifeform happens to be on them. If that were the case we'd all be giant bacteria monsters by now.
