hard agree, especially with the fact she was ready to bring up this rather intimately familiar process of leaving dirtball. its possible she's been wishing to move away for some time now. not to mention, despite her hostility, she probably acknowledges bip is a sapient being stranded and critically wounded in hostile land with no way out

2024-03-07 23:57:44 +0000 UTCCodes (meaning programs and information shared between spacecraft) are needed for the same reason you need a flight plan when you're flying an aircraft. Other spacecraft in the area need to know where you are and your trajectory so they don't collide with you. Wormhole gates are especially protected because they are a huge peice of expensive infrastructure that can collapse dramatically and upon failure can strand a region of interstellar space from shipment routes. They do in fact have weapons, mostly to defend against spacejunk and micrometeorites but if there is a spacecraft on a dangerous collision course the wormhole authorities might use the weapons on it (if there is a crew, hopefully after crew evacuation, but uh... Shit happens). Governments are also absolutely using these codes to keep track of citizens and who is entering their region of space. A wormhole gate is essentially an international airport. Trying to get around security measures or fake documentation is generally super illegal.

2024-03-07 19:45:32 +0000 UTCWhy are codes and things needed in order to get to the wormhole gate?, do you think governments use the gates to keep track on their citizens? Also what happens if you tried to get around the codes and security measures on the gate? Would the gatemasters turn it off? Do they have weapons or something?

2024-03-07 18:49:33 +0000 UTCSomeone mentioned on the last page that Idrisah is maybe not as against this as she seems... As someone with plenty of my own anxiety, this definitely feels kind of like she's bringing up all the concerning issues...because somewhere in there she wants to be convinced.
