A-249: Spanial

Jennie
Jennie responds, “I’m not an astrophysicist, but basically a ship’s FTL engines push us into hyperspace and somehow move us along in there. Massive objects in normal space cast a gravitational shadow into hyperspace. To get out of hyperspace at the other end you basically have to drive the ship into a gravitational shadow of a massive object. If there’s no object, or if you miss, then you don’t come out.
“Ships getting lost in hyperspace, never emerging from jump, it isn’t something that happens often, and you don’t hear much about it when it does, but it happens. In this line of work, jumping around between poorly mapped locations, it’s a lot riskier than a bulk freighter running an established trade route.”
Half Egg
Cool.
She can do that, it will take a little time the following Cycle (Lia Day 49)

Green Shift
Mocking up her fake egg findings.
When you say reviewing the flight module, is that back to the study she was doing previously?
Blue Shift
Jewelry inspection. We can say she does that. Perhaps give me a roll for the whole lot; the better she does the more and valuable resale bits? Unless you’d like to be more specific and roll for a number of individual bits?
Lia Day 50
Red Shift
Sleep.
Green Shift
Now what?
(She has several cycles of travel ahead of her, so I’m thinking we’ll deal with all the specifics we want to deal with, then skip forwards if we run out.)
Lia ponders what Jennie’s saying for a bit.
“Based on what you’re telling me, I’d say you’re doing an amazing job under difficult circumstances.”
She gives her a smile.
“Far be it for me to advise against over-thinking but in this situation, I think the positive outweighs the negative.”
Yes, back to original study. She hasn’t done it for a while so can’t hurt to touch up her newly acquired familiarity.
Nah we can do it generally. 10 vs 14 for Jeweler. Weirdly, another 10 vs 13 for Connoisseur (Jewellery) if that’s relevant. Are there any particularly nice pieces or gems?
Apart from revisiting the metal ingots, is there anything else on her original to do list? If so, she’ll spend time on that’s first. Otherwise it’ll just be socialising and working on her hobby projects.
