Stones and bramble! They’ve never taken out a relay pod in orbit before. Someone really doesn’t want us talking to anyone on the ground.

“Stones and bramble?” Interesting that a space based culture would use that as a curse.

You’ve been tripped and caught by thorns? They’re a common obstacle on paths. Metaphorically, blocking The Way to Enlightenment. We have experienced them because it's customary to make a pilgrimage to walk under an open sky at least once in our lives. An unspoken obligation of the gentry is to ensure all of their tenants, even those on Basic, get the chance. Those trips are usually pretty safe and easy. But getting one’s true measure means taking a rougher path, with friends, or course. Unfortunately, visiting Terra’s become problematic. Even the beach party’s been cancelled.

Beach party? Oh, yeah. That one I was at- Hey! That agent of yours. The really good swimmer that kept bringing up seafood to grill. I was never introduced. Do you have her cell phone number?

Yè-Xiàn
I wasn’t here for that, but… Iola Kerké? I should have it. Why?

Ace
I hope she has a good text messaging plan. See if you can get a good fix on one of those dead satellites.

If we can’t get to a satellite, we bring a satellite to us.
