⚍⚍ INCOMING TRANSMISSION ⚎⚎

Sentients of this vessel: I am Zhou, envoy of Caducus Primary. Your current trajectory predicts your arrival shortly, and as such, we have prepared a generous welcome for you. All we ask is that you show the same kindness once you are here. As a token of hospitality, I extend an invitation for you to ask any one personal question — past, present, or future. It will be given an answer.

We, of Caducus Primary, recognize the value of all things no matter their fragile nature. We anticipate your approach with great happiness.

⚍⚍ END TRANSMISSION ⚎⚎

[ Ask whatever you might of Zhou, but keep in mind that it is only one question per person. Questions about Caducus Primary do not apply toward the one question, though they will still be answered. ]

So, can you tell the future, then?

[Jacky's had some experience with 'fortune tellers', and was taught how to con with the best of them, but. Well. She's in a ship moving through the stars, where people can talk to each other practically face to face from miles away so. Might be worth trying, then...]

...Bollocks, I just wasted m'question, didn't I.

[savrou_npc]

Those questions are not the questions I mean. The future is sometimes as clear as the very words we speak. [ And other times... Well. ] You may still ask anything of me.

[intherigging]

I just... I just want to know if I'll get home. If I'll ever see my friends and my Jaimy ever again. [She laughed, a little watery.] I mean, I've always gotten back before, but I'm further out than I've ever been before....

If you can't tell me that, could you just...could you just let me know they're all right? The last time Jaimy thought I was dead, he went a bit...mad.
