Rae laugh-sobs again, faintly, as she wipes hard at her eyes.
SG: You'll have plenty of time SG: And probably plenty of asparagus, too SG: The gardens are looking good SG: Everything's green again
It's so hard to stay calm, with her stomach still in knots, her breathing still uneven. After so long, Autor is right there on the other side of the screen. So close, and still so far. Could she follow that signal to its source, as she had tried to follow Bo's message on the globenet back to its source, those years ago? That was just through Otherspace; this would be through Milliways' own weird space and then to another world, using tech from a completely different world. And there was no Aimil here to break the connection if something went wrong.
Some of her misery leaches through.
SG: Autor, you must come back SG: Everyone has been so worried
With good reason, it turned out. Rae just wants to hug him, to hold him and know he's there and alive and still Autor.
