I just figured we could use Lunar Healing Escalation on the thing and put Artemis on it, there has to be a manual for those things laying around the place somewhere. And that's discounting the possibility of the people here knowing how to fix them themselves. Though I wouldn't want to rip a functioning one out to replace a broken one, seems like a good way to break the working one
Yeah, for inter-system distances, the only real limiting factor is figuring out where you're going and putting that into the spell calculation. Unless you're Rincewind, the only time power becomes a factor is when you are traveling between systems. The TSAB only has ships (other than for their military applications) because traveling purely by teleport between, say, Midchilda and Earth, would be a bit like backpacking from Cape Town, South Affrica to Magadan, Russia, without hitch hiking.
There's this little thing called Entropy that's been working on these systems for a few thousand years that might throw a wrench into just magicking everything fixed, and while I like Artemis, he was still an apprentice at the fall, and at least some of the people we are going to be waking up are likely decades, if not centuries-long experts in their fields.
I'm mostly worried about power requirements. Each Senshi is tapped straight into the soul of a planet, or something even bigger in Usagi's case. The TSAB have fully functional interstellar magi-tech infrastructure and reactors and stuff. Artemis and Luna are comparatively in a cave with a box of scraps, they can manage the Moon, but that's only 240,000-ish miles away while Mercury is an average of 48 million miles away.
Same thing though. Setting up the teleport system is tapping the system into the power of the planet.
It could be all those ghosts Mercury used to beat people up not too long ago. Because Mercury is haunted. The whole thing. All of it. That roof may have legitimately been one giant dream catcher but for souls.
What?
My thought was that it's directly tied into the planetary mana tap. It reactivated when Ami figured out the first of her spells dealing with terraforming, and responds directly to her will after all.
Back during the Cendrellion raid. The Mercury Weather spell.
I think it was during her breakdown after being hit with the glamour disruptor during the Cendrellion raid with MCAT
It actually opened that fight. Right at the beginning long before she got hit with that. After Venus fired her laser.
It's a precursor fallout shelter, built with long term habitation in mind (hydroponics aren't worth the sacrificed fridge space if you're not planning on staying long enough to grow plants), and designed by the people who would be staying in it.
Is it? It's great if it is, but I don't recall that. And even if it is that doesn't mean the system can handle channeling enough of that power to make interplanetary jumps.
I'm not saying that you're assuming everything will be working. I guess we just have completely different baseline expectations about how comfortable this place is and we won't know who's right until we dig the place up.
That's literally what an interplanetary teleport is designed for?
Personally I'm kind of expecting something like the bunkers from the Zero Escape series.
Imagine if they didn't and all of them were signing up for a 2 week test of the system. Imagine all of them getting up and getting the Dave Lister Treatment.
Fate can directly translocate to other planets in the dimensional sea so its within the ability of a single, if relatively powerful mage.
At least they knew they were in suspended animation, unlike the pizza guy who accidentally fell into one.
Since when was our jury-rigged system specifically an inter-planetary teleport system? I thought it was just a teleport system Luna and Artemis built that only recently did anything beyond Earth. I'm not saying it definitely can't go to Mercury, I'm just wondering where your confidence that it definitely can is coming from.
If it can reach the moon, it is now a jury rigged interplanetary teleport. They now have access to Mercury tech as well as the Moon engineering to make not jury rigged teleports.
Okay, if you're using that definition then the reasoning in your last post is pretty circular.
If I build a car in my garage from scraps and drive it down the street to the supermarket that's pretty cool, but it doesn't mean I can trust it on a road trip across the country to Disney Land.
Okay, I guess we're looking for Sailor Saturn after all.
To set a good example for people who can actually be hurt by rocks and steel falling on their heads, or what?
Usagi: in case we get audited! And being a good example and stuff. Plus Luna and Mini would give me a sad look if I got hurt.
