Phys-side: I’m still processing that. Numb? Giddy? Can I be both at the same time?
Sys-side: I see no reason why not. Why numb? Why giddy?
Phys-side: Numb because there was nothing to see. Not even a flash. The LVs were here, and then they were gone, and I’ll never see them again. Giddy because it worked. Telemetry is good, speed is nominal, entanglement is nominal, radio communication is nominal, though the rate at which message times are increasing is surprising, though I knew that this would happy. How neat is that?
-Sys-side: Very neat. I feel much the same. I feel numb for the reason I mentioned above. They were here, and then they were gone, and there was no feedback from the action. As planned, we are hogging all of the entanglement bandwidth with communication, some of which you will be receiving on other streams. This is where the numb and the giddy cross, as in some ways, it feels as though they never left (modulo the fact that Dear would almost certainly rather talk via sensorium messages rather than text, but Codrin (Dear’s pet historian) is much suited to words. Giddy, though, because this remains exciting for all of us.

Giddy, though, because this remains exciting for all of us, both here and on the LVs, and already they diverge, already they are no longer the ones who left here, already they are no longer us.
+Phys-side: That’s not something I can picture, but I’ll trust you on that.
+Sys-side: Different worlds, different problems. I must see to writing, Douglas, congratulations once more, and I will stay in contact regarding the LVs and my research.
+Phys-side: Thank you for all your hard work, May Then My Name Die With Me.
+Sys-side: You may call me May Then My Name, now that the hard work is over.
+Phys-side: Thanks! Be well.
+Sys-side: You too.
