"Well, I figured Tarvek and Gil would have found me by now, and they need the practice working together, so I am content to wait. So long as they don't kill each other without me there to referee, there is no law of physics those two couldn't bend to their will...if only they would put their devious minds to a common goal, rather than to bickering."
Not that there were many laws of physics that could stand up to her but that was neither here nor there.
"Anyway, most people I've met seem content enough to be here, once they've settled in. For me... there is so much technology I've never seen before. Even if they wont let me near the engines and stopped me from taking apart the walls, there is still so much to LEARN! I mean look here," she waved to the dolphins. "Dolphins. On a dirigible. But however they're adapted.... I've yet to be able to fathom," she whispered, not intending the pun.
"I mean, if this were back at the university or on Castle Wulfenbach, I'd expect them to have suits to keep them moist and a way to travel the ship, or devices to help them speak human... but here... as far as I can tell.... they're just dolphins. I've never seen a pure dolphin before! Can you just imagine? A science so strong it is indistinguishable from nature? I mean, even human constructs tend to have stitching, or mismatched eyes or... something... that shows you they weren't born naturally. But these... whatever was done to them... seamless. Flawless." No, it has not occurred to her that they were just... dolphins.
She glanced back. "Yeah, I met someone and he thought it would be more useful to build a pen. I did offer him a nice death ray, can never have too many of those, but he preferred a pen that changed ink depending on your mood. I warned him it would have a slow learning curve, but he still seemed so surprised when it asked him his mood..."
