TLV - Admiral Requests
Post your requests to the Admiral below (and also a note if you would specifically like that request to be rejected), and we will get to them in a timely manner. All Admiral requests (with the exception of Inmate resurrections) must go through this post, and their approval cannot be handwaved. Additionally, requests will only be granted to Wardens.
Unless otherwise specifically noted, all threads on this post are considered to be Private.
Though the Barge does not speak in any traditional way and is not reachable by communicator, it is sentient, and characters occasionally reach out to it via tapping on walls in Morse Code, spelling out messages in alphabet-letter fridge magnets, and other creative methods; if your character decides to try this, those messages may be dropped here as well!
You thought she was done, And Yet:
... Did everyone make it back from those other ships, at the beginning of the month? Are-
[She takes a breath, sighs out the exhale.]
Would anyone have been kept on those ships, or are they gone some other way? And- can they be checked on, if they aren't on another ship?

[Whether this condition was imposed by the Admiral or the other Officers, or both, he does not specify.]
However, in the normal course of transdimensional voyages such as these, sometimes passengers - slip. You could consider it...a high energy state, balanced at the top of a hill, where the hill is our local warp of the etheric manifold outside of their normal universe. It's very easy to roll back. In those circumstances, sometimes it is possible for those aboard with related abilities or tech to reach the former passenger, sometimes not, but I myself cannot.

So - if I were to run the sort of wizardry I'm used to, that could track someone's location across universes... would I need to be in a specific part of the ship to run it? Or would that not be a factor?
no subject
But I do wish you the very best of luck.

[She's only asking it out of habit; it's clear that she's going to go through with it anyway.]
Thanks.
[Then:]
... You won't need me to tell you to know what the results are, will you?
[Will you be watching, is what she means.]

Let me put it this way, petal. You need a very different sort of radio to contact your friend across town, than you do to contact Mars from Earth. But radio can do it, theoretically. Depending on where the planets are in their orbits, the signal lag might be as little three minutes, or as much as twenty minutes. And sometimes it's not possible to communicate by radio after all, because the screaming nuclear sun is in the way.
It's not an issue of time delay from here, but it is an issue of signal decay, and variable relational geometry, barriers and event horizons and competing signals and noise and interference.
And I must confess I'm not planning to scrutinize your attempts with a particularly high tier of attention, as I generally have every confidence in the competence of my wardens, so please don't do anything too insane, like build an actual radio with stolen parts you don't understand.
[Mister Eiffel.]
But you know how to get my ear if you need me.

The remark about the stolen radio does make her snort, though
briefly overshadowing the point about competence.]Yeeah, that sort of impulse planning isn't my department.
[Though at least that one incident with the superegg hadn't been entirely Kit's fault either.]
Gotcha. Will do.
[And Nita signs off.]
