If this magic works the way it was described, somebody should be able to hear me right now. [though the voice of the young lady that's coming through sounds incredibly skeptical about this entire endeavor.] If you can, and you can actually understand me, I want you to tell me whether 8,000 "creds" is a lot of money around here, and what I can do to get it. I can't believe your merchants don't take something as simple as gold for war supplies.

[there's ambient noise for a while, and some confused sounds from somebody who has obviously never seen, much less used, an omni-tool before. eventually she groans in exasperation.]

My sword's been stolen from me and you expect me to do repairs to survive. This is entirely unacceptable.

I'm not chicken!

[okay, she's kind of a lot scared of it. what if Rachel gets her body and her mind with it? or what if Rachel is better at being her than she herself is? but also it's really, really weird to think about.]

It's just... [gods, here comes a terrible lie of an excuse.] Magic and I have never really gotten along!

I told you, it's not magic. It's science. And nothing would even happen to you! If anything, I'm the one taking a risk here. I mean, what if I'm allergic to you? Eugh, not doing the whole DNA-burping gig again, or whatever Ax called it.

Then maybe you shouldn't do it at all! Proper ladies don't burp anyway, warriors or not.

Uh...yeah, it's not exactly the kind of burping you're thinking of. And please. What good do you think being a proper lady is going to do you here? I mean, look around. This isn't exactly high society.

Which is exactly why proper ladies are so necessary! People like me are the last stronghold of class and refinement in places like this. But I wouldn't expect you to understand that.
