Mist's Jumps Part 48 (Patreon)

Selena glanced away from the ocean and over at Mist. “Is there a reason we’re out here rather than at the party watching all of the girls fuck like rabbits?”

“Officially, I’m trying to avoid having the party crashed by dark wizards,” Mist admitted with a touch of annoyance as he thought about the insane number of dark wizard attacks he’d had to deal with over the last week.

“Unofficially?”

“I’m just trying to figure out what to do about the island where I’ve been dumping the dark wizards.”

“I thought you were going to have Arcturus take charge of the place then send it back in time, changed your mind?”

“Maybe, that was before my duplicates dumped 2,978 dark wizards…” he trailed off as one of his duplicates got attacked by twenty seven dark wizards when he came out of Gringotts with Zelena who was the ‘local’ Girl That Lived. “Make that 3,005 dark wizards.”

“You’re not having much luck with your recruiting missions are you?” Selena asked with a touch of concern.

“The recruiting is going fine, over 163 different versions of Hermione Granger recruited, 189 of her sisters recruited, twelve alternate versions of myself or rather Harry that inherited Lily’s intelligence to a scary degree, 128 Girls that Lived that are hot as hell, intelligent and magical powerhouses and over 9,000 muggleborn that are the cream of the crop we recruited from America and various other places that wanted a chance to learn in a top rate school.”

“Did you even bother recruiting any purebloods?”

“Various versions of Tonks, Sirius, McGonagall, Amelia and Susan Bones, Bill, Charlie, Ginny, Fred and George Weasley and a large number of Luna Lovegoods. Fred and George have some really hot female alternates.”

“Let me guess, they’re rather naughty?” Selena asked in amusement.

“It’s not like Sin wouldn’t have gotten to them eventually,” Mist replied absently as he stared out at the ocean.

“Probably, how many of the muggleborn do you think you can convince to go with Arcturus?”

“No idea, most of them like modern amenities and have families that they want to get back to but we should be able to bribe most of them into donating blood to make mirrors. As long as we can get a couple thousand mirrors, they should be fine.”

Selena frowned as she considered the eventual genetics of the world they wanted to play with. “That’s still a bit small but I guess it works.”

Mist shrugged. “Considering we can have Amelia and Amy sort through everyone’s genetics for junk genes and fix them, it shouldn’t be that bad.”

“What are you thinking for bribery?” Selena asked with amusement.

“Use of the tweaked Loliblade to boost their appearance and restore their youth or having someone use upgrade on them to boost their magic or general stats. We’re not exactly spoiled for choice on things we can offer people.”

“True, are you planning on sending some mirrors to your world?”

“Probably, we should be able to bribe the various Aes Sedai with having children as long as they don’t have to carry them to term. Between our various skill books and the school, we should be able to train most talents or at least the various talents we know about…” Mist trailed off as a goblin and an unfamiliar yet extremely cute half naked eleven year old girl with red hair appeared out of thin air about ten feet from them. He glanced at the girl’s sheer red silk skirt then at her suitcase with a sense of unease. “Yes?”

The goblin nodded his head slightly. “My apologies for arriving unannounced but our owls couldn’t reach you.”

“It happens, what do you need?” Mist asked warily.

“Your signature or rather your guardian’s signature on Eliza’s marriage contract.”

“Marriage contract?” Selena asked with a raised eyebrow as she looked the rather attractive girl over.

The goblin nodded. “A century ago, Mr. Potter’s family signed a magical contract with the Ad,” the goblin hesitated then continued, “with Eliza’s family for various goods and services with the agreement that the families would be joined in marriage.”

“Ah, in that case, we should probably talk to my parents.” Mist sent a mental message to the local Lily. ‘I’m on the beach, a goblin just showed up with a girl that I’m supposed to marry, can you grab James?’

Lily jumped slightly then sent a mental reply, ‘Shit, I was hoping that wouldn’t come up for a while. I’ll be there as soon as I pull James away from the pack of redheads he’s talking to.’

‘Best of luck, we’ll be here.’ Mist said, “They’re on their way.”

Eliza smiled showing off nice white teeth. “Good. We’re going to have so much fun.”

“Just out of curiosity what are you expecting out of a husband?” Selena asked warily.

Eliza turned to look at Selena. “Someone to take a belt to my behind, chain me to a bed and fuck me silly while everyone watches.” She giggled. “We’re going to have so much fun together, I’ve got a rack, pliers and healing potions.”

‘Great, shoot me now, she’s a masochist.’ He wasn’t terribly surprised that she’d ended up nuts considering the flaw he’d picked up but he’d been hoping for an evil bitch that he could toss in a stasis chamber, not a cheerful very underaged masochist. He mentally pushed his timetable for finishing the jump up as he really didn’t want to deal with an eleven year old nutcase. “I see.”

Selena had to resist the urge to laugh at the rather green look on Mist’s face. She had a feeling they’d be jumping as soon as Mist could make the mirrors and toss everyone on the other island back in time. ‘Maybe Sin can straighten the girl out.’ She shook her head as she realized that Sin would probably just give the girl regeneration then have fun with her.

Raven smiled as she looked up from her book as Mist dark orbed near the beach towel she was lying on then ducked behind her beach umbrella. “Are you still hiding from the little rugrat?”

Mist sighed. “She wanted my help making a spellbook out of her flesh and bones.”

Raven blinked. “What?”

“Sin gave her regeneration, hoping that it would help mitigate her mental issues, if anything it’s just made it worse.”

Raven winced. “It wouldn’t be so bad if she wasn’t so cheerful about it, how long until we can jump?”

“Technically, I’d just have to destroy the ring but I want to finish the mirrors for Arcturus and drop him and his friends in the past on another world then take a look at the result before we jump.”

“In other words, this is almost the end of our vacation isn’t it?” Raven asked as Kara and Starfire flew down for a landing.

“Nothing lasts forever,” Kara agreed.

“Nah, that’s what duplicates are for,” Starfire replied as she flopped down next to Raven.

“Nothing like being in two places at once or twenty,” Mist agreed as one of his duplicates finished moving the elven version of his island to a snowglobe so that he could relocate it to his world while another five worked on the design for the mirrors he was going to give Arcturus to help his group maintain a viable population.

Raven smiled as she adjusted so she could use Starfire’s shoulder as a pillow. “Let me know when you’re done setting up Arcturus’ world, I’m curious what type of spells they’ll have.”

“Sounds good, I should probably find another hiding place before my insane fiance finds me.” Mist dark orbed back to his Little Slice of Heaven as he was reasonably sure Eliza couldn’t actually follow him there.

“I’m going to miss jumping to various worlds,” Leet complained as he grabbed another soda from the refreshment table.

Uber shrugged. “Nothing lasts forever dude. Besides, nothing says we have to stop jumping worlds, we’ll just be on our own timescale once Mist gets his spark.”

Dawn smirked as she walked up to the boys and handed Leet a handheld video game. “Here, this should help.”

Leet raised an eyebrow as he looked at the game that Dawn had handed him. “Zelda’s Labyrinth?”

Dawn smirked as she handed Uber a copy of the game. “I made it with the fusion toad, it’s a combination of the Great Labyrinth and an old Zelda game.”

“Does it work?” Uber asked with excitement.

“Yes.”

“Cool…” Leet trailed off as he noticed her smirk, “wait, you’re saying we can get stuff out of the game like the Labyrinth game?”

“That’s what I’m saying,” Dawn replied smuggly.

“Sweet!” Leet shouted as he pulled her into a hug.

“How many of these do you have?” Uber asked excitedly.

“A couple, dozen.” Dawn snickered at the look on Uber’s face.

“Which ones?” Leet demanded.

Dawn laughed as she grabbed a coke off the table then headed for an empty table that didn’t have a pair of naked girls fucking or dancing on it, which wasn’t as easy as it sounded as the main point of the party was boosting everyone’s mana pool to insane levels via sharing the group’s sexual magic perk with the new recruits. “This way, I’ll show you.”

Leet grinned as they followed Dawn to a corner table. “So what do you have?”

“Double Dragon Labyrinth, Dungeons and Dragon, Megaman and various old games,” Dawn explained as she started taking copies of the various games she’d created via using her fusion toad out of her inventory and setting them on the table.

“This is going to be awesome.” 

Uber grinned as he looked over the growing collection of various classic titles and not so classic titles. “Leisure Suit Mario?”

“I might have gone a bit over the top when I was playing with my toad,” Dawn admitted as she continued grabbing games out of her inventory.

“No such thing,” Leet replied as he sorted through the games.

One of the various versions of Hermione who happened to be a videogame addict walked over to the table to see what type of games they had. She blinked as she looked at the titles, most of them she didn’t recognize. “Where did you get Castlevania VS Zelda?”

Dawn smiled at Hermione’s alternate that was wearing a knee length black skirt and a white t-shirt. “I made it using a magic toad.”

The girl raised her eyebrows. “Huh, McGonagall or at least my McGonagall said toads were useless familiars.”

“Most toads aren’t fusion toads,” Dawn replied with amusement.

“Cool.” She reached out to touch one of the games then stopped. “Ah, sorry.”

Leet laughed. “Help yourself, let me guess, you’re a bit of a gamer?”

“Just a bit,” she replied trying to downplay the fact that she was an addict, she was so glad that Pandora had recruited her for a school that actually had electricity so she could play her video games because ten months without them sounded like hell.

Uber laughed. “Don’t worry, you’re in good company.”

“Thanks. Oh! Final Fantasy Labyrinth, that sounds awesome.”

Dawn snickered. “You don’t even know the best part.”

“What’s that?”

“They’re magic games, you can get magic items and special skills by playing them.”

“Seriously?” Hermione asked in disbelief.

“Yep, I’m expecting some really neat skills.”

“I don’t suppose you need playtesters?” she asked hopefully.

“Now that you mention it, we could use help.” Dawn made a duplicate copy of the Final Fantasy Labyrinth game and handed it to her. “Here, give it a go.”

“Sweet…” she blushed as she trailed off, “ah, I probably shouldn’t, I’m supposed to be finding someone that can help me increase my mana pool and if I start playing a video game, I’ll get distracted.”

“If you want, I can help you out with that,” Dawn admitted.

Hermione blushed as she glanced at Uber and Leet. “I wouldn’t want to pull you away from your friends.”

Leet said, “Don’t worry about it, we have plenty of games to play.”

“So…” Hermione blushed as she thought about what Sin had told her to ask anyone she was interested in when she’d shared her sexual magic ability. “Finger or tongue?”

Dawn smiled at the blushing girl. “Tongue.”

Hermione set her game on the table then moved over to a free spot on the table, turned around then hopped up on the table.

Dawn smiled as Hermione’s alternate hiked her skirt, revealing the fact that she wasn’t wearing any underwear and spread her legs for her.

Uber pulled his attention off the gamer girl as Dawn leaned down to start layering kisses on her legs. “Let’s see, the Zelda game looks good.”

Hermione said, “I’m looking forward to playing it.”

Dawn ignored the little voice in her head saying, ‘gotta catch them all’ as she worked her way down Hermione’s legs toward her kitty while Leet and Uber talked about video games.

Pandora smirked as she pulled Wyatt into the prologue of the ‘new’ spelljammer book, Beyond the Moons. ‘I can’t believe Dad was just going to drop the magic users on an empty world then leave without introducing something that would send their culture spiralling in strange directions.’ She glanced around the rather strange ship she found herself on, most of the ship, including the main hull was made of some type of wood she wasn’t familiar with while the keel sprouted four flaring fins of some strange material that probably wasn’t normal cloth considering it looked sort of fleshy. The main sail was a large fin that ran down the middle of the boat making it look like a strange fish. She ignored the frantic crew that were trying to get one of the catapults working so they could return fire against the three large spider like ships that were chasing them as she reached into her pocket, grabbed her stopwatch and pushed the button.

Wyatt Halliwell smiled as everything froze in place. “I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of that.” He glanced around at the strange and slightly alien crew, while most of them looked human or at least humanish, one of the aliens looked like a humanoid hippo. “We should probably scan the crew while we’re at it.”

“Go for it, I’m going to head down and scan the spelljamming helm and the magic user they have powering it.”

“That’s the engine, right?” Wyatt asked as he started scanning the strange sails.

“Yeah, they convert spells into motive force for the ships. I’m hoping we can convert them to run on straight mana so that we can improve our mana engines.”

“It would certainly save on fuel if you can make it work.” He looked over the pattern for the spelljamming sails then started scanning the large tail at the back of the boat.

“Pretty much.” Pandora headed below deck to scan the helm and check to see if they had anything worth copying.

Wyatt finished scanning the tail then turned to look at the three rather large spider ships he could see in the distance. “What do you want to do with the creepy spider ships?” he asked, trusting his cousin’s enhanced hearing to let her hear him.

“Considering they’re neogi, we should probably free all of the slaves and rip the ships apart for spare parts.”

“That bad?”

“They’re worse than demons, at least you can reason with demons. The neogi are basically genetically predisposed to believe that everyone in the universe is a slave and that they have the duty to enslave the universe.”

“Cheerful people.” Wyatt turned his attention to the hull and started scanning it.

“Not particularly,” Pandora replied absently as she started scanning the tired looking magic user that was sitting on the wooden chair that was bolted to the middle of the room.

“In that case, I’m going to orb over there and work on freeing the slaves, send me a telepathic message before you unfreeze everything.”

“No problem,” Pandora replied absently.

Wyatt orbed over to the spider ship to work on freeing the various slaves. He wasn’t sure if his cousin’s crazy idea would pan out but it was worth a shot.

Pandora glanced at the helmsman skill and the D&D magic user class unlock that popped up on her HUD then worked on scanning the wooden chair that was the ship’s helm. She smiled as she got a basic spelljamming helm pattern then frowned as she looked at the pattern and realized she was going to have to do a fair amount of tweaking if she wanted to use it. She sent her cousin a mental message, ‘Let me know when you find the neogi helms, I need to scan them.’

‘Didn’t get what you wanted off the other helm?’ Wyatt asked as he used a bit of magic to unlock the chains on the various prisoners on the bridge.

‘Not really, the more scans I have of different types of helms the easier reverse engineering something useful is going to be.’ She created three duplicates of herself that promptly orbed to the alien ships to start scanning things. ‘I’m sending duplicates to help scan things and free the prisoners, so try not to shoot them.’

‘Thanks for the warning.’ He used his projection power to shackle all of the neogi on the bridge and conjure decent weapons for the ex slaves then headed deeper into the ship to see what he could find. He doubted they’d be able to take much of anything with them considering how new the book they’d jumped into was but at least they could get scans of various magical items.

Pandora absently repaired damage to the ship as she wandered around scanning the interior of the strange spacecraft. ‘Why would you build a ship out of plan wood when there are magical versions available?’

‘They probably couldn’t afford it or maybe they couldn’t find enough of it. It wouldn’t be my first choice.”

‘Mine either, at least we have access to better material.’ She was glad that she could use the shopkeeper trick from Recettear to mix material properties together in weird ways to get amazing stuff that she could scan. She grinned as one of her duplicates scanned one of the neogi life draining helms and she got several patterns. “Life draining helm, mana engine, basic mana stardrive.” She looked at the pattern for the mana stardrive that let anyone channel mana into the drive to power the ship. “Damn, okay, I can work with that.” She sent a mental message to Wyatt. ‘I got a stardrive pattern out of scanning things which means I’m good to go when you are.’

‘That should certainly help with spicing up Arcturus’ dimension,’ Wyatt agreed as he worked on scanning anything interesting as he headed for the hold. 

‘Yep, especially if we terraform Venus and Mars for them.’

‘It would certainly give them something to shoot for. Speaking of patterns, are we going to look for other ships to scan?’

‘We might as well. I want to see if I can find a Crown of Stars and a couple serial helms before we leave.”

‘Serial helms? Crown of Stars? You’ve played way more Spelljammer than I have, what are they?’ Wyatt asked curious what Pandora was talking about.

‘The Crown of Stars is a magical item that basically functions like a minor helm for any boat you’re on but it lets you move around the ship while flying it. The serial helms can be tied together to fly a ship faster than a minor helm. If we combine them, we should be able to get a decently fast ship, at least in theory.’

‘Makes sense,’ Wyatt admitted. If nothing else, he figured they could go with a decent looking pirate ship.

“What do you think?” Sirius asked curious what his alternate’s grandfather thought of the island city they’d built.

Arcturus looked away from the snowglobe that contained the tropical island that was going to form the center of their entire civilization. “I was expecting a couple of wizarding tents, maybe some stone buildings, not over twenty magical schools, two hospitals, a library that makes Hogwarts look like a personal library and various magic shops that sell things that should be priceless artifacts.” He glanced at Umy. “To say nothing of the wonderfully detailed expansion plans and law books that you typed up.”

Umy grinned. “It was a fun project. The British Ministry has some really stupid laws but they also had some decent starting points for dealing with certain magical crimes. The schools and mirrors should get you a continual supply of highly educated witches which should help fill in various professions. You should be able to add about fifty thousand witches the first year then another few thousand or so a year as the girls graduate until you have a decent population.”

“At which point enough people should be having children naturally so that we won’t accidently make all of the males extinct.”

“That’s the idea,” Sirius agreed as he turned to look at Pandora as she walked into the room.

Pandora smiled as she walked into the conference room. “Is it too late to add a spaceport?”

Arcturus asked, “Spaceport?”

“I found a magical engine design that would let wizards travel between planets in a reasonable span of time.”

“Nice,” Sirius piped up.

Arcturus raised his eyebrows. “I might be a wizard but even I know that none of the rest of the planets are habitable.”

Pandora smiled. “We should be able to fix both planets so that people can live on them. Are you interested?”

Arcturus frowned slightly as he considered the idea, he doubted they’d have the resources to waste any time soon but eventually they were going to need the space or at least want the space and the adventure. “I have no problem with a spaceport as long as we can maintain it.”

Pandora shrugged. “It shouldn’t be that hard, cleaning spells are a thing as are repair charms.”

“True enough, the question becomes where to put it.”

Umy looked over the blueprints for the city. “We should be able to put it on the edge of the city without causing too many problems. Do you have schematics that wizards can use to build the ships?”

Pandora winced slightly. “Not yet but I put my researchers on it.”

“If you can’t make it work, we’ll have to set up a shop where they can just buy the ships.”

Sirius piped up, “That’s less fun, I’m sure we can figure something out.” He used his Slot Machine ability and gave himself cosmic skill in wizarding spaceship designing which also covered enchanting them.

Arcturus smiled at Pandora’s enthusiasm. “It sounds like an interesting long term project.”

“Do you have the schematics?” Umy asked.

“It should be fun.” Pandora pulled her blueprint printer of her inventory and set it on the table. “Give me a second.”

Sirius smirked as he reviewed his ‘new’ if temporary skill at design and enchanting while Pandora printed out her new blueprints. “I’ve got some ideas that might work.” 

“This is going to be awesome.”

Mist looked up as Amelia and Selena walked into his office in the warehouse. “What’s up?”

Amelia said, “We were thinking about the girls that Arcturus’s group are going to create with the mirrors.”

“What about them?”

“It just seems a waste to not take a couple of weeks and make sure the initial sixty thousand girls are healthy and have decent mana pools. That and I think we should duplicate some of the tinker vials and hand them out.”

Mist raised his eyebrows. “In other words, you want an excuse to fuck the girls?”

“Like you don’t?” Selena asked with amusement.

“I don’t think there is a good answer for that.” Mist chuckled as his girlfriend playfully stuck her tongue out at him.

Amelia said, “You took the blood samples after the orgy which means their maximum mana pools are insane, some of them probably have larger mana pools than I do. Now multiply that by fifty or sixty thousand or more if we can get the girls to fuck each other first before we come in and gang bang them.”

“While my inner munchkin is busy rolling on the floor laughing like a lunatic at the idea of boosting our mana to a truly insane degree, what do you even need that much mana for?”

“You mean besides playing around with upgrade? The more mana we have the more we can upgrade things. I want to be able to cast galaxy spanning enchantments or toss down with elder gods without concern for running out of energy. I want to be able to boost my natural mana regeneration to keep up with my mana pool, I want to be able to boost my power until I’m world’s beyond any elder god you could care to name.”

Mist wasn’t sure if she was serious or just messing around, by the slight twitch of her lips he was guessing she was only half serious but she made some good points. “I guess it would give us a chance to make sure the second generation gets off to a decent start,” he admitted with fake reluctance.

Selena laughed. “That reminds me, I need to borrow Dawn’s fusion toad.”

“Oh?”

“We’re going to need bribes/presents for the new girls, what better way to boost the next generation than creating an all in one stat boosting elixir that we can boost to high hell then hand out to all of the girls. If we toss scholars tea and Diablo elixirs to the toad, we’ll probably get something decent then we upgrade the hell out of it and duplicate it for the girls.”

Amelia laughed. “I like it. Actually, if we build a decent starting dungeon, we wouldn’t even have to outfit the girls, just send them through the dungeon so they can earn their starting supplies.”

Mist laughed. “You just want to see a bunch of cute girls running naked through the street.”

“Nope, that’s just a side benefit.”

“I’m not going to object about a couple months in the past as long as I don’t have to deal with Eliza.”

“I’m not sure why she bothers you that much, just spank her until she squeals then send her on her way, that’s what I do,” Amelia pointed out.

“I’ll take that under consideration,” Mist replied sarcastically. He was really hoping he could get Arcturus’s group settled then destroy Voldemort’s last Horcrux before he had to actually get married to the little masochist.

Selena snickered. “In that case, we’ll get started making some dungeons to run the girls through.”

“Sounds good.” Mist had a feeling there would be legends about the massive orgy for a long time.

“This is going to be awesome.” Amelia snickered as she left with Selena.

Mist shook his head. ‘Yeah, this can’t end well.’

Genie snickered as Mist appeared in the black stone room. “How was your two months of debauchery?”

Mist snorted. “I think I need a vacation from my vacation.”

Genie snickered as she held out her arms for a hug. “Hug?”

Mist smiled as he stepped forward and pulled her into a hug. “Thanks, at least the world turned out interesting.”

“It’s certainly interesting and Pandora’s ships were a big hit. I think my favorite was the ship that looked like a hippo.” Genie gave Mist one last squeeze then let him go.

Mist took a step back and gave her a weird look. “A hippo?”

“You were expecting the clown car or the dildo shaped ship Sin conned some people into making?”

Mist shrugged. “The clown car wasn’t that bad. No comment on the abomination, I’ve sort of given up getting Sin to act like a responsible adult.” 

Genie laughed. “True enough. So, end jump or one more for the road?”

“What are the options for end jumps?” Mist asked warily.

“Technically you can pick any of them, some are just more difficult.”

“Do you have a preference?”

“Pretty sure the easiest end jump is darksiders but I could use the help fixing one of the 40k dimensions that’s set to explode and spill out to neighboring worlds.”

Mist raised his eyebrows. “How much time do I have?”

“At least twenty years so if you don’t fix things, you’ve already failed.”

“Fair enough. No promises but I’ll take a look at the jump.”

“Thanks, I’d fix it but we’re not technically allowed.”

“Right, so what’s the objective?”

“You basically have to destroy or remove one of the major factions from power.”

“That’s it?” Mist asked wondering what other strings were attached as that sounded suspiciously easy.

“Pretty much. If you’re feeling generous, you could beat the forces of chaos down a bit and make the universe a better place but I’ll understand if you just want to hit your target faction and run.”

“I have a couple ideas though I’m curious, how sane is this particular dimension’s Emperor?”

“Sane enough, he actually explained what would happen if Magnus contacted him, Tzeentch just screwed with Magnus’s memory.”

“In other words, freeing him from the golden prison might actually help as long as I can create a beacon to replace the golden throne.”

“Considering your group’s talents, it shouldn’t be that hard.” Genie tossed the end jump on the screen. 

“So, just to be clear, if I banish them to another world does that count?”

“You’d have to live with yourself but technically sure.”

Mist shrugged. “I just figured I’d make sure. If I destroy the dark eldar, do I immediately spark or do I have to leave some of them alive until I’m ready to leave?”

“Nah, I’ll let you finish things though I’ll probably let you know when your mission is accomplished.”

“Cool, that makes it easier.” He wasn’t all that worried about something actually managing to kill him but there was no point in taking chances.

“I’m assuming you’re going to bring your city ship with you?”

“Not sure, maybe. Unless I get a planet to start on?”

“Do you want your planet moved to 40k?” Genie asked with amusement. 

Mist snorted. “I’d rather not.”

“Then no, you’re stuck with any ship you import or make and let’s be honest here, you’re a Builder so I don’t feel even remotely bad about that.” She stuck her tongue out at Mist.

“Point. So, I can grab my adamantium Vesta class ship from Star Trek?”

“You mean the one you left there that Q liberated?”

“Right, so that’s a no?” Mist asked with a touch of annoyance.

“I’m pretty sure he’s not giving it back, I mean you could go there an ask but I’m not going make it that easy considering you basically abandoned it.”

“Fine. Since it doesn’t have a starting location does that mean I get to choose where I start?”

“As long as it’s a ship in the middle of nowhere, sure,” she replied cheerfully.

“As long as that nowhere is nowhere near the damned nids or necron or… let’s just go with battles.”

“Now you’re just being picky.”

“No, I just don’t want to be instantly dropped into combat. I don’t need necrons teleporting onto my ship the instant I drop in.” Mist turned his attention to the document and started figuring out what he wanted to grab. 

“Fair point,” Genie agreed.

Mist frowned as he realized he really didn’t want to import his city ship as it wasn’t really built for the type of combat he’d probably see if something went wrong. “I think I’m going to have to take another jump or take the return door before I hit the end jump.”

“In that case, I might as well summon everyone and we can have,” Genie gestured and summoned all of Mist’s companions to the room, “a party while you figure it out.”

“That works,” Mist admitted as he glanced around the room at his friends and family.
