Oh. I didn’t know they could teleport things, I thought they could just teleport themselves. That’s an elegant solution.
Ian did it in one of the earlier comics. He did his first teleport with a 9mm parabellum cartridge from the surface of a bar to his hand.
Oh yeah! I’d forgotten.
I remember that, and I remember thinking that something that’s designed to explode and send part of itself rocketing off with GBH in mind was not, perhaps, the best thing to use as your first ever test of teleportation…
The problem is the note, depending on how long Nin-Banda has been in that tank. In that case Ishara may be the only one there that can speak with her.
She’s only been in the basement since shortly after the big hurricane. At most a hundred years, since the ruins of the house are still there. I remember Miko telling Etain and Adah how people hadn’t moved back, but the resorts had rebuilt in the Maris Islands. Nin-Banda will be current on language.
Her slang would be terrible. Unless language here is in some way standardized, she would be caught in the undertow of linguistic drift.
Someone time-warped from the 1918 US would be bale to make themselves understood and understand most of what they hear in the 2018 US, but they would have lots of “what did you say?” moments.
Try 10.

The above section mentions it.
Another piece of the story I’d forgot. Thanks!
That dazes Nin-Banda as going into her tank in 6553. So, she is only 11 years out. 😉
That also means that she has a reasonably current ID. Yes, when you hit your 60’s, 11 years is just a passing fancy 😉
