Much of what I've heard about schools on Earth wasn't good at all. People learn better at their own pace anyway.
The colonists who told us about L-space said that it's dangerous enough that most people on a starship are kept sedated during the journey. That must make her essential staff, so she just needs to know that she could be vanished back into L-space at some point in the future, and then she can avoid anything bad happening. I think. Hopefully she knows more about it than I do.
It does! And what did you do about it when you went back? When I go back to Rica do I start suggesting relay stations? They're annoyingly isolationist and don't want to trade.
