[ It is very early in the hour; had there been a dawn to record this moment of shadowy light over the hills, it would have been now. But the light he does have, gentle in it's undulations -- the distant Lambda tear is it;s likely source. For those who were on planets with a sun, certainly, it seems all the more alien for it. ]

[surrenderedspark]

I see.

Well, it is like sea-faring, except in the space between worlds instead of the oceans between landmasses. The very basic principle is the same.
