Thank you for the information: That does sound similar to warping. I will need to investigate the connection.
[Star charts do change! Linhardt had never been certain: He'd seen differences in the maps of the night sky depending on the era, but since they were all hand drawn and often he only had a single data point for a given era, it had been impossible to know for sure.]
I will also find a xenobiologist. I appreciate your patience and willingness to answer my questions.
[Although Linhardt wants to take a ship and fly it towards the nearest asteroid belt, he understands that doing so would be a really bad decision. It's a shame that so many of the most interesting choices have a high probability of his own death. Which is not, in and of itself, a deterrent, but if he does not return, his friends will die.]
I will - I need the knowledge and tools that Fortuna would provide. Although I have never traveled through space, I am a medic and a healer, which is a skillset I expect to be one of the rarer ones amongst our number and therefore of enough value that someone will allow me to accompany them.
[If not, his healing magic gives him more room for error than most. Linhardt has seen a lot of fighters, some explorers, and an engineer, but most healers are prudent enough not to run off chasing a legend.]
I'm a scholar of heredity and the magical arts - magic being the manipulation of ambient energies with one's will.
[Linhardt has encountered multiple people who don't know what magic is, and therefore he defaults to explaining. He doesn't have Maul's patience for 'basic' questions.]
