Don't suppose this planet has a miraculous cure for a hangover?

I'll survive. I'm just going to sequester myself in a dark, quiet room until this headache goes away.

[loyal_soldier]

Not of their own making, but there is an imPort who can heal things with

I'm not quite sure, exactly, but rainbows are involved.

[ralltiir]

I need to start keeping a list of these imPorts with useful skills.

[loyal_soldier]

His name's Archie. Nice man, eager to help, a little emotional, has a big fluffy dog that somehow fits in a tiny sphere.

[ralltiir]

...Now you sound drunk.

How tiny are we talking?

[loyal_soldier]

Unfortunately not, sir.

About fist-sized, I think? I've only seen it happen just the once. There was a flash of light and suddenly a dog was there.

[ralltiir]

I've never heard of a dog that small...

It doesn't sound humane. Are there air holes in the little ball?

[loyal_soldier]

It's big, actually. Probably about 35 kg. It shrinks down to fit in the ball.

I have no idea how it works, but it seems happy enough. And Archie's got some big issues about hurting anything, let along animals, so I guess it's alright.

[ralltiir]

Ho

No. I don't want to ask. I'm not sure this is something I want to try to understand.

Tell me more about Archie. How did you two meet?

[loyal_soldier]

We met when he helped disperse a crowd of agitators, and since then he's been quite friendly.

He tries hard to be helpful, and he's just joined Aegis. I think it'll give him good direction, he was getting in over his head sometimes.

[ralltiir]

Oh, good. Then I'll be meeting him soon enough.

[ Because he fully intends to check this Aegis Force out for himself. ]

[loyal_soldier]

I'm glad to hear it, sir.

[Really, really glad]

[ralltiir]

Thought you might be.
