Levendi

The planet has its official designation: system and number. The locals there, though, call it Levendi. That's Levendi with a lilt: Le-VEN-dee. And the lilt and the lapping of waves and the breeze in the trees and the sizzle and hiss of seafood on the grill... all these are now part of our thoughts of Levendi, orchestrated by Altaen as he makes the place personal for us.

I barely know the people, yet. I know, or think I know, how it works when the Angels offer them opportunities they couldn't have otherwise. We'd like to provide options there.

And for Benito, something I hadn't known: his first time on a planet. Sun and wind and the sea.

I watched Benito take a pebble from a beach. Now it will travel faster than light.

Reliabilities

The Noctis is still a fine salvaging ship.

Jacob still finds Angel ships delightful. (Especially The Mistress.)

Teon is still too large.
