Chapter 20 - Limited
-----
The lift doors open onto the Presidium and they walk out to see the trees and the lake beyond. The artificial sky above them was just starting to dim as if the sun was just starting to get lower in the sky.
"This is... I never expected something like this."
"I guessed there might be something as visually good as this but I agree with you Kate, nothing quite as elaborate as all of this though. Especially so given it is in space." Sam and Kate admiring the sky, the lakes and the various plant life.
There were a surprisingly large number of people around given it was evening time. Most just stood to one side and gawped as the group walked past as if they were some kind of big deal. The commandos helped the image immensely keeping the odd reporter away from them. It was not too far to the restaurant after a lengthy lift journey. The entrance hall to the restaurant seemed rather elaborate with what looked like marble flooring and small potted trees breaking up the red and blue walls with a touch of green.
"Welcome to The Balcony. Your guest has already arrived, follow me." The greeter announced as they approached, the eight commandos probably giving away who they were. They made their way through the restaurant and around a corner they saw the view out over the four arms of the Citadel and able to see the ships coming in to dock. The area they were in was slightly more private than the rest of the restaurant and in the middle of the space was a large square table with enough seats for fourteen and Sha'ira already sat down.
"It is good to see you all again. I hope I have not intruded upon your evening out. Please take seats."
With that they all sat down, the commandos favouring the entrance side of the table, Kate and Fosanta choosing to sit opposite Sha'ira, Adastra next to her and Sam next to Adastra and Imphaya.
"I have heard you may be going to Thessia in the next couple of days." Sha'ira starting as she means to go on it seems.
"How do you manage to find this out before we do?"
"Fosanta. Information from the top does not always get to the bottom." Fosanta just nods at that as the waitress comes to take their order.
-----
Sha'ira leans over and whispers to Adastra, "There will be an acolyte making an appearance tonight. Her name is Talima. I fear you may be in need of the help." With those words she stands up and announces to the group, "I am sorry to have to leave before you all finish but I have some things to attend to. The meal and drinks are on me, a parting gift if you will. Be well everyone."
"What did she say Adastra?" Kate getting a good view of the whispering but not able to figure out what was said.
"That we will have another visitor this evening Kate."
"That it?" Fosanta not believing it was that simple.
"If you ever get Sha'ira's help it will always be in cryptic messages. Yes that was it." Adastra failing to add that it was that she had somehow stuck her foot in it again.
-----
The simulated sky was in dusk mode as they all made their way back to the Enlighten. There are far fewer people milling around since most places closed over half an hour ago. There were also surprisingly few journalists for the commandos to worry about and the ones that were around were much less invasive.
It did not take too long for them to get back to the Enlighten including the short wait for the mass transit.
-----
A seemingly happy Asari walked out of the lift carrying a large box which she carefully places on the floor before speaking. "It is a pleasure to meet you all. My name is Talima and I believe that you were expecting me."
"We knew to expect someone. My name is Fosanta. I still do not know why you are here though?"
"I have been told to talk to Adastra and then make myself available to anyone else."
"Hello, I am Sam. What is in the box?"
"I cannot say unless the circumstances change. I apologise Sam but they are not my rules."
"I am Kate. Do you all speak in cryptic messages?"
"Not usually. I am in this instance limited in what I can say. Sorry Kate." Talima turns to Adastra "Do you have somewhere private we can talk?" Adastra nods and the two of them walk to her room and lock the door.
"I really hope Adastra is not in trouble again." Sam musing as he sits back down on the floor.
-----
"Again, it is good to meet you Adastra. I have been updated on everything that has happened so feel free to ask questions."
"Why are you here?"
"That should have been obvious from the clues but I see you do not quite understand. Someone saw your antics in the shuttle bay earlier today."
"How did they... Oh." Realisation dawns on Adastra that there was one working camera left in the shuttle bay after the core discharge. "How bad is this?"
"Well your prior reputation plus this revelation and Maritha's story from last night has forced a few peoples hands unfortunately. People are frightened as you are an unknown quantity, Sha'ira has done her best to argue your side but they were unwavering."
"So what are the consequences?"
"You are back on the dangerous list. I know it is not your fault and I am truly sorry for having to deliver this information." Adastra in frustration puts her head in her hands, trying hard not to do anything to the messenger. "Would you like someone to be here with you?"
"I could do with Sam being here." Talima nods and walks out of the room and down the hall way.
"Sam, Could you follow me please." Sam looked a bit puzzled but nodded and the pair went back to Adastra's room.
"What has happened?" Sam seeing Adastra in a bit of a state on the side of the bed and puts an arm around her.
"Someone saw what happened in the shuttle bay this afternoon and it has forced someone to put me back on the dangerous list." Adastra explaining what happened in a succinct manner.
"You were already on that list before Adastra so really it does not make any difference."
"Unfortunately Sam, it does."
"You are not exactly good at bad news delivery Talima."
"I do not wish to be harmed by you hence why I am being cautious, I am only the individual who is delivering this information, I have had no involvement in this decision at any point."
"Just tell us why it makes a difference?" Adastra getting Talima back on track.
"Well new people on the dangerous list with your biotic ability are given active restrictions. Only if you were given restrictions before the rule change nineteen years ago are you allowed a passive restrictor such as what Aumarva has."
"So the difference is that she has to have a limiter?"
"As I said Sam the law says new applicants to the list with proven strong biotics are given active limiters which prevent the individual from melding with others."
"Any good news at all Talima?" Sam trying to make a joke to make himself happier as Adastra sits there silently fuming.
"That would be why I am here delivering the news and not some people from C-Sec. The new active devices have to be custom made unlike the designs of old. Sha'ira managed to make Armali Council the manufacturer of your device. After a few deals she has managed to produce a specification which is massively in your favour. The device will be a mixed design which acts as a passive limiter under certain circumstances and an active amplifier under others."
"Wait. I am guessing but a passive limiter should allow Adastra to meld?"
"Yes Sam as passive systems cannot be programmed to react to a meld."
"Do I get to have a say in the design?" Adastra wondering if she has any say in this or whether it is a done deal.
"When you arrive on Thessia you will be taken to the main biotics facility for Armali Council. There they will tweak the design to suit you, as long as the strength of the passive limiter is not altered, before commencing manufacture."
"Did you not say everyone had to have an active limiter?"
"I did Sam, but since Adastra has been on the list before for a long time it was accepted that she could have a passive limiter instead."
"What do you think Adastra? I personally see it as a good compromise given the bad situation but it is not me who has to wear it."
"I am not pleased about this but as long as I can tweak the design I think I can live with it. So why did you bring the box Talima."
"Armali Council wished to send a selection of holders for you to find the one you are most comfortable with. As they did not wish to force you to try them on at their facility. The provided samples can be adjusted in size and colour if you wish when you get to Thessia."
"If this is not going to start being made until we get to Thessia what is happening between now and when I get it."
"You will not be limited but any biotics at any time from now are forbidden and will cause this agreement to fall through." Adastra gives a sign of resignation.
"I must thank you and the Consort for this help." She does not sound all that thankful but that is to be expected.
"I appreciate you not hurting me even though I could understand the temptation. I will pass the message on to the Consort. Just before we leave I have been told I have to tell you that everyone onboard will get told tomorrow about this."
"We should get something to drink Adastra. I can help you with trying on the holders later if you want me to." Adastra nods trying to put a smile on her face for the rest of the crew. With that the three of them leave.
------
"Every time the Consort or one of her acolytes visit you always seem to take a long time talking to them." Kate wondering just exactly what is happening as Sam goes to the kitchen area which has seen better days to get a couple of drinks.
"Kate, if you need someone to talk to, or anything else, I have some spare time." Talima smiling at Kate which seemed to have the opposite of a comforting effect.
"No, no I am ok. Thank you."
"If no one needs anything from me then I must unfortunately leave. I wish you all well." With that she enters the lift and leaves. Sam sits down beside Adastra and hands her a cup.
"What was in the box Sam?"
"You will find out tomorrow Fosanta."
"Is everything alright?"
"I would appreciate it if we could talk about something else until tomorrow as I am very limited in what I can say, sorry about that Kate." Sam frustrated at not being able to say anything to alleviate the worry that is hanging in the air like an acrid smell. The lift opens and out come the nine occupants. Adastra puts her cup on the floor and walks over to Kriana, taking her arm and dragging her into the lift.
"Adastra, What are you doing?" The C-Sec officers start to try and help Kriana before Shiala pulls them away.
"She will be fine as long as she does not do anything stupid." She turns to Sam, "Go with her." The lift doors close just after Sam had made it into the lift.
"If she gets injured then it is your fault." Roskan not impressed by the stunt.
"I actually think she deserves it as I told her not to." That raised a few eyebrows around the room.
"She is only doing her best to help everyone."
"No Emala she is helping herself become popular before she becomes a matriarch. She has done nothing to help Adastra on this mission."
------
"Where are we going?" Kriana a little worried under the stare of Adastra and Sam.
"I bet you can guess and you know what this is about." The lift doors open before Kriana thinks of what to say, getting dragged out of the lift to the middle of the shuttle bay.
"Sam can you climb up that pipe work and rip the cable out of that camera." Sam nods and climbs up. The cable didn't last long with his full body weight on it. He just about retained his footing as the cable gave way and climbed back down. "I bet you can guess why I did that."
"You know I had to tell them."
"You did not have to say anything Kriana. I am now going to have a restriction on my biotic abilities and I am now back on the dangerous list. That is worse than when I got here. I was doing well with Sam and Sha'ira's help to get my life back to normal and then you come along and screw it up again."
"I had to..."
"I do not think you are quite getting what Adastra is saying. I will make it clearer for you. Treat the people you are closest to well and they will happily return the gesture. The fact I need to spell this out to someone who is over twenty five times my own age is rather astounding. The fact you are focussing on what Adastra may do in say three hundred years more than today is remarkably ill-conceived Kriana. What if she was to do nothing, you have then ruined over hundreds of years of her life for absolutely nothing other than to look good amongst your peers. Sam turns away from Kriana to look at Adastra. "I can think of no way to make this talk a little more memorable than a few broken bones."
"I cannot use biotics and I was never good in hand to hand combat. I also need her to remember everything." Sam turns back to Kriana.
"I just wish sometimes people would sit and think before taking action as it irritates me immensely." Sam turns back to Adastra, "I have had an idea. We should just lock her down here until we leave to go to Thessia."
"You cannot do that I have a meeting tomorrow with the Councillor."
"You will just have to say you cannot make it." Sam added motioning to Adastra to head to the lift.
"I will do anything."
"Funny that you will do so when it is in your interest to Kriana. If you can remove the passive limiter from Adastra's restriction plans and you can confirm it, give us a message and we will let you out." Sam and Adastra reach the lift and the doors open.
"You know I cannot do that." Sam and Adastra step into the awaiting lift.
"You have four hours; I really hope you will learn something from today." Sam shouting out from the lift just before the doors close. "Can you modify the lift so that it does not stop at this floor?"
"Yes the lift is designed not to stop at this floor if it has no atmosphere. So..." Adastra carefully removes the control panel cover and changes a setting before putting it back. "There it thinks there is no atmosphere now."
"Good."
------
"What is all this about Shiala?"
"Sam or Adastra have not told you Kate?"
"Sam said we would find out tomorrow. I get the feeling that this is a big problem though."
"All I am going to say in that case is Kriana made an incorrect decision. I do not wish to provide specifics as it is not something to be proud of. Also Emala, if you say so much as a word about this you will be in the same position." The C-Sec officers seem to get a bit edgy at this clear threat.
"I hope we do not have any more problems." Fosanta sounding as if this was an hourly problem.
Quietness descended on the group until the lift reopened and out walked Sam and Adastra The pair of them sitting back down next to their drinks.
"Where is Kriana?"
"She is busy Emala." Sam deliberately giving nothing away.
"Doing what?"
"Work, she has three hours and fifty minutes left before we undock this ship." Sam answered as Adastra looked at each of them with a deadly serious expression on her face. "She is fine but she needs to learn something."
Everyone had the urge to ask the one burning question but no one had the guts to. Over the next two hours all that was discussed was that they would be unable to leave without letting the C-Sec officers off to which they were given the option to leave before they did or get taken to Thessia.
--------
"Aumarva can you come with Sam and myself please." Adastra noting that two hours had elapsed and thought it could be a good time to provide an incentive. Aumarva nods and gets up with Sam and Adastra and the three of them head into the lift.
"Do not tell anyone how to get down here ok Aumarva?" Adastra added as she removed the panel and temporarily allowed the lift to stop at the shuttle deck.
"You can trust me. Why did you want me anyway?"
"I will give you a quick version Aumarva. Kriana watched this afternoons display on the shuttle deck and reported it. They then put Adastra back on the dangerous list and have put into motion plans to give her biotic restrictions." Adastra closes the panel before turning to Aumarva.
"I thought you could show her how much of an impact they have."
"I can do that." The doors open and Kriana drops backwards into the lift her back was evidently against the lift doors. Sam and Adastra drag her back into the bay.
"How are you going Kriana? This is your two hour checkup." Sam added letting go of her arm.
"I am getting nowhere, I am sorry."
"Unfortunately Kriana it is either you manage to do it and we will be on the Citadel tomorrow morning, or you will not and you will stay down here until we arrive on Thessia."
"I have brought Aumarva down here to show you what you have done."
"You have a biotic limiter?" Kriana clearly not expecting a commando to be limited.
"Yes, it has been an inconvenience for decades. Adastra wanted me to show you how limiting it is." Aumarva glowed blue and sent a weak sky blue push towards the rear wall bending it slightly in the process. "That is my limit with the limiter in place." She reached around the back of her neck and pulled out the device again putting it carefully on the ground. Aumarva settled herself and sent a dark blue push towards the wall, before it hit she split it into four and sent two left and two right, each of which she crashed into each other with a resonating bang. "That is at least what I can capable of without."
"I am sure if you saw us this afternoon you saw Adastra split that biotic field into eight, not four as Aumarva has just done. Are you getting the idea now?" Sam clearly getting into this a little too much.
Kriana's Omni-tool beeps and she quickly reads the message her body slumping as she reads the message. She looks up at the three standing over her. "They will not change the clauses under any circumstances as they think she has already got too many concessions."
"Sorry Kriana but we are leaving the Citadel now." Adastra then walks towards the lift, Sam and Aumarva following closely behind. Kriana could just watch on as the doors closed.
-----
The lift doors open and Adastra seems to be on a mission. "Everyone from C-Sec we have appreciated your help but we are to travel immediately. You have ten minutes to leave. Fosanta and Shiala I would like you both to come with me."
"We are only allowed to leave if Kriana says so." Roskan stating as if he isn't going anywhere
"Fair enough. I hope you enjoy your trip to Thessia." Adastra gets back in the lift with Fosanta and Shiala.
"She is not serious is she?" Talmira speaking up.
"Yes. This ship will leave when Adastra says it will. Especially since she is the only one who can really fly it. I would advise you to get off to save yourselves a trip back to the Citadel." Sam sitting down next to Kate.
"Could you just tell me what is happening?"
"It is simple Kate. Do you remember the morning after we boarded when I was in her room having a talk and Kriana was about to attack us?"
"Yes but what has that got to do with this?"
"Well this time she has made another idiotic decision relating to Adastra. We have tried to give her time to fix her mistake but it is unfixable. So she had a meeting tomorrow morning on the Citadel so we are moving to Thessia now."
"A little childish is it not?"
"Not really as this is going to impact Adastra for decades. What is a meeting, half an hour to reschedule?"
"Right, I see your point."
------
"So why are we going to Thessia now?" Fosanta trying to get an idea as to what is happening
"That is where Kriana does not want us to be at the moment. I do hope C-Sec leave so it makes this simple."
"Kriana did her usual doing without thinking and for once it is going to cost her as well as everyone else this time." Shiala trying to explain.
"I still do not get it."
"I will tell everyone on-board once we have left if the C-Sec officers do not stay."
"Ok." The lift doors open and out walk the six C-Sec officers.
"Citadel control this is the ASL Enlighten requesting immediate clearance for departure." The six officers quickly head to the airlock upon hearing this request.
"ASL Enlighten you are clear for immediate departure, Citadel control out."
"Great the C-Sec crew are holding us up now." Adastra taps on the console waiting for the hull door open alert to go off. As soon as it does she issues the command to the docking walkway to move away and the clamps to release. With a cautious turn Adastra turns on the main plasma thruster and they quickly speed out of the Citadel.
It did not take long after the Citadel traffic thinned for Adastra to plot a course to Thessia and set autopilot.
-----
Everyone except Kriana had gathered on the floor to hear Adastra's brief story.
"This afternoon when Aumarva boarded I disappeared for a time with her and Sam to the shuttle deck. Aumarva had worked out from Maritha's story that I can control biotic fields and decided to see how well. Her face still remembers the answer." Aumarva smiles as the other commandos seemed a little uncomfortable. "Well Kriana saw the display on the ships camera system and told the authorities. They then upgraded me back onto the dangerous list and have started action for biotic limitation. If only she had thought to keep her mouth closed."
"What was in the box Talima brought?" Fosanta was fixated by that box for some reason.
"Sample holders for the limiting device I am to have made during our visit to Thessia."
"What does the limiter do?" Kate evidently not up to speed on this.
"It artificially limits how powerful or how well someone's biotics can be controlled. Active devices can also prevent the individual from initiating a meld with others. I could show you mine if you wait a bit Kate?"
"Why not now?"
"My device allows me to have it removed four times a day for up to fifteen minutes at a time. After a removal I must wait at least thirty minutes before the next removal. My last was only twenty five minutes ago and the next will be my last of the day and I would like a shower."
"How did you get your limiter Aumarva?" Selayla speaking up.
"An inappropriate biotic display well over a hundred years ago which could have injured many people."
"I think since we are no longer at the Citadel and everyone knows, Kriana can be let out." Shiala having a point, Adastra nods. Sam and Adastra then head back down to deck three in the lift, permanently fixing the lift as they do.
-----
"Kriana we are no longer on the Citadel but you can come back up now. We are not cold enough to not let you have a bed for the night." Sam looking at Kriana who was in thought. After a few seconds she lifted her head, showing no tears but a pained expression gave everything away.
"I did not listen to either you or Shiala because I thought there would be no consequences for me taking action. I may never be able to make up for this mistake but I hope I may be able to make an appreciable effort towards that goal in the future."
"Anything you can do to help for now will be appreciated as everything seems to be going in the wrong direction." Sam saying everything as Adastra looks drained. "Are you going to come back up?" Kriana stands up and joins the two in the lift.
-----
"Kate you said you would like to see the device?" Aumarva noting the thirty minutes have elapsed. Kate nodded. The rest of the commandos seemed to suddenly become interested. "Follow me." The interest suddenly waned as they knew they would not get to see it. The pair walk into the fourth room on the right. Seemingly a room Aumarva has claimed for herself. Aumarva reaches behind her neck and pulls out the device yet again. Kate looking a little shocked at it being nothing like what she expected.
"I expected something, smaller. Is it not uncomfortable?"
"Not really as the spine fits in between the two tubes. It is a little difficult to hide though. It is fairly flexible at least so it does not restrict movement excessively. I must go for a shower now though as the time is running out." The two leave the room with Aumarva locking the door before walking to a shower. She did not want anyone seeing the device that she had left in the room.
Adastra, Sam and Kriana exited to see Kate just sitting down. Emala jumped up to greet Kriana as if she had been gone for a week.
"We are going to head to bed. Tomorrow we should be on Thessia." Sam saying with a careful arm around Adastra.
"I should be going too as I will be up early to make sure the automatic docking goes ok." Fosanta knowing Adastra will not be keen to get up early and given the state of the ship it would be unwise to leave it to dock itself.
"I need to have an early night too." Kate added. After the four had said goodnight to everyone they all walked down the corridor together. On the way to Sam's room Adastra goes into her room and picks up the box she got from Talima taking it to Sam's room looking the door behind her.
------
Adastra put the box on the desk and looked at it as if it would suddenly start walking if she didn't. "You can open it now if you want. I think trying them on after a shower whether tonight or tomorrow morning would be an idea."
"It is just what it represents that actually makes me scared."
"I am sorry to have to say this but you do not have a choice Adastra. Do you want me to open the box?"
"No I think I can manage that. I will look at them first and then have a shower."
"Should I have a shower first then?" Adastra nods as Sam grabs a towel and heads in to the shower. Adastra rips the tape from the box and opens it up to reveal four holders. It did not take long for her to discard three of the four due to either the material or the design not meeting her approval. The one left, sample number three, was the most odd of the four but took Adastra's fancy. Sam had by this time finished in the shower and walked out to see Adastra holding up this design.
"How does that even work? It also looks too small." Sam puzzled at the design.
"I am guessing my legs go through these bottom two straps which loop around, then the rest around the body except the top two which my arms go through. According to the label on the packet it came in it is my size." Sam just laughs to himself mostly.
"I bet that is the most complicated and most difficult one to put on and take off in that box."
"Well to be fair given the material is waterproof I should not have to remove it too often, unlike some of the others. I also think the design is more me." Sam just shakes his head.
"You should get a shower as you seem keen, which is a bit of a difference from ten minutes ago." Adastra carefully places the chosen one on the top of the box and goes in to the shower. Sam just sat on the bed wondering if he would ever quite understand Adastra's oddities. The door of the shower woke him out of his thoughts as he looked over.
"Well you look much less purple now than you did this morning, is the pain any better?"
"Yes it is a little better; it will probably be mostly gone by tomorrow evening." Adastra picking up the holder off the top of the box.
"I am happy to hear that."
"Can I ask you to help me put it on?"
"You know what I was like helping Shiala." Sam sighs. "As long as you understand me being a little tentative and are not offended if I accidently touch something you may not want me to then I will."
"I would not mind at all Sam. You are just helping me get the holder on." Sam nods and the two of them begin to discuss the best way to go about doing this.
After several failed attempts Sam looks in the box at the ones Adastra had discarded. "All of these look easier to get on, and would not require two people." Sam half wondered if she had chosen it deliberately before he worked out her reasoning. "I do see why you chose the one you did as the others would probably be a little uncomfortable or would not go well with your markings."
"It was more I just liked this design Sam. Although working out how to put it on is a challenge." Sam looks a little longer at the holder that Adastra is holding up.
"I have an idea, the design may rely on your flexibility as well as its." Adastra looked puzzled for a moment and then got the same idea as Sam.
"Bend it in the middle and put the bottom half on first." Sam just nods before Adastra steps into the bottom two loops and wiggles it up her legs and over her hips. "This is going to be difficult."
"If you could kneel down I think I could help you better." Sam thinking it would be easier than having to stretch his arms up. Adastra gets down on her knees and Sam helps her get her arms through the upper part. "I hope this stretches well and you are fairly flexible."
"We can at least try Sam but you need to tell me what to do as I cannot see."
"If you could try to move your arms towards the ceiling while I get the straps over your head it would be appreciated." Adastra looks up and gives Sam a little smile. He puts his hands inside the lower two straps that are to go around Adastra's chest. As she lifts her arms up the strips slide down her arms and after a little help from Sam to get the straps past her nose it almost snaps into place, Sam's hands getting pinned temporarily under the upper strap, his fingers on her well rounded breasts. He quickly pulls his hands away going a little red at what had just happened. "I apologise Adastra. I should have thought that may happen."
"Sam. If you are going to find a partner who would like to keep you, you really are going to have to become comfortable interacting with others." Adastra stands up.
"Sorry Adastra it really is not your fault but the difference in species makes me a little nervous. You may not understand or appreciate the same things as humans do for instance."
"I know it was just helping me put the holder on and I really do not mind you touching me Sam. I would rather you did than be quite so hands off as it will just make you more nervous."
"I appreciate the advice and I will try to be a little less cautious." Adastra nods with a smile before walking over to the mirror. "What does it feel like anyway?" Adastra does a few stretches and bending over to gauge the impact on movement.
"It is less restrictive than I thought it might be. I could get used to it quite quickly." Adastra looking at the blue strapping. "It is just a bit of a pity it covers quite so much of my markings."
"I wonder if they can make the straps transparent." Adastra looks in the mirror, a smile forming on her face again as the idea forms in her mind.
"I like that idea. I think we should get to bed as that was quite a bit of effort." Adastra pulls the sheets down and sits on the bed.
"Do you not want to take it off first?"
Adastra lies down and pulls the sheets up. "I am most intrigued that you are suggesting that Sam as I would need your help again."
"Please do not tease me Adastra as I really am not happy with how I react in those situations. A little understanding and help from yourself to help improve would however appreciated."
"I apologise Sam but since you are helping me it would be wrong of me not to offer the same to you."
"Thank you Adastra."
"It is no problem. About the holder, I am going to have to get used to living with it, so I may as well start now."
"I see your point." With that Sam joins Adastra in the bed, keeping to his side so he doesn't get covered in blue flakes.
---------
Notes.
It is almost as if Adastra has a trouble magnet on her. Since the Enlighten mission is over, we will soon see the group splitting since the stop on Thessia is not going to be too long.
