A while ago, I asked if humanity had made contact with aliens by the time period of others on the Barge. It seemed like most people had at least sent people into space. We've set up space colonies orbiting Earth, but we haven't made first contact with any alien lifeforms yet. Space travel isn't necessarily uncommon, but only politicians and military officials frequently travel between Earth and the Colonies.

What's considered normal technology for your world? Is commercial space travel available?

I'm still interested in sparring, assuming another flood isn't going to hit in the next few hours.

Portals?

[lifeafterhope.livejournal.com]

Magic.

[resultofwar]

How does it work?

[lifeafterhope.livejournal.com]

I don't know, I'm not a mage.

[resultofwar]

Can non mages use them?

[lifeafterhope.livejournal.com]

Yes. You walk through them and you're wherever they want you to be.

[resultofwar]

Convenient.

[lifeafterhope.livejournal.com]

For the mage, yes. For everyone else, not always.

[resultofwar]

How many mages are there, on average?

[lifeafterhope.livejournal.com]

On average?

It's not an unpopular profession. But not all of them can do it.

[resultofwar]

Why not?

[lifeafterhope.livejournal.com]

It takes power and skill like anything else.

[resultofwar]

How common is the ability?

[lifeafterhope.livejournal.com]

You'd have to ask one of them.

[resultofwar]

Understood.
