Dawn Somewhere

Call for help from the Coast Guard if we need to get out in a hurry.

Would the Coast Guard be able to get there in time?

Well, then we'll be wet and embarrassed.

I'm gonna be honest, Flux.

But if that happens before Captain Guay casts off, then they're not going to shoot us to death there in the port in broad morning daylight.

The safest way to do a mission like this is with no mistakes in the first place.

You fall off a boat, and then the nearest source of help is the crew.

We'll probably get in the news and the whole world will be laughing at us.

If the crew is trying to kill you, that's pretty bad.

I thought your teleportation was accurate enough for this sort of thing, though.

If we had to bail from the ship, then that almost certainly means the crew could overpower us to begin with.

It is.

I'm just trying to think of every contingency.

Larry and I came up with a list of possible things that can go wrong, and it was a struggle to come up with answers to everything.

Like what?

For example, hot air balloons.

Were the two of you smoking crack?

You said that Captain Guay probably doesn't deliver contraband directly.

So I thought, what if he's using mylar balloons?

What if?
