Hexfield Visitor

[epicfrizz]

[There's something coming in on the Hexfield viewscreen!

It appears to be a short, yellow school bus...with rockets? There are no children on board, just a woman with crazy orange hair and a lizard on her shoulders. She looks up from her console and waves, clearly delighted, before honking the horn.

The viewscreen zooms in on her. She has her messy orange hair in a bun and appears to be wearing an outfit covered in planets and stars, her earrings (however) are a pair of Sputnik 1 satellites.]

Good morning, space cadets!

I hope you don't mind me passing by your satellite. I was doing a routine inspection of the bus's orbital stability and rocket boosters when I noticed your lovely ship and just had to get a closer look!

[She looks at the lizard]

It's a shame the class isn't here, Liz, I would love to teach them about satellites. Hmm, I might have to make a note of that. We've already been to space once, but as I always say "there's always room for more space!"

[Did her earrings just glow briefly?]

Oh, but I suppose you all know all about satellites seeing as you are aboard one right now.

So--you're... some sort of, of space expert, you are? [He squints at her, dubious]

Hardly think there can be more space. Kind of endless. Hardly enough things to even fill it with, sort of astounding.

[epicfrizz]

I'm a science teacher. I have to know about a wide variety of science fields. Although, I do admit, I have a special love for space.

Well, if it never ends then there is always more, right? And it just keeps expanding. It IS all astounding.

[alleyenobrain]

A teacher! So you're the starter point, for all the science learnings, aren't you, huh. [Gives her another look] Explains a lot.

Wait, is it expanding? What's it need to do that for, it's massive already. Sort of senseless.

[epicfrizz]

Because that's just how the galaxy works. It's growing~ growing~ growing~ Stars exploding, planets orbiting, celestial bodies whizzing through space! It's marvelous.
