[After this has occurred.]

Ms Persson, it has come to our attention that you have been engaging the teleports for non-approved use. The teleporters require a large expenditure of energy, thus, as per regulation, they should be restricted to official use only. If petty revenge must be had, there is no shortage of cliffs near the facility, nor a shortage of scientists capable of making holograms which could produce the same effect you sought. In the future, therefore, do be more respectful of resort property.

As disciplinary action, I am assigning you to a day of mandatory teleporter operator’s school, and, on your next offworld trip, you must bring back a certain flowering plant not yet present in our gardens. The Rafflesia arnoldii. The samples must include both a live plant to place immediately in the garden, and seeds to replicate for further use.

[Jeffers likes rare flowers.

He voice chances from stern to his usual light and soothing tones.]


Thank you and have a lovely day.

My apologies, Jeffers. It won't happen again.

[She's entirely sincere. The class gets a shrug—easy enough, if tedious—but the plant request—]

A flowering plant? All right. [So nonplused. Una's not a botanist and she doesn't connect that scientific name with the so-called corpse flower.

She'll figure that out later.

I see. [The catch. What's the catch?] I don't suppose you have any information about where they're native? At least then I can plan accordingly.

[Dryly: How exciting. Well, I'll arrange my plans accordingly and keep you apprised of my progress.
