Right. Well, I'll keep looking for anything that might be useful, and I'll let you know if I find something. Glad there are people here who can work on the science stuff.

[Seriously, they are sure fortunate that the portal has brought in those it has. It's one more point in favor of it not being random - because surely a random sample of dead people across so many worlds wouldn't be so skewed toward those who are relatively young, and highly skilled in things like combat, science, and magic.

Then again, maybe it's just that there are enough people here where every skill has a use. Even those who are cooks and musicians contribute in important ways when they have to collaborate to live successfully.]
