Parsec is a measure of distance. About…19 trillion miles, if I'm remembering correctly. You can tell I don't have to do that conversion often.

[ no matter how far flung the world, kids know what a parsec is. ]

Hyperdrives are what let us travel those distances. Instead of traveling in realspace which could take years and that's if the system you want to travel to is nearby never mind on the other side of the galaxy, hyperdrives let ships travel through hyperspace. Basically, faster than light travel.

Didn't lose you again, did I?

No, I think I understand.

[ Parsec is distance - a lot of distance. Hyperdrives let you go the distance. It's more complicated than that, but simple terms will do until she can corner Hank and pick his brains. ]

This is my first time in space.

Oof. [ aphra winces sympathetically. ] First time's always rough. Especially that "not being able to go outside" thing. Few weeks in you get used to it. Who knows, maybe you'll be a spacer yet.

Maybe. [ Raven can think of a thousand or so other things she'd rather be doing, but here they were. ] I've been in worse places.
