What Gene has to say about her drawing of the ship catches her completely off-guard. "I'm sorry?" she replies, quite off-put by the description of 'old sailing ship'. "The Legacy is a modern frigate of the navy. I assure you, she is not at all archaic. What manner of ships has your world used for your limited space ventures?"

Clearly a bit ruffled about the phrase - old sailing ship! - Amelia proceeds to answer Gene's other questions. "No, the masts do not retract at all, and it is difficult for ships to exit planetary atmospheres. Normally they remain outside it, docking at the nearest spaceport instead."
