"Forget it, Pipsqueak" Symond says, then looks over at Jessica "I could try. Coffee Nebula might have interesting Alchemical properties"

Tito Woden looks at her worriedly

Jess considers Symond carefully. Tito is going to have to deal with it if she gives Symond this task.

Yes. Trollish worry there.

Symond however says "I can even bring back samples"

"Mostly just want these guys dropped off somewhere they have a chance."

"Yeah yeah, but if I do it, I want something out of it for my studies."

"Hence, samples" She adds "That's unless you don't want ME on it?"

Jess takes a moment to think. "Do you have experience in the Dreaming?"

"Some" She says with a shrug "I mean... I've been on a trod once or twice"

"Tito, this nebula... is it on a Trod?"

"It is said there are trods that lead there..." he says "But few have ever been, fewer remember. I think Symond should let a Rover handle it"

"You trying to coddle me again?" Symond huffs

Jess clears her throat "Thank you for your input, Tito Woden, but I'm looking for the best person for the job no matter what their title is and I'm not sure we have a Rover, do we?"

"Some sometimes patrol here thanks to that Olgar fellow...sometimes" He grumbles

"I'm qualified" Symond says "I'm a GEEEENIUS"

"You're a genius, Symond, as far as I'm concerned." Jess agrees "I'm not sure your genius would help directly, in this case. No shame, just looking for someone that can get these critters into the Dreaming, and hopefully to the Coffee Nebula AND get themselves back safely."

"Well, you can't send Phobos or Demos, they'll go deep then decide to EAT the chimera, traps and all" She says

Jess takes a deep breath "Ok. I'm going to see Constance. Can someone keep an eye on all these and give them drips of coffee?"

"Sure" Tito Woden nods

Constance is writing down something in the study

"Thanks." To Symond she says "Listen, I'm not saying -no-. I'm saying I need to find the best person." and she goes to see Constance.

"Hey. Can I interrupt?"

"Of course," Constance says looking up "What can I do for you?"

Jess explains about the HasBeans "... and I need someone who can navigate the Dreaming and get them somewhere they have a chance, maybe a place called the Coffee Nebula? -And- get themselves safely back home."

A concerned look then "Coy could do it. He's worked with Rovers in the past. " She clearly does not wish to send her trueheart, but she trusts his skill

"Could you call him here? I'd like to talk with him and show him these Chimera."

"He's on duty right outside, I'll go get him" she nods

"Thank you."

She finds Thane Captain Coy pretty quickly. The DeBuke comes in "You wanted to see me, Jessica?"

"Yes please." Jess explains. Again.

"Do you think this is a mission that fits your skillset?"

"Actually, yes. I've worked with Rovers before, and .... I know stories about the Coffee Nebula. Not sure I should go alone, a second set of eyes is always wise on a far search like this, but I can go alone if need be."

"Who do you want to partner with?"

"Whoever you suggest, Jessica. I khnow you have other projects you made new doing around here."

Jess inhales calmly "I do, any they're important, but I don't know all the places in your skillset that you could use support. I don't want to match your strengths, we need to fill for where you need it. So what do you need?"

"I'm not sure" He admits "I'm a good warrior, and pretty alert. Maybe someone more skilled in magic or something?"

Jess conisders "Tito Woden?"

"He'd be good" A nod "For all his boasting, he's become quite the shaman"

"Will you take some time... not too long, we want to get these chimera out of here.... and talk with him, see if he's a good fit for what you need? And if he's willing to go?"

"Sure, no worries, Jessica. You sure you want to go through all this trouble? their livers make great coffee filters"

She sighs. "Yes, I'm sure. Thanks."

"All right" he nods "I'll go talk to Tito then" And he turns to do just that
