A Map of Langtsne

-Hello to everyone! By saving Aya, I've had an idea. I'm gonna go on a gas giant! But first, I will ask Aya if she wants to come with me!

Eliote is now asking for Aye to come with her.

-Tell me Aya, I was thinking of going on a gas giant to change things up from terrestrial planets! Do you want to come?

-For sure it can be quite original, but I'm a little traumatized of these planets because of the Shinryakusers Eliote!

-Ah yes that's true, sorry I forgot... Well, I think that I'm gonna choose another planet with you so, would you like to?

-Okay!

Mom joins the conversation.

-Eliote look! I found an object that was created in my time, the smartphone!

-Oh! There was a physical version?

-I look like a grandmother right now... In short, I've put a system on it so it can recharge as much as it discharges, but... Today's technology is so advanced that I don't need it anymore! I give it to you, maybe that will make someone else happy!

-Aya, at worst we can go to a random inhabited planet, are you in?

-Why not, as long as it isn't a gas giant!

-And the randomly chosen planet is called Langtsne (ラングツニ). Let's go!

Eliote and Aye find herselves on a chilly planet that looks like the parts in Iceland where there's no grass, and in the winter. Aye is the one that starts the conversation.

-What is this white thing?

-Oh! That's snow! Mom told me that it existed in the past!

-Tell me Eliote, what is snow?

-I never saw snow by my own eyes, but Mom said that it's a mix of air and ice crystals, that forms when the temperature goes down below 0°C. Ah I see someone! Aya, get ready!

Someone walks towards Eliote and Aye. It's a young woman with short blond hair and orange eyes. She has a tiny ribbon on the top of her head. She wears a long raw umber-colored coat with a black skirt underneath. She wears brown boots with black thigh high socks and black gloves. She has a backpack with two huge blank maps that are wrapped. She talks to Eliote first since Aye is behind because of her shyness.

-Oh hello! Are you explorers too?

-Yes! But we come from another planets!

-But that's incredible! I finally come across something interesting in a few days of exploration!

Aye finally goes besides Eliote and not behind!

-Are you bored while exploring Madam?

-Oh please, call me Frysta (フリスタ)! And oh yes, there are not many things going on in my journey! But I keep in shape! For now I only came across snow and ice as far as the eye can see!

Eliote stares at Frysta with a cold look for some reason.

-And how do you manage to eat on an ice world?

-Oh! I walk along the river to drink and eat! And back home we use the ocean for that!

-Ah we can drink directly the water of the ocean here?

-Oh but yes! Why couldn't we do that? Ocean is water!

Eliote looks into her stallar navigator to see what the ocean is made of.

-Ah but there's only water in the ocean of this planet, it's convenient!

Now is the turn for Aye to talk.

-By the way Frysta, why do you explore?

-Well I want my people to know what surrounds them, so I want to map the entire planet!

-My god, this will take you an eternity... Eliote, can you verify the characteristics of the planet to help her?

-So let's see... Oh that's crazy, the atmosphere of this planet is almost exactly the same as Erret (or the Earth according to Mom); dinitrogen, dioxygen and a similar atmospheric pressure! There is even the same percentage of dioxygen as back home, 21%! Ah however, bad news for Frysta... Frysta, you won't be able to explore the entire planet, it is tidally locked with its star...

-Oh! And how will that stop me?

-Even with your atmosphere, the day side of the planet is scorching hot, and the night side is freezing cold! Even if there were other places to explore, you won't survive there!

-Oh no! And I wanted to show what my planet looks like...

-Eliote, I have an idea! Your Mom gave you a smartphone, what if you use your thing that gives you wings to take a picture from space?

-Ah you talk about my medal? But that's an excellent idea Aya! I never would have thought of that! I'm glad I brought you with me!

Eliote gives a hug to Aye. Aww Aye is smiling, so cute... And after transforming, Eliote is now ready to fly high!

-Let's go!

But after like 100 kilometers high up in the sky, Eliote faces a problem.

-But why do my wings don't work anymore? Ah yes, it's true, there's no atmosphere at this point, no air; of course there's no lift anymore!

Eliote's moon «Magnetic force field»

-Well I'm gonna use the last capacity of my medal but not in the way I was thinking of!

Eliote's moon «Magnetic force field» is as the name suggests, a magnetic force field. Eliote's dress soaks up charged particles, that let her move around freely, even in the void of space. Eliote can also deviate whatever she wants by transfering some particles and then using the magnetic force field.

Eliote's dress changes color due to the particules, black for the white parts, and darker shades of purple for the magenta and purple parts. Her crescent moon turns light blue instead of yellow.

-I'm gonna go way higher!

Now Eliote is at a distance where she can see the entire planet in the picture she just took.

-Now, I'm going to go halfway around the planet and take another picture!

And there, she only sees ocean, not a single piece of land.

-Ah! Well Frysta's exploration will be even shorter than I thought.

Eliote now comes back at Aye and Frysta like an eagle.

-I'm back!

-Frysta, here are the pictures. They are two, and they cover half of the planet each! The first one is where we are, here is the continent that you will be able to explore! The second one is at the opposite of where we are. As you can see, there's only ocean! So there you go, I gift you this tool! Have fun learning how to use it!

-Oh! Thanks a lot!

-You're welcome! Good luck for exploring this continent! Aya, we're going back home!

-Okay!

Back home.

-Mom! I've made someone happy with your smartphone!

-Well that was fast!

In Eliote's bedroom, Aye is the one that starts talking.

-In summary, we helped an explorer in her work!

-See you soon on another planet!
