As you walked out of the airlock that connected the drydock that Big Sister ChiChi was resting in, you turned and looked back at the ship forms of yourself and your big sisters.
It was different looking at yourself with your own eyes. It felt odd to have your ship body so far from you... but then, that was fine... you could survive this.
More than that, given that you were in a group of your more experienced big sisters, you'll be fine. A fact that you keep insisting to yourself as you were dragged to a ferry shuttle that was being controlled by a virtual intelligence in place of an actual intelligence like you and your big sisters.
It was adorable that someone had given said ferry shuttle a pet to interact with the customers. That the Eldanar wasn't a real person was obvious to your senses. It didn't have the quantum entanglement that your body had, it didn't hold a presence in the local subspace like you or your big sisters.
Still, your big sisters hired the service of the ferry shuttle for your stay with one plasma credit. Certainly the ferry shuttle's pet was more than happy with the payment and seem to feel that it was generous.
Still, as you were ferried about... you were exposed to a surprising number of creatures inhabiting Port Royale. Here and there, you could sense and see other sisters as they negociated for various items. Or simply wandering about with a pet.
You also discovered something amazing... the countless variety of ice cream, candies, and assorted tasty meals.
All of which was... virtually free, given their cost being a small fraction of a plasma credit.
And thus, you and your big sisters wandered from shop to shop, from restaurant to restaurant, in search of delights while the ferry shuttle and its pet ferried you about the city within the hull of Elder Sister Royal.
