jumped without a jump drive

Nick, in a full environment suit like any sensible person would wear in untamed wilderness, is overseeing a small swarm of robots harvesting various useful plantlife from the uninhabited parts of a sparsely settled planet, when something suddenly comes tearing through the undergrowth towards him and it's not showing up on scanners-

He raises his hand-phaser, notices it has a mirror for a face and hesitates a little too long. And then he is in a clearing, cut off from his ship and 'bots, with all available sources of data telling him he just went through a jump.

What.

Kaja comes out with some other paladins in about half an hour. "Hello, Nicholas. What brings you here?"

"The lights would be most useful in the kitchen, probably, and perhaps an empty stall for the generator, the stable being made of stone and needing to be kept warm anyway? Unless it would disturb the griffins and winged horses. The tallest point of the compound is the temple spire but I don't think you should put things on it; perhaps the top of the novices' dormitory."

"How much noise? And we can go wait for her to have a moment if you need to speak to her anyway."

To the Bright Sister's office they go. "That might or might not bother our companions but it's probably difficult to move, isn't it?"

"Maybe the armory. It doesn't matter if the armory is loud."

"I checked; someone did break a staff recently but the sword was fine and it's already been attached to a new staff. You could still fix it for next time someone needs one, though."

"That sounds nice."

Here is the office. They sit down to wait.

Kaja just sits patiently.

Eventually the door opens and in they go. Kaja relates the plans. The Bright Sister thinks the best place for the generator will be in a specific dormitory, which Kaja says she will show Nick, but otherwise has no modifications to suggest to the plan.

Kaja goes along to make it clear that he is authorized and show him where things are.

"Do they need maintenance besides the batteries?"

"All right. Thank you very much."

The most popular books around here seem to be Precepts of the Winter Light, an almanac, an epic poem called The Morning Sword, and the collected plays of a playwright from the capital city of this country.

There are a few enterprising young underemployed persons who'd like to check out his offer.
