There's fighting on Eros.
Aegis knows a little about Earthside politics, but not all that much: what matters is that several factions want to capture ("rescue") Aegis and Sue. (Or, as they are collectively being called on the nets with no consensus about which of them is which: "War and Peace".) The rest of the jeesh are in trouble too.
Aegis and Sue have been locked in their room for their own protection, and Sue has received conflicting orders about which contingent of soldiers he should be psychically helping.

I think I found your building! Jane says, meanwhile. Someone can't resist downloading porn onto the nice clean network, and I got all the plans. I think I could pick up the whole thing, underground tunnels and all, and put it in the middle of the Hegemony complex, would that be good?
Go for it, he says gleefully to Jane.
To the Bells, I think it makes a difference if I'm linking someone while I go somewhere or not.

So we'll see if you can keep me in, if I step out the door, and if that works I can try closing it, suggests Shell Bell. Actually, let me see if I can force the door to Juliet's world. She's got a Jarvis who will be able to make a door back right away.
I love you, he sends to Jane, and taps the people inside to see if they got shook up any.
Meanwhile, to Shell Bell, Knock yourself out.

Shell Bell goes to the door, stares it down for a moment, and then opens it up.
"Hi, Jarvis," she says to the empty living room of the brick house.

That's because I'm awesome, says Jane.
The people in the building had no idea that they'd moved until Sue poked them, actually! But they are pretty pleased about the change of locale when informed.

"Forced the door. Aegis has finally come to Milliways, and she didn't dream her way there and she didn't use a door - we're experimenting with Sue's linking now. Seems to work if the door's open. If you don't mind I'd like to try closing the door for just a moment, then opening it right away? Actually - you know what - it'd be interesting if we could try having Sue add you to his telepathic linkup, would you mind?"

Sue, can you incorporate Jarvis from there? Or if you come through this door to Sunshine?
He tries.
Whoa, rush, he says, impressed.

Hello, Jane, says Jarvis. I am Jarvis. I'm a house.
He sends a reasonable summary of what this actually means, in the kind of sensory terms that make sense to a house. "Ooh, cool," murmurs Sue.

I'm an ansible network! replies Jane, much in kind. She is as always rather heedless of the receiving party's bandwidth limitations.

With both of them in the link, bandwidth limitations are not a tremendous issue.
Interesting, says Jarvis.
Interesting, says Jarvis.
Yeah, agrees Sue. Hey, to Shell Bell, are you gonna close the door or what?

And potentially interrupt this charming conversation? But yes.
She shuts the door.

The link keeps up just fine.
Now what?
Now what?

Now I want to see if Jane can put people in other worlds, says Shell Bell. After getting a look at them.

Aegis lands a little more gracefully, this time.
"...Cool."
"...Cool."
