Five people? That is too many people. It's a testament to how excited he is about going to space and doing space things that Dustin isn't immediately disappointed to hear this. Instead his eyes get wider, this time in floored disbelief.

"Wait, wait," he says, giving a quick shake of the head. "Since you've had to use them? You're telling me you have spaceships - working spaceships - and you don't just, you know--"

There's some odd gesturing between Cal and the hull of the ship they're having this conversation underneath, as if his point were obvious.

"--use them all the time? Do they only have set destinations or something? Even if they do and they're basically just glorified shuttles to this..." Dustin makes an exaggerated shrug. "...other city that I'm just now hearing exists. It can't possibly suck more than this place, can it? Please tell me how it's not worth flying a spaceship to whenever you can get away with it."
