Ricardo nods. "You have a point. We'll need to coordinate with local
authorities anyway, so I'll ask them."

Ricardo overhears that. "If they're in town, they may well do better
getting here or contacting civil authority in this regard...landing
areas for the 'Walk' are probably in short supply."
OOC> I have to keep reminding myself: Per Eris' description, the Walk is
a flying 2 bedroom ranch house, not a flying Chevy Suburban.
The Walk, a flying 2-bedroom ranch house, fits with ease in a small part
of the Mae Lee, which is a flying four story office building. Per the
deckplans it is 48 meters long, and 18 meters wide. At 3.5 meters
between decks, she is 14 meters high. 157 by 60 by 46 feet.
