[A ship with no weapons sounds like a thoroughly bad idea to Ari, but there's no point in criticising Moya when nothing can be done to change that from here.]
It could be L-space. I don't have the Lorentzen equations. [Ari is also very much prohibited from sharing those specific equations with anyone out-of-sector, under a century-old law, but that hardly seems relevant at present, either.
She turns to Arthur, encouragingly.]
A higher chance of improbable things happening, yes. It's not fully understood, but we've observed it in certain regions of L-space.
[Now she looks almost apologetic.] I don't think I could train you. The Tradeline cutoff is fifteen standard years, because after that the chances of success drop. I know that many years ago, in the early days of the technology, they only took on older candidates, but the failure rate was absurdly high. My own training... well, it began by taking me into L-space and having me try to do simple tasks there. I adjusted quickly enough, but I wouldn't call it easy - and I wouldn't know how to replicate it here.
