Rosalind putters, as does the other version of herself. She seems a little surprised when she spots the variation but says nothing as she sets about filling and activating the small coffee maker on the dresser. Once it has burbled to life and she is sorting through the many small packets in the dish next to it, she answers his questions.

"If we are speaking technically," she begins and its very, very clear that she prefers to speak technically. "Each structure that required suspension began with a layer of entangled material that was then encased in a great many helium balloons, steel beams, and propellers. People, it turns out, are considerably more comfortable if there is an apparent apparatus by which they assume levitation operates, you see. Atop that bit of theatrical frippery any and all facilities were built.

"The vertical position of the suspended molecules were my doing, as were the controls to adjust that position in space. The rest of the city taking flight was...more or less incidental. Like hanging a shelf and then having...someone build a city on it."

She's not given to diminishing her own work, but she's also not given to letting people credit her for more than is her doing. She can't make just anything take flight...well...she can but the process is rather unfriendly to most living creatures and better suited to advanced preparations.

"I will say, some of the secondary engineers were quite clever, in their way. The Battleship Bay false beach and shoreline was an exceptionally interesting attraction amid all the interlocking platforms. I've never been one for the outdoors but the fact that they were ambitious enough to build it was almost worth the energy to keep it suspended and heated."
