"It is," Ten-Nank replies, answering the last point first. "Please remember that snatching individuals isn't commonplace to void travel. There are tethering stations, regulations. There is research, as some would point out. Machines. Buildings, places to home the body, the being. Ways to monitor them. Ways to safely break the tether, to recall individuals if there is danger in the void. But if a tether is somehow made without these pre-cautions - I have reports already from a few that they were taken from war. Where were a person the moment before they were tethered? Planets have many dangers. They are still exposed to those dangers. Your volunteered Void Warriors would be leaving their bodies behind to their planet. Which, I suppose doesn't matter to everyone. As long as you don't mind being bound to a craft."

"This is you. It represents you as you know you: your essence, soul, spirit, life. Whatever word you use. Those things. It is everything you know yourself to be, including functions."
