Jex nodded. "Well, it's kind of complicated really...um...basically, one end of it shoots out heat and energy, which makes the boat it's connected to move the other way. Sort of like backlash after casting a powerful spell, except more controlled. Basically I'll put one in the back, facing out so the ship can move forward. I'll also have to add two more, one on each side, so the ship can maneuver easily, too." Jex noticed Kanariel dry-heaving over the side of the boat, far enough away that she couldn't hear their conversation. He crossed over to her. "You all right? Well, of course you're not if you're almost puking your guts out. I suppose we'll get used to it soon...or we'll regurgitate a vital organ and die a slow and painful death. Actually I've never seen it happen, but it would be an interesting sight."
