Yes. Yes, we did.
I have to admit, I wasn't expecting the Admiral to give me what I wanted that easily.

I didn't trust him to move the whole dimension. For all I knew, he could destroy the old one and make a copy, and I'd never know the difference! I wanted access to the real thing.
So, the Stanowar III's got a drive now that'll let me pass safely in and out of less-real dimensions.

I don't know. Probably. It's a Barge deal, isn't it? I earned it, so...the Authority's going to want to see the payoff.
I don't know if I can send a drone in by itself. These components aren't easy to replicate!
[Bill's worried, though.]
...but I could send a probe off the ship once I get to Gravity Falls, before I disembark.

Do you think you could petition the Admiral, on the grounds that the deal didn't work? He got me out once. He can do it again.
Yes. It was to be able to go in, take people out, and get them to a real place. I didn't specify the mechanics, but he must have thought the most efficient way to do it was to make it a function on the ship.
Once I'm finished with the ship. Viable space travel is harder than NASA makes it look! I'm still working out some of the kinks.
Ugh. I know.
[The moon landing is a personal betrayal.]

Stick around.

Mm.
Okay. I've got an idea of what to expect, but I'm still going to give it a try.
Breach worlds are real.
[No bug.]
The damage we leave behind does not get undone. Hrk!
[Cough. Cough!! Out comes a daddy longlegs!!]

....I don't know. I...haven't been thinking that far ahead, yet. I was expecting to have to negotiate a lot harder for the deal!
[On the one hand, he wants to be with his family. On the other, he...wants to stay with Bill, until Bill's free too. He hasn't brought it up to Stan yet.]

Ha! Feels weirder, doesn't it? Sorta tickles.
[Something about watching Ford cough up bugs makes him feel like they're little kids again, even if it's objectively very gross.]
So uh - was that what you thought was gonna happen?
