"Sure." Tip peered over her shoulder and quickly jotted down the address, then went over to one of the library computers. "It looks like it's on a local network, so not having the whole internet shouldn't be a problem."
She typed the address into the browser, then bopped her head for a few moments while the computer made the connection and loaded an image.
"That map. It looks kind of like Galactica Point, right?"
So did her image. A small horizontal sketch of it, to be precise. And arrow pointed to a particular rock formation, and there was some text added in all caps. "UP UP DOWN DOWN LEFT RIGHT LEFT RIGHT B-SHAPE A-SHAPE," Tip read. "Sounds like trying to teach someone to drive Slushious."
That was what happened when you had your family car repaired by someone who only vaguely understood the concept of one.

Tip was not a gamer, no. Having to deal with actual alien invaders kind of took the fun out of digital ones for her.

Doing it herself smacked firmly of heroics and she was done with that for now. Yes.

Because it was that or saying 'not anymore' or maybe 'trying not to be.'
