    Summary

    "Flying was everything I had ever wished for, and more. It’s one of the best experiences I ever had in my long life, even though it was during wartime.”
    Hob goes on to explain how much fun he’d had in gliders between the two wars, and how he’d been a pilot again during World War 2. He describes the race to space, and how it had really wrenched his heart that he could not take part in it. It would have been way too dangerous for his anonymity.
    “And that’s why, when the 21st century started, I decided I wanted to understand how it worked. I got a degree in aeronautics, and before I knew it I was in the middle of a PhD. That’s how I became a physicist.”
    “I remember recruiting two physicists in 1909, to work for me," Dream says pensively. “Henri Bénard and Theodore von Kármán.”
    Hob’s eyebrows lifts.
    “You had a bit of a vortex problem?”

    ---

    Or, Hob decided to study aerodynamics, and uses his knowledge to investigate the phenomenon of the dream vortex. And falls in love in the process.
