Jason, this is EXACTLY why I posted the question. I feel the same way, but I
just wondered if there might be a way to do it. I think that the quest would
have more clout of actually having happened if it were posted in progress.
But, you are right, you can't transmit data.
I guess the best way to do this is to have a "running" commentary on
what's going on in the physical world. (i.e. Shields keeping everyone
informed.) Then, Jasmine can recount what happened during the quest later.
