I frowned and suppressed that instinct.  As it stood, it was dangerous.  If he was flying and I got knocked out, he might keep flying.

…that’s exactly what I pointed out!

The same might apply if I was turning, or adjusting to compensate for my weight and got distracted partway through.

Suddenly you’re going in circles.

Also, if you get knocked out while calling for Bailey to come to you, but the others get you out and to a doctor, John Cleese might not be happy.

Even less so if you ask Bailey to stay close and defend you.

No, after testing it I didn’t like how slippery it made the navigation feel.  I’d only use it on a case-by-case basis.

Hey, at least you can toggle it, so if it does come in handy sometime, it’s available.

Besides, it was something I could do with my power anyways, with greater effect and nuance.  I’d been knocked out once, and my power had continued directing insects by my last given order.

Hm. Might that still happen with Bailey even with this instinct suppressed, or even before Amy added this feature?

Irritating.

If it’s Amy you’re irritated at now, please cut her some slack. She was trying.
