How many steps did it take to put an elephant in a refrigerator?

That raised another question: what if there wasn't a refrigerator big enough?
The Solar System Wormhole was a small wormhole to begin with. Ordinary warships could barely squeeze through; for a colossus like the Long-Lived One, it was little more than a narrow, winding footpath.
There was no way to simply stuff him through.

Well... convincing the Long-Lived One had been a little difficult...
After all, in all the Long-Lived One's years, being cut into seven or eight pieces and reassembled was an experience he had certainly never had before. There was always a little resistance to one's first time.
