Scion's letter induces pull-out

Currently, the quality that triggers the event informing you of your scion's existence (and which lets you choose their procedence a posteriori) does so at the first routine quality check (the ones causing ztutter at zea) where it's active. This means you'll be receiving the letter one second and a half after leaving port, quite immedieately after you had your latest lovely encounter from which they are presumted to come.
While I don't know how MAGELLAN will affect these too-immedieate checks, currently I personally feel you shouldn't be informed of their existence the very moment you leave port, as it only encourages you to stop and reverse the little distance you just covered to go see your scion (this hodls specially true to first-time players who'll be much more curious).
While I'm not more versed in the technical details, it'd be nice if the scion notification came up more in the middle of a zea travel (requiring you to Ohave at least one port report would cover 99.92% of cases), or at the very least required SAY in order to pop up. Or to activate, if it's reworked into a more generic, semi-persistent "spend a SAY to open and read your mail" at-zea event category, like the hunger and no-fuel ones.
Stay sunless.

Could it be set to fire after <current Time the Healer> + 7 or something?
