[How to work inferior tech? Right. All you see is a nice shot up Kirk's nose and a disgruntled noise before it just goes to black. What is this? Really?]

Right, so some city. I'm sure you all get the same yammering, but seriously? There's an earth ending crisis I'm in the middle of and need to get back to. Now. [There's a pissed off Romulan he needs to go punch.]

So tell me who is in charge and how we go about leaving this place.

Also, did I somehow timewarp into the past, because I've only seen a device like this in a museum.

Spasiba!

Ginny Weasley? She flies brooms.

[Yes, Kirk, you needed to know that.]

Other deities, from what I have gathered. One may leave, but the rest stay. A new deity has arrived since I did.

[unregulated]

Yes, I know. She told me.

How many are there?

[candothat]

[He would like to ask if Kirk also knows that Ginny can teach others how to fly on broomsticks and that she used to live in a sentient castle and--

But Chekov is well-trained, Kirk is the captain as far as he's concerned, and he deserves a serious answer.]

I have seen four on this network, sir--Laszlo, Fice, Lina, and one other woman, I forgot her name. Laszlo is the only one I have spoken with. I thought that he was reasonable.

[unregulated]

Reasonable enough to keep us here? [He raises an eyebrow.]

[candothat]

Reasonable for a definition of reasonable that allows for abduction.

[unregulated]

Which isn't reasonable.

[candothat]

How reasonable is defined must be changed, sir, or we will need to accept that very little is reasonable here.

[unregulated]

And you're willing to bend your definitions to their standards, Chekov?

[candothat]

No, sir.

[unregulated]

Good, because what's reasonable back home should be reasonable here.

[candothat]

The deities may disagree.

[unregulated]

Do you think that makes them right? Just because they're more powerful?

[candothat]

That would be ridiculous--with all due respect.

[unregulated]

These are basic definitions, Chekov. They're not going to change because someone wants to change the game.

[candothat]

These are all semantics. Ca--sir, the deities control the game, not change it. It is like a simulation that cannot be tampered with.

[unregulated]

Everything can be tampered with.

[candothat]

Yes, sir.

[And if something can be tampered with, surely Kirk will find a way to do so.]

[unregulated]

How long have you been here? Longer than Bones?

[candothat]

Ninety-five days. The Doctor was here prior to my arrival and left, and then he came back after I had been here for a short time.

[unregulated]

He told me he left and came back. Interesting.
