[Look, someone is actually taking it easily, making notes and recording everything that happened lately so he can go through it all later and pick thing apart.]

I'm probably looking too much into this but-

[He shifts, wincing slightly as he sits more upright.]

We're here for entertainment right? Could Atroma have staged that attack? It doesn't seem like they gave a damn during the attack and, I mean, the Marsiva wasn't touched, was it? What would be more entertaining for people than seeing us all in real danger?

If they're willing to just kidnap us, they wouldn't be above this!

Even without the optimism, I'm determined. I don't give in easily.

[universal_charm]

I'm beginning to get that idea.

Have you uncovered anything new since the party?

[touchallthebooks]

Not much, nothing useful in any case. I learned from Belthazar that people can go home in some form, at least, and come back. It's purely mental.

[universal_charm]

That's... not entirely true. I was in a coma and 'went back', but some people have physically disappeared and returned. It happens both ways, and sometimes people come back with no memory of this place at all.

[touchallthebooks]

Really? [Time to adjust his notes.]

Is there anyone here you know of that left and came back? I wouldn't want to miss a chance to talk about it.

[universal_charm]

I think Beverly might have, if I recall correctly. I know there have been others, and some still are here, but no one particularly recent. Beverly Crusher might know more - she has been here longer than me, and I have only heard the stories.

[touchallthebooks]

Hang on... [Writing down the name so he'll remember. He has good memory but it's not worth taking that chance.]

Alright, I'll have to find her and talk to her.

[universal_charm]

Tell her Jim Kirk sent you, though I'm sure she'll talk to you just fine without that. Allen and Crowley have been here awhile too - so they'll probably have a string of examples too.

[touchallthebooks]

['Allen' and 'Crowley' added to his notes as well.]

Still, I'd rather not just send a message out of the blue. It feels rude.

[universal_charm]

Hmm, I can try and make introductions, but to be honest I don't know Crowley or Allen all that well. I'm better acquainted with Beverly more than anyone else.

[touchallthebooks]

I appreciate that but you don't have to go out of your way.

[universal_charm]

It's not really, so don't worry about it. Just be careful in your research is all I ask. No blowing holes in ships by accident, please.

[touchallthebooks]

I don't plan on using any explosive spells so I don't think you'll have to worry about that. And it's been a long time since I lacked that kind of control with my spells.

[universal_charm]

Sorry, the captain part of me always comes out when talking about 'experiments'.

[touchallthebooks]

If I plan any in the future, I'll do my best to do it on a planet we visit. With at least two people knowing where I go in case I blow myself up. Deal?

[universal_charm]

It certainly makes me feel better. Kidnap victims have to look out for each other, after all.

[touchallthebooks]

I'm used to looking out for myself. Try not to worry about me too much. [Even if he is still kind of young.]
