For just a second. . . like, they blink their eyes, an enchantment carries their brainwaves or something, through some magi-science techno-babble, into the computer's data storage while the gods are actually still in their own locations in the real world. . . Like a dream, that can seem like a very long time, but only be minutes, or even less time, than a minute, but feel like hours, or days, maybe even weeks or longer. 

Then, they wake out of their enchanted state. Basically, just fancy telepathy.
