*I grab a piece of trash from the ground that would be no bigger than a morsel of paper as it begins to glow incandescently*

Well... it really does depend on what is the official definition of science Officer Heelton... *I say pensively*

@The Monitor 2

Droll: Can't call myself a scientist. I leave that to the lab coats.
*Ceremonially turns my cup upside down and sets it on the counter*

Hmmm Mhmh... *I nod blankly as i snap my fingers and a cube of contained collapsar matter appears next to you* So how much energy do you think some collapsar matter processed into a quantum fuel cell would supply? Also she's totally into you *I snicker* How can you be so dense... i wonder for how long did she had that crush...

@The Odeoron

We would need to process it.

Nnnnoooooooo! *I yelp and continue blushing as i throw my cup of tea at Ben's head* @Etcetera

@Gerald 1

*Immediately draws my gun at Ben*
What did you do!?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Yeah but from what your lassie there said, you are at the furthest edges of your civilization's local galaxy cluster... meaning, just how much energy do you need to get back to your core galaxy?

@The Odeoron

A lot. This won't be an immediate journey.

<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

Hey!! I'm his friend not his spouse... if whatever you are using translated that word right...@Etcetera *I blush visibly*

@Gerald 1

*Waves off the comment in the frustration of the moment*

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*smirks* Why shouldn't it be one? Isn't it a thaumaturgical device manipulating one of the fundamental forces of nature of our universe? *adjusts my voice* Ahem... i mean technological not thaumaturgical...

@The Monitor 2

Droll: Gravity, a fundamental force. What part does that play outside the realm of science?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*Sighs flustered* Hey i get you... but can you at least tell me what you would need to get back home the most? At least something that you could do on your own?

@The Odeoron

Energy is the key to all things. We'll need to charge our reactor to get back.

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Well... you were touched by divinity, and got close to a forbidden ancient magical artifact... how does that sound for a reason? And yes, i refer to the black hole reactor that the government just likes to call it 'technology' *I make quote marks with my fingers ironically* so as to avoid mass panic.

@The Monitor 2

Droll: And what makes you consider that old thing a religious artifact?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

I'm an... alien... and at the same time, a traveller, who tends to not get along very well with the laws of physics... also i'm equally as lost as you... and i can help you get out of this bind if you want.

@The Odeoron

And feed us to your pets you keep worlds away? I can't say I'm sold on your offer.

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

I don't represent the whole order young one! *I chuckle* And you'd be surprised just how pious most monks are especially the oracle circle. But me... i'm just a recluse hermit who goes along with the order as best as i can.

@The Monitor 2

Droll: Then I ask again, what brings you here specifically, revered one?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Yes... buuut... this is my cheat day! You'd think Lysthiell would not bother with such minor rule skipping... after all, i did travel from Planet Ley-9 all the way to here with the speed of though... so the powers have not been taken away as a punishment.

@The Monitor 2

Droll: The order is perhaps less pious than I originally thought.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Hmm... cute... I don't know what i am anymore dude... Honestly... *My copy merges back with me* and that tea smells awfully a lot like a herb my people liked to smoke despite it being illegal everywhere...

@The Odeoron

It doesn't have much of a scent to me. But that's not important. What are you, alien?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*I savour every drop of the substance* First off, that station was a sacrilege, i remember the early days when i first decided to dedicate my life to ascetism. The empire was so proud with their technology that could defy the universe... *I carry on rambling about the good old days* Anyway where was i, you were touched by a higher being. This is why i came here, whatever transpired here, is no longer mere diplomacy between living organic beings, like ourselves, and containment protocols for deadly anomalies...

@The Monitor 2

Droll: *Interjects on one of the rabbit trails*
Doesn't scorch violate your asceticism?

Myriad Reality

@Etcetera
*Offers you the tea without saying a word as i keep sideyeing the alien Ben with evident paranoia*

@Gerald 1

*Takes the tea and blows on it*

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

What do you think i meant? *I proceed to divide myself as the other me slumps to the ground bored*

@The Odeoron

Exactly what I said. Are you some kind of computer representation?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*Nods in understanding* The ways of the higher beings elude us even to this day son... but i've seen a pattern of denying the existence of more than what we can toy with using our limited abilities increase rather alarmingly across the United Empire. *Looks at the liquid* OOH! is that SCORCH?! *I start salivating in true recluse old geezer fashion*

@The Monitor 2

Droll: Erm. Help yourself.
*Pours another cup*
You were saying?

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

So uummm... do i go for a space swim oorrr....?

@The Odeoron

*Glances back to Oriell*
First. What do you mean you made a copy?
