*A more girlish, staccato giggle slips from my mouth at the simplistic response*

Hierophant's eyes, you're demanding. I'll need a few minutes.

*The line goes dead for five minutes. Eventually, a more tired, slightly more irascible voice returns.*

Alright. I took the first six prime number entries that corresponded to a number from your first transmission and wrote for them the first verse of the corresponding chapter in the first six books of the Paracletia. I also dumped the Eschatologue's records. I have the data all packaged up, hopefully in a format your kind accepts, and I'm trying to send it your way, if my triangulation is somewhat accurate, along with a live video feed.

*I smile a winning smile at the camera embedded into the burnished golden panels*

The referral may need to wait. I'm from... more than a little distant, and my closest contact in these parts isn't available at the moment. Anyone else would be circumstantial.

@PentagonWhite

This planet is not filled with "my kind." Regardless, I will accept your documents.

Thanks. I think that was actually one of the things Dad had considered naming me, actually.

@Heroic

Oh?

*The grin grows even wider*

If we keep this up we'll be at this forever, Whoever-you-are. 'The insights could be fabricated', 'Those fabrications would be detectable and thus provide further information', 'Impromptu decision making might inform more of my baseline character', 'You might be prepared for a myriad of questions and thus only use the perceived lack of preparation as a means of disguise'.

*I clear my throat, more for emphasis than any perceptible change in vocal timbre*

Anyways: I have more knowledge of scripture than anyone in this Galaxy. I have the Eschatologue's record of the cosmic microwave background for the last few years, in addition to the initial coordinates of every FTL leap. I can send pictures or a video feed that can be proven live, or...

*I pause, to think. A handful of seconds passing alongside even breaths.*

I could call a referral for my good character and piety?

@PentagonWhite

Certainly. I would also like this information from them as well.

I can't because I don't know where she is. She's at the same place she last talked to David and I never knew where that was. I don't want to have her move because that's ooc for her, she'd rather wait for someone to come back than move due to plot reasons.

@DarkwolfX37

She's somewhere in the base. Everyone else is also in the base. Really, it's not a big deal if you make something up; we always used to. As you said yourself, no need to ask for permission.

*A full bodied laugh this time, ringing from my lips, fills the small cockpit with mirth. The cheshire smile on my lips inherits the joy.*

I only have one problem with that. We've only just met, but you seem like the type that wouldn't much like proof that I give. Surely, any proof that I have of my own intentions could have been prepared in advance, some sort of misdirection for whatever it is you think I might be scheming. Surely it would be better if you asked for some piece of proof I couldn't predict, then showed it to you: if my story is accurate, any evidence would reflect its veracity, no?

@PentagonWhite

Perhaps. But asking you to generate your own provides additional insight into who you are as an individual.

@Legend

*My eyes roll in puerile frustration, a scoff of disappointment slipping from pale rose lips.*

I'll provide whatever proof you want. Anyone so standoffish near something so interesting must be worth some effort. What do you need from me?

@PentagonWhite

A reason to believe you.

Myriad Reality

Okay seriously is anyone in the place that my mystery character is? Where even was that that she interacted with David?

@DarkwolfX37

I don't know. Have her talk to someone.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

I prefer the term "stunning".

@Heroic

You are an enigma.

Myriad Reality

Well, if you're willing, I'd love to meet face to face. Radio is so impersonal, I can feel myself missing important details. If you're down on that planet, I assume you've got some way to not get killed by all the energy being thrown around: is there room for two?

@PentagonWhite

Several more than two. I would rather you prove your identity before we accept the risk.

*I finally complete my preparations, suit donned and levels normal. The Eschatologue’s warm deck is no longer felt beneath thick boots when I make contact bouncing to and fro, and the minor changes due to lack of gravity on my physiology have been rectified thanks to the form-hugging suit.*

My intent? I’ve come to see all there is to see! And learn all there is to learn, of course. It’s the duty of all Pilgrims. I assume you’re not the type to answer questions and help me on my way?

@PentagonWhite

I answer a plethora of questions. However, gauging the intent of those I interact with is necessary.
