Greetings. I am Commander Spock of the USS Enterprise, a Starfleet contingent of the United Federation of Planets. I understand that we are temporally isolated as well as spatially displaced and that this is not a subdivision of any one possible multiverse, neither a pocket dimension of any one universe, but a unique quantum singularity linking many and each possible variation thereof. If others here have scientific findings of this nature, I pre-emptively extend my gratitude in the event of any information being divulged.

[ AKA pls share ur theories. He's not human, in case anyone with eyes and ears missed the blatant memo staring them in the face, the approximation of what would happen were a dollop of raw science and a great jawline to get mixed with an elf in a blender. Spock pauses thoughtfully, glancing away, and a single slender brow arches when he looks back; there are likely a great deal of customs to be observed from numerous new species and races, none of which he seeks to offend. ]

It has been brought to my attention that this is not my first foray into Keeliai. While I would request that you exert a measure of patience with my ... freshly acquired outlook, you will find me amenable to revisiting former acquaintances. [ Again he hesitates, though this time it comes across as more of an amendment. If you've been hanging out with his BFF, prepare to explain why, how and to what end. ] Similarly, I wish to meet with any and all allies of Captain James T. Kirk at their earliest convenience.

All remaining Starfleet personnel are to submit a fully comprehensive report effective immediately regarding their time here. Audio will suffice, given the circumstances.

[ And off goes the feed. ]

Really?! Dude, that would be so cool! I would so take you up on that offer. You'll tell me if you find anything?

[dow]

I will. Which aspects of space would you prefer to investigate?

[mightythinice]

Hmm... What kind are there? Like, real stuff, not just the stuff from comics. Since I just learned real planet classifications.

[she grins widely]

So cool.

I think that's the first time I've done school stuff in at least a year.

[dow]

Perhaps it would be wise to find an encyclopedia, it would allow you to browse a range of subjects.

[ Did she just say a year, that is. That is unacceptable. ]

Ellie, has your parent or guardian currently enrolled you in a Keeliai school? [ Surely there's one somewhere. He recalls how rebellious he felt after his kahs-wan, the distraction of the desert and I-Chaya's loss all working together to make something as important as school seem so mundane by comparison. Spock doubts a child who has been out of the education system for as long as Ellie would take well to being thrown back in at the deep end. ] While you are here, your time might be better spent studying topics that solely promote your interest.

[ Such as the stars. ]

[mightythinice]

I don't have any parents are guardians. And the only guy I was with probably won't be making me go to school any time soon.

[she sighs in annoyance, some of the petulance of being a kid in the post apocalyptic world showing]

Besides, I don't want to go to school. School's a joke, they just made us clean their stupid cars and other random bullshit and called it 'military training.' I'm better off just reading an encyclopedia like you said.

[dow]

[ If that's the kind of tutoring she's been having ... ]

I will attempt to find you satisfactory reading material, Ellie. If I cannot, I will produce it myself on whatever you wish to learn about.

[mightythinice]

[She rubs her nose a bit, looking to the side while she ponders over his offer. But even hesitating was stupid and she looks back at him]

... More information about the classes of planets? I'll read that. And more about alien races.

[dow]

Would you be opposed to learning about my people? Vulcans have been the allies of Earth for centuries, where I am from.

[mightythinice]

Of course not. I've never met a real, life alien before.

Besides that would be stupid to tell you I wanna learn about every alien race except yours.

[dow]

You are a clever child. I anticipate an optimistic outlook on your studies.

[mightythinice]

[pfff]

Well, I anticipate a satisfying friendship.

[dow]

[ At one time, he would have balked inwardly at that. Somewhat eroded by Jim, he allows a small smile solely for Ellie to briefly take hold with a gracious, sincere nod. ]

It would be my honor.
