[For those uninitiated, suddenly experiencing thought-speak is probably pretty strange. It's sort-of-but-not-quite like telepathy, almost, and it's apparently coming out of your communicator. Weird!

The "voice," such as it is, sounds young, male, and somewhat wary.]

<Hello.

Does anyone here know what "protocol S-1704" is?>

( he's fine he's just more hopeful than ever before, this restores his cheer to his normal levels. hah! take that, space! )

Isn't that exciting?! Think of how much you'll surprise yourself learning all these things which wouldn't have been possible to learn before. There are answers to be found! New horizons to explore!

( because they are in space which also has no horizon because it is space, but he's pretty sure some movie has said that, and it sounds like what he means. for the most part. )

<I would prefer to find a way back to our respective proper places, but I suppose I see what you mean.>

[This is not the TIME for scientific excitement Victor]

( it is exactly the time, Aximili )

Yes, I want that too, but think of it! What you knew before said it wasn't possible. Yet it is! So what other improbable solutions might we find? Ones that might, say, get us back to our respective proper places?
