You were one of the hosts of the recent festivities, were you not? It was a lovely affair. Charming decor, excellent drinks.

Perhaps you could enlighten me on how you selected the planets that were projected to the dancers. I've found myself quite curious about it.

[madgoddess]

Thank you for the kind compliment. It was as memorable an evening as I could have hoped for, some later disturbances notwithstanding.

Indeed, those were a true highlight of the event. Did you enjoy seeing yours?

[ She doesn't actually answer the question... this is not accidental. ]

[intelligenceofficer]

"Enjoy" is not the word I'd use. "Surprised" would be more accurate.
Surprised someone on the ship has the data necessary to generate such an experience for every crewmember, when no such database exists.

[madgoddess]

Somehow I do not think "enjoy" is a regular part of your vocabulary, regardless. Perhaps that it something you should examine.

"Data" is subjective. It is not all contained in binary and code.

[intelligenceofficer]

[She's right but that's besides the point.]

That information must have come from somewhere. I want to know how your got you hands on it.

[madgoddess]

Have you considered that it could have come from the dancers themselves?

Alternatively, you might speak with Maccadam. He has a more... colloquial way of explaining things, if that would assist you.

[intelligenceofficer]

I certainly didn't, and I would bet I'm not the only one.

I spoke with Maccadam. "Colloquial" is a very generous adjective for the nonsense he provided.

[madgoddess]

In this place, above nearly any other, it pays to have an open mind.

Is that right? Most find his demeanor charming, since he's cultivated it that way.

[intelligenceofficer]

[An "open mind" was exactly what he was concerned about, assuming they had access some sort of telepathic technology to scan memories.]

He may be charming, but his answer wasn't.

[madgoddess]

Our dear bartender, like many of his libations, is an acquired taste.

You seem surprisingly concerned about this... others were far more accepting. Is there something you wish to share?
