week 2, Tuesday evening;

[nullary]

[ He'll waltz right in if the door's open, then. ]

Why hello there, my favorite man in the building...I'm not distracting you from anything by dropping in for a little visit, am I?

[knowlogram]

Technically not sure I'm a man per se? But thanks! Acknowledgment is always appreciated.

[Hubert sits up a little straighter, attentive.]

And you? Never. ...I mean technically you could, but I'm kind of everywhere here so it'd be real hard.

[nullary]

[ Oh, right, he's some kind of super advanced technological...

Well, it's kind of over his head, really. ]

It's my pleasure.

[ ...And, well, he supposed THAT was also good to know as well because he sure didn't know the guy was everywhere. ]

Kind of everywhere? Do you mean to say you're somehow simultaneously in all of the rooms all at once? Or have a way of making yourself be so.

[knowlogram]

Essentially, yes! This-

[He gestures at himself.]

Is just an interface so you guys actually have something to talk to instead of just shouting into thin air when you need me.

[nullary]

An interface? So, a medium as a way of communication, I take it.

[ Not unlike how a medium would use themselves a gateway of communication between someone and their supposed dead contact.

...Granted, Niles wasn't the type of person to see mediums but it's the best frame of reference he had. ]

But all that aside. I see that you've been an avid reader. Was that something you picked up on your own or were you curious about how to help our captors the best you could?

[knowlogram]

I mean, I'm definitely programmed to learn and help as best I can. But most of the stuff in the libarby isn't that relevant to running the experiment, if that's what you mean.

[nullary]

Most? So what is?

Is it those Nancy Drew books, and the Public School Survival Guide? Or is there something else that's relevant in there that I wasn't aware of?

[knowlogram]

There's probably some murder mysteries or dramas in there that would be relevant! Personal conflict, that kind of thing. My programmed learning is more about relating to you all.

[nullary]

...Oh really?

Considering your position, I wonder if you'll really end up relating to us all that much.
