You decide to fill your old friends in on everything that's happened to you since you last parted, though it's an awful lot of information to try and recollect all at once. You're pretty sure you've got it mostly right, even with whatever passes for your current brain.

QUEEN MAYA CELIA

Dang, you're getting owned without us around.

SLOBFERN (Translated from Slobese)

Thanks.

CO-QUEEN DOCTOR STAPHANIE CELIA

Celia! Be nice!

It's not her fault if she could have used our assistance to not get catastrophically wrecked.

DOCTOR E.M. BALMER, MORTUARY FRYCOOK

Heheh.


QUEEN MAYA CELIA

Good stuff, though, I mean, weird stuff, alarming stuff, but good to know it. We can run some of this through our think tank, right Staph?

CO-QUEEN DOCTOR STAPHANIE CELIA

Oh yes. Fern, if you wish to continue your operations in your current state, we can easily combine knowledge into a much clearer set of directives for you. You're fortunate to be in a form that can recover quickly from anything short of 100% material loss, but we can't say for certain how physical stress and regeneration in a biologically unstable vessel will toll on your mental faculties and the parameters of your perception sphere. It's entirely your call.

SLOBFERN (Translated from Slobese)

I'm not going to just wait around to be me again...I can use this.

CO-QUEEN DOCTOR STAPHANIE CELIA

Good, good! We'll see if we can hash out some mission objectives with all you've learned and witnessed. No offense, but you'll probably want to stop meandering under the broad compass of buzzer feed and be more strategic in how you utilize their capabilities. That's precisely what has brought us back together, but could have just as easily spelled disaster, and you certaintly can't depend on only a child and a J-wave biovessel for support, however formidable they may be in comparison to a grey. You've built a fine pool of allies, resources and information up to this point; now are good layers to put them to the test.

QUEEN MAYA CELIA

Ooh. I like when you get serious. You're so technical.

DOCTOR E.M. BALMER, MORTUARY FRYCOOK

Ugh. Unplug me already.
