[The perusal of the brochure warrants a pause at the section about "robots", though he supposes he must be an exception to the rule. He would have to be to be here, he assumes.]

I suppose this is not the first time I have phased from reality... [It's said to himself as he looks over the other brochures, and even balks a bit at Nathan's. They explain everything and yet minimal information simultaneously. He finally abandons the brochures to investigate. He taps his communicator, first.] Data to Enterprise, come in, Enterprise.

[He waits for a moment, listening to the buzz of the communicator with a muted look of confusion.]

Greetings? I am Lt. Commander Data of the USS Enterprise. I am seeking assistance.

[He frequently sounds formal. Voice kind, not entirely flat but close to it. It's just a touch nasal, but not offensively so.] I am afraid that I am lost. [Even with a guide, he supposed that was the best way to describe this manner of situation.] I found a shop aboard Deep Space Four and it led to here, wherever here might be. Could someone please respond if anyone is within audible range. [He pulls out his tricorder to scan.]

I am getting no logical readings with my tricorder, they are in constant fluctuation. [Said to that someone that might-be-listening-but-he-wasn't-sure-was] Air quality is indeterminate. Gravity is indeterminate. Life signs are also indeterminate. Presence of atmosphere at all is indeterminate. And... I do not specifically recognize any of the visible star formations. It would take me approximately five hours to run a full analysis of one small area though to judge whether or not the positioning could be indicative of an earlier or later point in the Milky Way galaxy.

[He closes the tricorder and replaces it in his utility belt, as it seems that it would be useless here.]

I found it all very unlikely at first, but now I am beginning to see the validity in this information. [Even with his experiences, it all seemed a little too unusual.]

How long have you been aware of its existence?

[immarcescible.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm not sure, to be honest! For me, it's only been a few hours, but just based on everyone else and how long we were stuck here, I think it's longer than that, or time doesn't matter or something.

[empirical_data]

A few hours. [More of a statement to himself than a need for verification.] So temporally, time we are perceiving here will pass differently in our own reality?

[immarcescible.livejournal.com]

It could, I think! I always have to reset some of my sensors when I go back home, but that's not that bad.

So sloooow! I'm sorry. I was ambushed by the sudden plot monster.

[empirical_data]

...Your sensors. [His interest immediately perks.]

it's okay! I am super busy myself, haha

[immarcescible.livejournal.com]

{She nods} Yep! My internal clock gets messed up the most, but everything else is fine.

--Oh, right! That's not what you were asking about. I'm an android! You know what that is, right? It's weird that not everyone here knows what that is, but I'm trying to ask now.

[empirical_data]

I'm an android, too. My internal chronometer is registering time regularly for me here, I am detecting no disruption in the time flow. [He seemed happy to meet another android, though, and furthermore an apparently sentient one.]
