a couple things:
what kinda gig did you run back home? the 9-5, you know. humor me, i got a theory.
also, what's the worst ever happened taking the kitchen up on all that chow? anything?

fine, make that a FEW things, here's the one more:
if anyone got spare chicken, or animal training tips, pipe up. i'll take them all.

[spacerhyme]

All of them.

[ also... true. ]

[slingshots]

sounds busy. got a favorite?

[spacerhyme]

I teach them everything because everything's interesting. And the more you know, the more interesting they become.

But my favorites are space, and time.

[slingshots]

just sounds like you got a lot of time in a day, is all.
never had a class on space OR time. what's the final look like?

[spacerhyme]

I drop them into a randomly selected point in space and time and see how they fare.

[ no, ok, he doesn't.

i mean, maybe once or twice, but. ]

[slingshots]

tough final. what kind of planet you on for that?

[spacerhyme]

Earth. 2017. You might not have heard of it, it's not very well-connected yet, relatively primitive in that timezone.

Fortunately, I've got a spaceship.

[slingshots]

you have a spaceship in 2017.

[spacerhyme]

I have a spaceship in every year.

It's also a timeship.

[slingshots]

that makes more sense.
are you human?

[spacerhyme]

No.

Are you?

[slingshots]

yeah. so. just so happens i heard of earth.
what are you?

[spacerhyme]

A lecturer from outer space.

How's your theory holding up?

[slingshots]

not 100%, but you're adding some weight. thanks.

[spacerhyme]

I expect to see the final report, of course.

[slingshots]

when's the due date? and totally unrelated, your extension policy?

[spacerhyme]

Time is an illusion, due dates doubly so.

It's already been written, in the future. Finish it by then. Don't rip any holes in causality.

[slingshots]

seems easy enough. i'm on it.
