As reluctant as I am to bow to the whims of a mechanical dictatorship, I do enjoy helping others. [Beat.] Unfortunately, my capabilities have a considerably more intellectual bent than putting on a cape and beating up common criminals. I am a scientist, well-versed in genetics, biology, computers, and a number of other fields I'm sure would prove

Exposed to something extraordinary. At some point. That's a little vague, don't you think?

voice;

[floodprophet]

Vague, yes. But given the number and breadth of individuals who've been brought to this world, I'd hardly assume we could get much more specific. Do you disagree?

voice;

[russianreverse]

I think the experience of being brought here itself would qualify. I think many extraordinary people aren't here. I have my doubts about the word chosen.

[floodprophet]

Do you? Would you mind going into them? [Beat.] Just for the record. I'm very curious.

[easytochop]

A scientist vice-president? That's not something you see every day.

voice;

[floodprophet]

I'm a man of many talents.

[easytochop]

Obviously. How does a man go from examining corpses to governing... a colony, was it? I'll admit I'm curious, but perhaps you'd like to keep the mystery.

[floodprophet]

The corpse thing is new. [Awkward... pause.] Tissue analysis, highly essential, highly important work. In any case, as it works in this country, I understand, there was an election. The people thought they could benefit from someone with the rationality of a scientist. I provided.

[secondhandwebs]

Anyone, anyone? Even people who can't pay for them?

[floodprophet]

[Beat.]

As much as I am for altruism, I do need to feed myself.

[secondhandwebs]

[Laughs]

That's what I figured. You only accept straight up cash?

[floodprophet]

I'd prefer it. What are the alternatives?

[Together:] Intellectual capabilities can often be the best kind.

[floodprophet]

You again.

[meowminx]

Meeting, huh?

[private]

[floodprophet]

To discuss the gods. [Beat.] There's something dreadfully impersonal about chatting over the communicator, wouldn't you say?

[private]

[meowminx]

I suppose so.

[ She sounds amused. ]

Anything particular in mind?

[private]

[floodprophet]

You're certainly more familiar with the area than I am. What would you recommend?
