From the looks of it, this would be Earth. It's very quaint, almost charming in a way. My guess would be this is sometime during the 20th or 21st centuries. So very primitive compared to where my people was during the same time period. Why, we were already traveling to neighboring star systems, expanding our empire. And you're still half a century

Wow. What sort of species are you? Is that what a car-sass-ian is? I've never heard of them before. Or those vulkans. Um, actually, I'm not sure if I understand any of that.

[occupier]

I am a Cardassian. My species hails from Cardassia Prime.

PERMAVOICE

[gatewhatgate]

Uh, I dunno what that is, but I guess it's okay. There's like, a ton of races here I never heard of.

So what's your home like, mister?

[occupier]

Cardassia is a planet about the same size as this one. It is warmer, darker, and generally more hospitable to my species than this one is. [It's just too cold on this planet. :|]

[gatewhatgate]

I guess it is kinda cold here right now. Maybe you could move to the Southern Continent? Oh, um, I mean, one of them. I think it's supposed to be warmer down there.

[occupier]

Perhaps I will look into that option, My people are not well equipped to deal with this sort of climate.

[gatewhatgate]

Oh! [ He sounds a little surprised, but pleased. ] It's a good idea?

How helpful d'you think I was, on a scale from one to ten?

[occupier]

[A long pause, before he gives an amused reply:]

Seven.

[gatewhatgate]

Wow, that was really helpful of me! I can be more helpful, mister, I promise.

[occupier]

That's very good to hear. I wish you success in your endeavor.

[gatewhatgate]

Thanks, Mister! I'll try!

[occupier]

Excellent.

I don't believe I caught your name.

[gatewhatgate]

Everybody calls me Monster. It's not really a name, but it works, I guess.

[occupier]

Would you prefer to be called something else, or shall I continue this trend?

[gatewhatgate]

I think Monster's fine. It's the nicest thing I've been called.

[occupier]

I find that astonishing.
