Oi! Is anyone out there?!

[Dear passengers of the Crucible, your spheres are suddenly showing a very angry, very ginger woman sitting glaring at her sphere with her arms crossed on her bed in the Kepler Cabins, how do you react? ... On second thoughts, don't answer that question, because you won't get a chance to react for a while yet.]Is there

Spaceman?

[hisoldgirl]

That is correct.

[shoutsforearth]

Okay, so... how many people are here on this thing anyway? I mean, it can't just be me, you and the Spaceman, can it?

[hisoldgirl]

There are approximately sixty passengers currently on the ship. They appear and disappear at random, with no discernible transportation to and from the ship. I have attempted finding the source, but the ship will not speak with me and its communication system is designed in a way I do not fully understand.

[shoutsforearth]

That's a bit weird...

[hisoldgirl]

It is certainly aggravating.

[shoutsforearth]

But if this is a luxury cruise ship then there's got to be a captain that we can talk to, right? I mean you can't have a ship with passengers without a captain, so he can't just not know about any of this.

[hisoldgirl]

[oooh, the captain. the TARDIS visibly grows angry at the mention of him] Ganymede has proven himself to be a particularly inefficient captain over the last several months. He is useless and deserves to be punished for what he has done to myself and the Doctor.

[shoutsforearth]

Great, so the captain's a nutjob as well. Should have known it wasn't going to be that easy.

[hisoldgirl]

Nutjob?

[shoutsforearth]

Crazy!

[hisoldgirl]

Why did you not say that?

[shoutsforearth]

Well, they mean the same thing!

[hisoldgirl]

I do not have 'nutjob' in my database. I will amend it accordingly.

[shoutsforearth]

But I thought that you could translate anything that anyone said in any language in the universe?

[hisoldgirl]

I can. I do not know what they all mean.

It is similar to understanding the phoenetics of an alphabet with which you are unfamiliar but not the context of the word being uttered.
