"What type of turnaround are you expecting with the Map?" The Doctor asked, turning to glance once again at the sphere, then at the flickering panels. "Have you already had previous exposure to this type of technology?"

He would make a guess that he had, but if he hadn't, well. It wasn't like there weren't lifeforms out there who decided to learn things by sticking their hands down dark holes and seeing where that got them. Sometimes it could get results. And Brother Thane here seemed to have handled himself remarkably well for that level of data.
