It's the only way to be sure [Open]

So many people had recommended the Media Library to Soren that it ended up being one of the first locations on-ship that he paid a visit to. As promised, there was plenty of information to be found in convenient, electronic format.

Convenient for everyone who wasn't essentially from a medieval time period and thus had no framework for understanding computers, let along databases.

Losing patience, Soren began mashing the controls on some kind of instrument panel, and was rewarded with a moving picture featuring humans being menaced by floating tin plates, a woman singing about less-than-optimal romantic encounters, and some sort of storybook featuring a blue-skinned 'space explorer' and his evil nemesis (both with rather improbable hair).

"Infernal machine," he hissed, hitting the table with one small, bony magefist. "I'll show you a bad romance."

As far as he was concerned, the future should be destroyed. With fire.

"A priest? It's an official follower of a religion, generally male. They have some authority over other believers and their duties generally involve offering guidance to those who require it."

"Oh. Religion. Guess I kinda know what that is then. Ain't got any gods on my world, but my mom wasn't from my world, an' she worships some goddess."

Not that her mother would be pleased to hear Ellyn be so casual about that sort of thing, but...

"I heard the really religious can get a little goofy. Y'ain't like that, are ya?"

"No, I'm not particularly religious. There are more important things to worry about than laws of charity and compassion from above. Besides, gods and goddesses are never quite what you expect them to be."
