It may simply be an impression with no basis in reality, but it seems to me that since the Natha have left, more people have returned to stasis.

So they would be.

[ is that better or worse than everyone you know dying or retiring (and then dying)? nightingale isn't quite sure. he hopes he won't find out, but who's to say? ]

Thomas Nightingale, at your service.

It's nice to meet you. If you're ever looking for someone to have philosophical, historical, or maybe even a little theological conversation with, I'm more than happy.

[ She's certainly Frank's daughter, through and through, there's no arguing that. ]

I know it sort of veered off from your original statement. I hope you didn't mind.

[ettersberg]

I don't mind at all, although I am not certain how much use I'd be in a philosophical or theological conversation. I've been told I'm rather too pragmatic for those.

[ note how he didn't say anything about historical conversations. ]

[givingback]

I think there's always room for pragmatism. After all, I mentioned that I think there's valid science behind the 'miracles' in the Bible. But I do think it's interesting people but their entire selves into believing something exactly like it's written.

[ She and Frank could spend hours discussing things, especially when he brought new artifacts from the school to show her, or she walked with her father around the Harvard campus. A part of her misses that, a little. ]

[ettersberg]

Science is hardly my area of expertise, but you're likely right.

[givingback]

Well, in whatever capacity, I hope we get to speak again soon. It was nice to meet you.

[ettersberg]

Likewise.
