"- not per se and not selfishly? I am - worried that I'm not doing right by you given the circumstances in which you're embedded."

"That... seems... plausible."

"But I'm not really sure how to improve on my present approach, I don't have a lot of degrees of freedom till I can get home."

"I'm not sure what exactly it is you'd want to improve on?"

"I suppose the obv-I apologize."

"...the...?"

"-the obvious way to um."

"Do right."

"Ah. Maybe an - inapt choice of words."

"Did you stand it back up again?"

"Of course."

"I also returned a second time after I found sketches indicating I'd misjudged the orientation."

"Are all the Stonehenge rocks in their original positions now?"

"I believe so."

"Why were they moved in the first place?"
