"I've got dibs."

"Does that mean they don't get to talk to me or just that they don't until you're done?"

"The second one.  But transferring is inconvenient and I'm one of the least controversial options; other people are more likely to get blocked."

"Lot of infighting, I see."

"Yes, that's why they have to do so many prophecies and omens instead of just speaking frankly like you and I are doing.  So please do be particularly careful about showing any favoritism between Clans, otherwise I'll have to stop."

"I will make sure I get computers to the remaining two Clans, is there anything else in that department I'm forgetting?"

"I don't think so."

"Do you want me to tell the humanstars anything, since you can't talk to them yet?"

"I bet there are an awful lot of kittypets who want to talk to their dead humans but I don't have any specific messages."

"Aww. - can you tell me if there are person-cats outside of the Chelford and Londinium regions, I don't know how far the lines have had a chance to spread."

"There's Skimbleshanks - the Railway Cat - and some kittypets whose humans moved.  No one has made it off the island yet."

"Okay. They have the Internet here so I can maybe publicize a 'is your cat a person' quiz or something once machine translation's ready and that won't dump a ton of work on you?"

"I appreciate that."

"What else should we cover during this nap as opposed to some future nap?"

"First off this is time-dilated, so if there's anything you want to do that would benefit from that you can.  Except probably not reading or forensics; I wouldn't trust dream conjurations to match real life."

"...huh. Less handy than time dilation where I can read, but my main project now is getting oriented to the universe, and I guess you can tell me things about the universe, especially if you have noticed any linguistic gaps or whatever that imply things about mine by comparison."

"Hmmmm there's nothing outside the shell of this universe.  - Less than nothing, it's not even void; there's just no space there."

"Real ripoff of a universe. Anybody know where it came from?"

"Not me, at least."

"Do you know a date for when cats were first enpersoned?"

"It's hard to say because I only got numbers yesterday and I wasn't attaching them to time as it went by.  But maybe - a small handful-slash-pawful of decades for the Clan cats and their associated kittypets, a bit less than that for the Jellicles.  That's the name for the Londinium ones; they're actually two separate strains of uplift-catnip."

"Are the effects different in any way between the Clans et al and the Jellicles?"

"The Jellicles are not asexual."

"...the Clan cats do not seem obviously asexual but I suppose I wasn't asking..."

"They are!  It doesn't stop them from making truly idiotic decisions about who to have kittens with but they are."
