"We follow New Zealand time but some people are on a 'night shift'. I'm going to go to bed before usual, because I got woken up in the middle of the 'night' for this. Your prayers happened around 'late morning' according to this, which wouldn't be a crazy time for you to wake up, but you'd miss the galley breakfast."

"Late morning is all right. How much longer should I expect to be awake if I try to go to bed with everyone else?"

"Around 11 hours. If you continue not wanting to try our chemicals, that's fine, but the drink I got a cup of does help with staying awake if you'd like that."

"I should be able to stay awake another eleven hours without it."

"Great. I guess it makes sense to be careful, you're from another planet, for all we know you're allergic to some staple of ours."

He makes another face. "…you said no to a bunch of symptoms, you're not sick right now, right?"

"I am not sick right now."

"That's very good. Does Golarion do the thing Earth does, where we expose people to a very weakened or dead disease, so that their body learns how to fight the real thing?"

"...no."

"It's useful, everyone else here has done it. You might want to be ready to cure yourself of some disease the rest of us are resistant to on short notice. We don't invite people without the exposure here so we don't actually have the samples to expose you even if you did consent."

"I did not prepare Remove Disease this time but can tomorrow. But more powerful people get sick less often. I haven't caught a mundane disease in years."

"That's not how things work here. Being young and fit and getting a healthy diet all help but they only do so much for us. I do hope you keep up your record, though."

"There's a spell that I can cast at will which will help, but again I don't have it today."

"Maybe prepare it tomorrow."

"I will. Do you have other guesses about what I should prepare tomorrow?"

"I don't know what you can do. At least two of the language-sharing spell, for whoever's on shift watching you. If the scientists approve you should do another round of Create Food, and everything you're not going to eat should probably be fresh fruit or such. Maybe smaller fruits so everyone can get a whole one, if that's possible, we have 48 people. … oh, and you were going to make more water anyway, presumably, since you don't trust ours, but I'm reminded that if you want to bathe with as much water as you can conjure we can get you a tub. You'll probably want a Comprehend Languages so you can read the program handbook. You're probably not going to need to walk on water, please don't turn water into wine, if anyone gets injured they'll likely still be alive the day after so I don't know that preparing healing in advance makes sense but it might. Some people might like Endure Elements but we have clothing that is made with the assumption Endure Elements doesn't exist. You might like multiple Comprehend Languages? I'm sure someone brought a copy of the Bible and you might want a look at that, though it's a long book."

"Walking on water would displace the Create Food. I can refrain from preparing Tears To Wine but am curious why... I'm actually not accustomed to baths, personal hygeine is usually handled magically where I'm most recently coming from, but I can accustom myself to it. I have nothing in particular against your water now that we can talk about it but it was an awkward presentation with the pill that you weren't able to explain. I have a Comprehend Languages today if there is a copy of the handbook fro me to read. I don't have to prepare healing in advance. What is the Bible?"

"If we tried to ban alcohol entirely, people would just brew their own in secret and make themselves sick, but we can at least make people buy it with their own money and not just provide free drinks."

"…and there's lots of laws about selling food and drink which you're not equipped to follow."

"Tears to Wine doesn't make normal wine, it makes magical wine which in the important ways makes people the opposite of drunk."

"…impressive. The scientists will want to look at that before anyone drinks it, though. Anyway. If you have a spell that replaces bathing you can likely use that. We have soap and you can use our showers, but we don't allow much water for them so it's probably a bad time to learn to wash that way. We can get you a copy of the handbook today. The Bible is the word of God. …uh, the holy book for the most common religion both in the world and here. It doesn't mention an Iomedae, I don't know how she fits into everything."

"I do technically know the cleaning spell but I am very bad at it - it's a wizard spell, not a cleric spell, and I only ever got it to do the thing where I can make chess pieces. A tub will be fine. Iomedae's holy book is called the Acts of Iomedae and I have two copies with me; if there are particular Bible passages you want to point me to as edifying about how people in this area expect others to behave and aspire to conduct themselves it may be worth some Comprehend Languages usages but I don't know that I'll want to read the whole thing. Possibly unless this god also went by the name Aroden?"

"He did not, he went by Jesus Christ. Maybe also Jehovah? I never spent that much time in church. Anyway, one of the pieces that lots of people are familiar with are the Ten Commandments - don't kill, don't steal, don't lie, don't take the Lord's name in vain, honor your parents, don't commit adultery, don't get jealous about other people's stuff, observe the Sabbath – we do try to give a bunch of people time off on that day … ugh, that's only 8."

Not-book poke.

"People don't even agree on how to divide the list? Anyway, we're also supposed to not worship other gods but yours might end up looking awfully tempting. And I forgot the one to not make 'graven images' because everyone ignores it and draws things anyway. Or at least everyone here. Maybe we should see if you can borrow a machine like this and look at our copy of the, uh, big encyclopedia thing I'm looking at, but it might be a lot."

"I would not know how to operate the machine. Are these commandment reflected in the regulations of the station? - I don't expect Iomedae in particular to hand out more clerichoods, She's having an expensive year."

"We have laws against murder and theft but they have those over at Great Wall Station too – uh, it's named after a different wall, the wall isn't on the continent – and China's not very Christian. Otherwise no."

Blai nods.

"If I'm going to be assigned quarters perhaps I could put my armor in them now? It's pretty heavy for just sitting around when nothing's likely to attack."

"Sounds good. Ideally also the mace and your knife, we have smaller knives here for eating food with and you can use one of those."

Not-book poke. "I can show you to a spare room. You are ideally expected to leave it in the condition you found it in. You will be able to lock it, but I and some others will still have keys to all the rooms."
