Plan 9..we keep missing each other. :)

That would be Quark? I also dislike the manner in which he importunes me.
He said, "Thank you for the get well card and beautiful flowers. :D
Greetings, Lbiagm.
You are well, I trust?

Lb seems to be missing. I'm sure it has something to do with Brimshack and the altered timeline.
Just what evil has the Green (yet adorable) guy been up to?

Oh wow, I am very impressed with your sweater knitting skills. Would it be too much of me to ask if you might take me on as your aprentice?

But of course!
Your first job as my apprentice is to locate Brimshack, restore the timeline and bring me a chocolate doughnut.

Oh you mean apprentice sweater knitter. In that case, please bring me two Klingon Goats of Death (male and female for obvious reasons). I'd like to start a new side business.

Thank you. :)

K'Ehleyr, I gave some of the gold-pressed latinum I won from Quark playing Dabo to this man to obtain goats for you. Sadly, although he is making a brave attempt, I don't believe he will succeed utilizing this method.

Seven, who understands nothing of what's just been told her, accesses her primary cortical node for references to "secret charms", and then runs through her social lessons, for good measure before, carefully answering,

Secret charm, Big Toe?

She now accesses her primary cortical node for other, more esoteric meanings for the term "big toe", but finds none. She suspects that yet another attempt at small talk with a fellow human is about to end in dismal failure and sighs inwardly at the prospect.

Ah, yes. "Secret Charms" are something I learned about in my character building lessons- which I just finished putting my dear snail Borris through. They are generally shiny objects which have hypnotic effects upon your target, thus making aquisitions run smoothly.

BigToe is the code name I was given during some of my other training as well.

Seven of Nine now suspects that Big Toe is joking, but her expression has remained as deadpan as Seven's own, so how is she to know, given that the humans of this century are nearly inscrutable to her?
Neither the fact that Borris appeared to be in danger of starvation earlier nor that she has had a bad experience with hypnotism reassure her. She also wonders if Big Toe is unaware that vending machines open from the front.
In addition, the Borg have administered enough "character building" lessons to last Seven more than one lifetime.

BigToe is the code name I was given during some of my other training as well.

Fascinated in spite of herself, instead of hailing her new employee, Kevin, and instructing him to cut through the machine door lock, and belatedly thankful for the James Bond film Lt. Paris once made her watch, she inquires,

Character building lessons, Big Toe? Code name? Please elucidate.

Seven of Nine looks around the empty room. Her latest attempt at small talk has obviously been her greatest failure ever. She rises, makes her way to K'Ehleyr's empty vessel, abstracts the chronoton device from it, leaving in its place a padd on which she has noted her farewell and her promise to set the device to return when she is done with it.
Then Seven picks up Three of Eight, carefully avoiding being punctured by his his tiny injection tubules, enters the Delta Flyer, installs the chronoton device, and prepares to depart this century for her own.
The Twenty-First century is a cold, unfriendly, chaotic period, and she is now willing to risk arrest and imprisonment in her own time for the illegal use of the chronoton device than remain in it. As she activates the time machine, she wonders if Brim isn't better off where he is; perhaps safer and happier among the Neanderthal people.
As the Delta Flyer dematerializes, the cronoton device reappears, and several miles away, poor Kevin, who Seven has entirely forgotten, is still trying to futilely attempting to remove his purchase from the Vend-A-Goat Machine.

Although your statement regarding a supposed gap in her programming is easily refutable, if Seven of Nine were here, her response would probably be,
"I'm familiar with human banter; yours is crude and unappealing." (from "Equinox 1")

If your presumtive effort was to rebuff me with Seven of Nine's witty repartee, quoting Star Trek makes one an undeniable Nerd Girl, which only focuses my attention. :kiss: :hug:

If I'd been interested in rebuffing you, I would simply not have replied. If I'd felt like showing you just what a "Nerd Girl" I am, I'd have explained in great detail why Seven of Nine would have no reason to have your bit of info stored in her primary cortical node.
