I may not be convinced to share your beliefs, but I must confess it is a relief to hear a kind of reasoning that transcends blind faith or mindless greed.

[The argument about the Admiral's alien nature is especially interesting. You are good at thinking of things, Narvin... And now that Loki's thinking about it...]

Does it not drive you mad to have these hypotheses unprovable?

[He's not trolling anymore, in fact, he sounds amused. It's driving him kinda mad.]
