[Right. This guy is definitely a nerd and Zack is already half lost in all the analysis that he gives. But he doesn't fade out and stop listening just yet. He leans up against the desk and crosses his arms over his chest.]

Who knows, maybe there's something that only wants us to use a few of the machines and not the others. We've got things popping up from our home worlds who's to say there's not something picking those things out too? Maybe there's an admin somewhere with a hand in all of it.

[It's a bit supernatural to think that there is "something else" doing all of this behind the scenes. But honestly, Zack is so new here he has no other clue to give.]

Besides other people being from other points in time than me, I don't know what else to tell you.
