[ Well, that's something Sam can appreciate her at least. The fact that the ship they've all been living on is member of the Nest like them - except really, really not like them - is... well, it's just another what the hell in a long line of what the hell, really.
He doesn't bother to try to hide the fact that he's thinking about trying to communicate with it. It's probably obvious, giving his line of question, and he doesn't really see the point. ]
( The bridge is usually the easiest. There are other places, but we suspect that's the one you can locate easily. We doubt you'll be able to speak to it there though - not on your own. Your connection is very thin. )
[It isn't meant as discouragement. There's no textural judgement in the string of thoughts, underlined by lacing fingers together and the easy rhythmic breathing of beings in combination.]
( Maybe with your brood or with the help of other Hosts. )
[ Honestly, he doesn't think the fact that his connection to it is thin is a bad thing - except that it makes trying to talk to it more difficult, of course. But it means he's so far been reasonably successful at keeping himself distant, except for the connections he's chosen to widen.
He tries not to think about just how wide some of those are. ]
(I'm gonna guess it'll probably help more if it's people I've got a decent connection with. What about the places I can't locate easily?)
[ He'll try the bridge, of course, but that doesn't mean he won't try to look for those, too. ]
[Naturally he's correct - it's a safe enough assumption that she doesn't even bother with an answer beyond a general sensation of approval sliding along the link stretched thin between them. As for the rest?]
( It depends on the individual. There comes a certain point where the Station will begin to recognize a Host and accommodate them somehow. Sometimes those places can be used to... commune with it. ) [That's probably a more accurate phrasing for the experience.]
( But those spaces won't be accessible to you if it isn't aware of you. If you care to strengthen your bond with it, spend some time hooked into your compartment on the Nesting Deck. )
[ There's the briefest flash of distaste at that last suggestion. He doesn't like the idea of hooking himself into anything, let alone the pod on the Nesting Deck. He doesn't want to try to communicate with the Station that bad, not yet.
That's gonna be the problem, now - figuring out how communicate with it without getting himself in deeper than he wants to be. ]
(I appreciate you putting up with my questions. Was there anything else you were looking for?)

[No frills, no hesitation. It's simply a fact of nature.]
( It requires a strong connection and the string between us and it isn't like what exists between the two of us. The communication is more... )
[Instinctual. A sensation in the skin. A certainty in the air. It's a texture under the fingertips.]
( Of course there are places in the Station where it's easier to communicate with it. )
