Oh, excellent. She's retaining nothing of what he's been saying. The Rift's mechanics may not be entirely understood - not by him, not by the TARDIS - but the premise, surely, is a simple enough concept to digest.

"Whatever or wherever Absalom is, my universe clearly doesn't have one," he snaps, opening a hand in a weary gesture of irritation. "Obviously our separate branes have a vast number of differentials. I was taken from a ship several billion light years from Earth. That might give you some context for the level of diversity we're dealing with." The selection of worlds available for sampling also includes, apparently, ones populated by 'tiefling' creatures capable of dimensional manipulation and possibly illusory shape alteration and fuck knows what else.

Rush punctuates his brief, scathing diatribe with a decisive flex of his right hand before he braces it against the floor, deliberately testing its weight. It's unlikely it will support him for long. He tenses and relaxes disgustedly in the space of the same instant, curling his right arm back around himself. Escape from this conversation, however uselessly circuitous it's proving to be, won't be a workable solution for some time. And communicating a poorly understood concept to an even more poorly understood species is not within his purview, and never has this been more painfully transparent.
