"'Grand Nagus'? (laughs) This is a tough one. My calling, if you will, has become such an essential part of my identity. But of course you aren't asking me to discard that. What else would I be, additionally? Oh, I mean, I certainly exhibit pretensions of being a public figure, which is, oh my god, so not practical, or even sane, given my still legally-actionable after-dark proclivities. But I do seem to want to tell people what's what on a grand scale, do I not? I wouldn't be one of those celebrity scientists, like Bill Nye, or whatever Neil deGrasse-Tyson has become-- we once had such high hopes for him, did we not? --heaven help me, I think I'd want to get into fashion. Really, Holly? Reeeeally? I would have figured that more for Greta's raison d'être... but that's unfair to Greta. She wasn't chasing wealth or status, so much as chasing banality. I'd fed Greta her fill of the wild life, and ultimately she needed to detox with something refreshingly conventional. And I don't blame her. I... I fucking ruined her life. It's astonishing and admirable that she was able to claw her way back from that. After Holly Wednesday, 'normie' is a large step up.

"But I'm rambling. I don't know? 'Science fashion correspondent?' 'What's hot in superconductors this month?' I don't know. There is the kernel of something there, some life beyond pinning specimens, where I can be awful and catty and unrestrained for a living, but it really requires further review. It's a thought-provoking question, I do want more."
