[Nico would prefer to just use the voice option and nothing else but he's not sure if people will recognize him by his voice alone, so he reluctantly uses the video option, looking none too pleased about... well, anything.]

I have a few things to say about recent events.

First, if anyone saw me playing or talking about a game called Mythomagic, it's a kids game and I don't play it anymore. I... used to [Reluctantly confesses] but I haven't for years so don't ask me if I have the cards or if I can teach you how to play because I don't and I can't.

Second, if I had any... personal conversations with you, I would appreciate it very much if you would please keep that information to yourself, thanks.

Third, who was responsible for that whole thing? [Because he would like to punch them in the face.] Having my memories messed with once before was already one time too many and I don't appreciate it happening again.

Last... I know it was completely fake but... I just... wanted to say thank you to the people I thought were my family... for being kind to me. So thank you. [That's just about the only good thing that happened, in his opinion. People were nice to him.

And now he's going to go do some tunnel exploring and let off some steam.]

[He asked for her and anyone else not to publish or share anything about him with anyone else, so Brennan opts for sending him a private video message.]

You were my student. [...and they spoke while she was wearing that costume for the Science Dude's TV show.

Yeeeah let's not talk about that.

She doesn't smile, but she still comes across open and relaxed. It had been fake, but she still remembers what he said to her, and now she understands why she was so excited to hear about his career plans. Now she just needs to know if those are his real plans.]

In my real life, before I was brought here, I am a forensic anthropologist. I teach graduate level courses, so I suppose that is what inspired my false life. But what I mean to ask is if you really have considered a career in forensic anthropology, and if you do know bones as precisely as you did in the false city.

[She has interns who are that intelligent when it comes to bones. Nico reminded her of them, reminded her of how much she misses her real job, her colleagues, her friends. If these are indeed Nico's interests, then he will make someone an excellent intern someday. She would certainly hire him if his application crossed her desk.]

[Well, at least now he knows why he felt like he was way behind the other kids - because he hasn't been to a proper school since he was in fifth grade.]

It's... complicated why I know bones that well. It might sound crazy if I told you the truth.

I guess you could say I already have a career in dealing with bones and dead people... except I don't get paid for it.

[Well that's a vague answer if she ever heard one.]

So you have a volunteer position with... some sort of museum?

No, I'm... In my world, gods are real. If you're familiar at all with Greek mythology... I'm the son of Hades. I can speak with the dead, summon them and control them, and that includes controlling bones.

[........................that can't be right.]

I'm... certain you are being metaphorical.

[Spoilers: she is not certain.]

If we can be pulled across space and also be pulled here at different points in time, to a place where there are gods, including one who can resurrect people from the dead... is it really that hard to believe gods might be real somewhere else, in a different world?

...no. I suppose I'm just still finding imformation that requires a few days to adjust to.

[Myths being real... wouldn't Booth enjoy that.]

In my profession, bones speak to me, but only metaphorically. Your... innate ability to interact with bones is, frankly, fascinating. I would like to see it in use, if possible.

I don't blame you for that. Even I find some things about this place jarring.

Sure, if you can find any bones around here. I haven't sensed any nearby and I know it's not because my senses suddenly stopped working.

I will contact you if I find any bones. I miss them, working with them. It's... strange not to have access to any.

Thanks. I know what you mean.
