Parker let his hand fall to his side, but thor's hologram stayed in place. Thor began to explain as they made their way to the bar, "No, Slipspace is completely different. Z-Space is actually a tangible place that exists alongside real space. Slipspace isn't really any kind of space at all. What happens is particle accelerators rip apart normal space-time by generating micro black holes. Those black holes then evaporate due to Hawking radiation."
As they enter the bar, Parker says, "Let's grab a table near the door." He grabs hold of a chair and spins it so only half of his legs are under the table. He sits down and surveys the room instinctually while watching Salem get his drink.
He hears a strange sound behind him and turns to look. He sees the glass that littered the floor begin to melt and crawl toward the window. It traveled upward and reformed the windows as though they had never broken. Parker shakes his head in wonderment and quickly remembers the hole in the roof he had created when he fell from Khazrak's hound's death. The roof was completely intact as though nothing had happened to it. Parker felt a dark turn in his stomach and muttered, "This place..."
When he settled again, he saw Silver in the distance next to her family. He gave her a single wave of acknowledgment. He didn't want to ask her to leave her family, and he didn't want to abandon his new "friend".
((Al, you can control the bartender, just keep in mind that he's a rather surly character and never talks.))

The Director shook his head disappointed. This human was so frustrating. He rubbed his forhead a moment trying to think of a way to better reach this limited child. He says, "Okay, so how do expect to do that exactly? You can't carry on your father's work if you're sittin' here on your arse in a pub. Besides, by what I've heard, half of your species has already been changed for good. Which do you think would be more effective; going to a planet that's only a fraction as strong and even more weak in morale, or going back when they're already strong and boosting that strength? You're a defeated, depressed, weak human. What good can you do by returning to a planet filled with defeated, depressed, weak parasites? Unless you've got a ****e load of strong hosts to bring back with yourself, the only thing you're going to do is add one weak body to their ranks of the defeated. But if you go back when they were still strong and a threat. If you go back when they had hope. if you go back when they had that might your father spoke of. Well then you'd have a chance. Then you could do some real good."
