Klein was also curious whether this could really help Emperor digest his Potion. As for the fact that he was impersonating a deity and might not necessarily meet Hobart's needs, he and Hobart had thought alike: If it doesn't work, that's your problem. What does it have to do with the great Mr. Fool? Hobart asked, "Mr. Fool, what sacrifice do you desire?"
"Everything regarding 0-08," Klein said in a supreme, lofty voice. "Even the parts I already know are fine."
For him, the greatest obstacles to avenging himself and the captain were Ince Zangwill, who might have already advanced to Demigod, and the 0-08 in his possession.

I'll ask you for mysticism knowledge, then offer information regarding 0-08. You may tell us whatever mysticism knowledge
