At first the Danelope's thoughts grasped at the hope of another following his work. He then remembered most of his colleagues thought he was a crack pot and didn't take string theory let alone trans-dimensional string travel seriously. Until recently Edward Witten and his colleagues experienced the same reception of what is now call M Theory. There is still no proof other than the Danelope that String Theory is correct.
The second issue was Brono was no longer a suitable receiver let alone a transmitter. He didn't want to go back to the gossamer dream world he was in while on enough medication to kill a horse. Even to help Dan. At this point it might not help because most aspects of Brono's life has changed. The combination might not be right any longer due to the changes in Brono's own String vibrations.
Third but not least in this little list is a simple fact. The technology to re-create sending a spirit signal on a graviton string transmission to another dimensional membrane may never be developed here and if it was we are centuries away from it. Dan and his host would be dead and gone before this ever came to pass.
Brono did learn Russian and discovered that his Danelope had some issues with his situation. Dan hated toilet paper and admittedly demanded that Brono become a right hand wiper. Other issues weren't as sever but Brono did his best to avoid using the possessed hand for many mundane acts such as picking up hot coffee cups, masturbation, and shaking hands.
While the Danelope and Brono are living as happy as a boy and his hand possibly can, Dan secretly dreams of another string theorist, from any dimension, coming up with a similar spirit transmission device and restoring Dan to his own dimension. Dan will have his antenna on the lookout and you should too. If you ever wake up and find your hand staring at you I might suggest saying “Рад познакомиться с вами. Меня зовут (insert your name here with Russian accent).”
