Zekk's gone.

[He absolutely has not cried. Bloodshot eyes? Water-spattered collar from washing his face very recently? Talking in a monotone? There's some perfectly reasonable alternate explanation.]

I thought people should know.

[And feed cuts off.]

Zekk was your friend?

Revan just sends people back sometimes, right? I think Claudia is gone, too.

[sand_wormie]

Yeah... I guess so. I liked him, anyway.

I'd like to ask him why. Um... sorry about your friend. I don't think I know a Claudia.

[catlordbeyond]

Well, he probably got to go home. That's good, right?

Yeah. Claudia wasn't here long, but she was- fun. She was going to let me modify a datapad with her. [And he so likes tech!]

[sand_wormie]

I'll miss him, though.

Yeah... What were you going to do?

[catlordbeyond]

That's understandable. It hurts when you lose someone, whether they die, or just leave. [He remembers losing Father, Emrick, and Jaga within a short amount of time.]

[Talking about tech does make him feel better.] Um, we were going to upgrade it. She said it seemed like outdated tech. I think she might have intended to compete with Stark Universal.

[sand_wormie]

It should. I mean... it'd be sad, if it didn't.

Upgrades? Huh. The Starkpads are made differently... I've got one, I took a look.

[catlordbeyond]

Exactly.

I haven't seen one up close. I guess there's a big difference between upgrading and re-design.

[sand_wormie]

They're not that different, but you can see where they are. Wiring's definitely different.

[catlordbeyond]

So, it takes a different approach with the conducting materials? [He's still no expert, but he knows more about tech than most of his species, and he's learning.]

[sand_wormie]

Sort of. It's easier to explain with diagrams.

[catlordbeyond]

That makes sense. [He draws diagrams and sketches of his projects.]

Can I look at it sometime?

[sand_wormie]

Yeah. Just - not today, okay? In a day or so.

[catlordbeyond]

Yeah. No problem. I'll be around.
