[Ah ha, so this is the guy. He knew those Kannagaran natives were trying to recreate something they'd seen an "Offworlder" do before, but Yukimi hadn't quite pinned down who.]
Hey man, that's not what I wrote. I just said that nothing came of it. Not tryin' to belittle the effort. [Except for the lightning dance..] If you're still going at it, more power to you. This place could use some modern amenities. Let me know if you get any joy.
Guh. I just want my laptop. Do you know how hard it is to format this newspaper on this little thing?? [He sighs dramatically.] I wouldn't say no to an XBox either.
And you know they did, aren't they quaint, these native folk? You gotta be careful showing them modern techniques. Wise thing, that Prime Directive.
Wow, I think I'd throw it off a cliff if I had to make anything look nice on it.

Aha, I caught you. Another geek. You can't blame me for the lightning thing, though. I think it's roughly contemporary. No more than a century off, anyway.
[He doesn't deny the geek remark. Living in a dump like this would make anyone long for the old sci-fi collection back home.] No more than a century off, really? Heh. Guess when you're living in the thick of it, it feels so much more...backward.
[He will have a game system, oh yes.]

And I've been here a while. Long enough to have a decent idea what level of tech--or not--we're talking about.
