[ What up, Tranquility. There's a man on your video feed looking pretty damn tired, despite appearing (and acting) otherwise cheerful. Ohhhhh boy, it's been awhile since he's done his Temple TV stuff, but this is. Basically the same. Right? Okay. Just do it.Hi. Connor Temple here. So, starting off, aside from the whole spaceship thing, I wanted to

Connor. Capa.

Question: any experience with comm systems?

( text | PRIVATE | and he'll bump up that encryption for you by about 100% )

[anomalyse]

hey capa
in general? yeah, quite a bit actually. why?

( text | PRIVATE | that's my boy | ENCRYPTION 100% )

[flares]

My crewmates and I each found a comm device in our lockers. They're native to the Icarus II's internal comms system, so they don't function properly without her. Communications isn't a strong point of mine, so.

I was wondering if there was a way to link them up again. Create a subnetwork independent of the Tranquility systems.

Overgrown walkie-talkies, essentially. Since I'm guessing there's no way to reintroduce Icarus' AI component without a free-standing mainframe.

movie night sounds like a good idea
i think i saw popcorn in one of the kitchens, but don't quote me
it may have been dehydrated, so we'll see how/if it reconstitutes.

are we sure they're going to have movies we'll recognize though?
if this is another universe and all.

[text] it is a not-sucky plan!

[anomalyse]

nope, no idea.
which is why i'm kind of hoping for that top 10 list...
so we don't have to use trial and error.

[text] he's just so used to awful plans, okay?

[asclepion]

well, trial and error might be fun too?
future space movies and all that

less comforting, though, i guess
which was sort of the original purpose?
still, it might work if you make a sort of blanket couch fort thing and drag everyone into the same room.

[text] DON'T WORRY connor's plans are only awful SOMETIMES

[anomalyse]

hey if you're willing to sit through what might be a billion space chick flick films then by all means, let's do this.
and blanket forts? definitely something i can get behind. i like the way you think.

[annnnd have a near-immediate response.

don't worry, resnik's listening too.]

What did you have in mind?

[video | private | encrypted 100%]

[anomalyse]

Well, first off... [ He pauses. It's not that he doesn't trust you, Ward. It's just that he doesn't trust you enough. Still, he said he's do this for Capa, so HERE IS AN ADDITION: ]

Does USB data cable ring a bell? Or just USB, actually. Universal Serial Bus?

-Hang on. [ SHUFFLING THROUGH PAPER OFF TO THE SIDE ] If it's possible, I'll need some metal, too. Aluminum, chromium, iron, palladium, platinum... um, a welding machine, an electrode holder with a lead-a lot of leads-a ground clamp and electrodes. Probably a chipping hammer. And a wire brush. Is any of this on board?

[video | private | encrypted 100% | 1/2 | this is a lot of things in this subject header]

[tranquiliorem]

[aaaaaand hold the phone for just a minute, connor. ward and resnik are going to have A Discussion about what you are asking here.

(this discussion essentially amounts to a fractional eyebrow raise and a shrug from ward and resnik respectively, but it counts.)]

[video | private | encrypted 100%]

[tranquiliorem]

[congratulations, you passed.

the video's back on now.]

USB doesn't ring any bells, no.

[he is from an alternate future and what is this.]

Aluminum and iron shouldn't be a problem. The others... maybe, but I wouldn't count on it-and you'll have to ask Resnik where the tools are.

What are you trying to make? [THIS IS A TOTALLY INNOCENT QUESTION but no, seriously, you should probably answer it.]

[bearsthevision]

[ A little girl's voice is clearly heard after a sigh. ]

I've been paying very close attention to everyone here. I do not know anyone by the name of Abby, and I don't think they're currently present... I'm sorry.

[ voice ]

[anomalyse]

[ Hold on-a little girl's voice? Something is Not Right with this picture. ]

Thanks. [ SOB ] She's probably back home. Which is probably better than being here, so...

[ ... ]

Sorry, how old are you?

[ voice ]

[bearsthevision]

I believe if she arrives, then I--

[ There's a small pause. She's trying not to laugh at the frequency of the question, but the poor guy's confused ]

How old is this body, or how old am I in actuality? Unfortunately, they're two seperate questions.

[ voice ]

[anomalyse]

[ WHAT IS HAPPENING ]

Let's go with both. Both answers. To both questions.

You want to have a movie night?

[ seriously that isn't the only thing she got from the post. she has to feel him out first before jumping to tech questions okay?! ]

text;

[anomalyse]

yes?

[ FEEL AWAY, ARIADNE ]

[constructum]

[ OH SHE WILL! details, she likes them. (refuses to let this become a dirty comment) ]

Why?

Would they even have anything from back home? Assuming you're from Earth obviously.
