[Kaylee can be found in the stables today, humming to herself as she she works. The sound is soft and cheerful, filtering distantly through the open journal on the workbench. After a few minutes, the humming stops long enough for a question]

That's lookin' pretty level. It balanced from your side?

No. [the electronic answer is short]

Still? It's gotta

...What on Earth are you talkin' too?

[onemanshort]

[oh hey! She knows that voice and she's been wanting to talk to him for a few days. It takes her a second, but she disentangles herself from her work to come over to the journal]

It's a computer program. Handy little fella, too, even if he is a mite simple. I ain't showed you, yet?

[though she supposed she hadn't had it, the last time John had come by while she was working on the Mule]

[mademyownpath]

I don't think so.

...It's talkin'.

[Yeah. This might take a while to explain, better pull up a chair]

[onemanshort]

That's 'cause it's what it was made to do. It ain't too different from the journal speakin', 'cept this is all machine stuff instead of magic.

... New robot? [Wacky guess.]

dictated forever;

[onemanshort]

Oh! Spike.

[at the voice, she comes closer to the journal, her answer cheery]

It's a computer program. Though it ain't exactly new. I got 'im when Clu went and wished himself a whole bunch of 'em, accidental-like.

[gottaknockhard]

[A computer program...]

What's it for?

[onemanshort]

Just bein' helpful, I think.

Yes

[laughing] It can't do a whole lot. Just float about and say yes 'n no, mostly. But it's useful.

tell me if you mind the text/want translations?

[p2iioniic]

oh.
you have one of tho2e two.

not at all! It's one of the easier ones. :D

[onemanshort]

[p2iioniic]

[onemanshort]

They are! A bit on the simple side, but there ain't nothin' wrong with that.

[thedicearecast]

Kaylee?

[onemanshort]

Amelia!

I ain't heard from you in awhile. How're you doin'?

[thedicearecast]

Okay, I guess. What about you?

[onemanshort]

Doin' alright. I've been lookin' or a new place to set up shop, but it's still nice enough that the stables ain't a bad place t'work.

[walkinthruwalls]

Uhm, Kaylee, who are you talking to?

[onemanshort]

Diǎndiǎn...it's a computer program. I was seein' if it could help me out a bit.

[walkinthruwalls]

What were you looking to do?

[onemanshort]

Just fine tunin' some things on the Mule. She was listin' a bit, so I've been workin' on leveling the anti-grav thrusters. It's easier to adjust the actual levels, rather'n trying to set 'em at different outputs.
