[001] This is unexpected.

[textExcuse me for what may be an interruption, but I've finally gotten my helpmate to interface with this device, and I was hoping someone could tell me where I am? Did we tunnel? Is that why I'm so disoriented? I'm sorry, I've just never traveled FTL before ( Read more... )

((Uuuuuuh. Wat.))

Excuse me, but what's a "helpmate?"

yousoundblue March 19 2009, 05:53:57 UTC

[A helpmate is a helpmate.]

It's a wearable computer that stores things I need to know or remember and interfaces with the local network environment for me.

Ah, "computer!" Someone explained those to me. Very strange, I still don't REALLY understand how they work, but I do not need to know how fabric is woven to wear it, I suppose.

So, you wear this "computer," and it - has many faces? And does something with nets? I don't think this boat has nets for fish, I'm afraid you might not find any here.

((OOC: This whole conversation would have had to be in text. Lika doesn't speak English yet. Sorry I didn't notice sooner!))

[There's a pause as Lika figures out what the hell Ki is talking about, since the words are different in her native language.]

I think there's been a misunderstanding? The helpmate talks to other computers for me. That's what "interfacing with the local network" means.

Guess Redd's bringing in a new influx. Welcome aboard the tub. If you had any weapons, they're gone now.

Huh, Faster than Light travel? I guess some other people have a good grasp on space travel.

Weapons? Why would I have weapons?

Are you from a spacefaring civilization? I've been having a series of frustrating conversations and I was starting to think I was the only one.

Seem to be a lot of soldiers, vigilantes, or just nutjobs aboard. Me, I'm with a peacekeeping force from the Gurhal System. Don't suppose you ever heard of the Guardians?

I understand your frustration with that. Technology that seems so common in my home is completely unheard of here. Plus trying to adapt anything to work with Photons? Huge pain in the ass.

[text] yousoundblue March 19 2009, 23:02:51 UTC

I'm a facilitator. If I had weapons, the temptation would be to use them.

There's no Gurhal System in human space, sorry.

I'm not sure what you mean by photons in this context, but it did take my helpmate almost three minutes to interface with whatever this thing is. I was worried something was malfunctioning.

I'm sorry, I don't speak English. Could you please use the text function?

[text] loathemirrors March 20 2009, 05:15:31 UTC

It is of no issue.

Do you require anything for the discomfort you are recieving?

[text] yousoundblue March 20 2009, 05:19:31 UTC

It's very kind of you to offer, but you shouldn't go out of your way.
