So, who knows anything about AI and/or fixing some seriously delicate hardware? Both, even. Got a buddy of mine who fries like an egg in sunlight here and I'm hoping to get him up and running like the good ol' days. My nest egg seems to have disappeared from the last time I was here, but... I'll do whatever I can to pay you back for your time. Errands and stuff.

Seriously, I would really just appreciate getting ALFRED back. It's weird not having him around. You know?

Who the heck's Alfred?

You've seen her cool glasses? That's him!

Oho man, too bad Aviva isn't here. She's amazing with technology.

[But she's not here and neither is Koki, so that's kind of not a help at all.]

You know, my brother is pretty good with hardware too, especially delicate, detail-oriented stuff. Maybe he could take a look at it?

[He hasn't seen any other tech work here though besides what seemed to be originally from the city, but that's no reason not to try.]

[interspace]

Well then, you've got me wishing she were here. I mean, if Hank doesn't beat her to it.

Hey, the more the merrier. If he's up for it, he can definitely take a look at the workings... long as he doesn't break anything up, either.

[the_lion_roller]

Hah, nah, no worries there. Chris is real careful with technology.

[...Maybe it's a good thing Aviva isn't around to over-hear that.]

I'll let him know. We've been trying to get some devices we had on us from home up and running again but no luck. Who knows? Maybe we can get both up and running?

[He's pretty optimistic about this.]

[interspace]

If you say so. I'll still be supervising just in case.

You think so? What kind of devices?

[the_lion_roller]

Sounds great!

[This is excellent. With all of them working together, the problem of technology from home not working might finally be solved.]

Oho, well, two of them are our creature pods. They're a little bit like the D-Terminals here, only with a lot more features. My brother and I'd use 'em to communicate with each other and our crew during our creature adventures, but they can also project videos and create holograms.

[ Don't get your hopes up too high, Martin. Misha is smart, but she isn't smart enough to actually help get sophisticated technology up and running again after a mysterious, world-induced meltdown. ]

Creature adventures?

[the_lion_roller]

Yeah-heh, that's what we call the excursions me and my brother take into the various habitats creatures live in so that we can learn as much as we can about 'em. Tropical rainforests, the African Savannah, the bottom of the ocean...h'we've traveled all over the world!

[They have the best job.]

[interspace]

It's very descriptive, in that case. Some kind of zoologists?

[the_lion_roller]

H'one of us, yeah. I'm a zoologist. My brother, Chris, is a biologist.

[Who decided to take a really unique direction with their degrees.]
