1st Theft [Video, Monday morning]

[tailforbrains]

[Most everyone is familiar with the tiefling who pops up on the screen, by now, for her first ever announcement over the network. So, probably, is the wicked little grin on her face. What may be less familiar is the funny, microwave-sized machine she's leaning on.]

So I managed to leave myself a little something from the past, a really awesome and expensive something. Aaaaand I just found it.

[Finally. After hunting everywhere for signs long since overgrown and even buried as the land changed over hundreds of years. Yeesh.]

Who wants to help me figure out how to make it work? Doctor, tech person, doctor-slash-tech-person... I'm open to ideas, here.

Comments

[tailforbrains]

Not delicate enough, since these guys were doing it all the time, way back when.

[Neeshka shrugs.]

So you think you can figure this out, then? Get it working?

[theverymodel]

Should be able to. One of the best.

[No, he's not familiar with modesty]

Many signs of considerable technological regression.

[tailforbrains]

[He's in good company. Neeshka isn't familiar with it, either.]

Techno... what? You mean the tech-stuff got worse, since they made that, or what?

[She's guessing what exactly he's referring to, since he's lacking in pronouns there. The words are only familiar since her arrival on Verdana, too, which doesn't help.]

[theverymodel]

Correct. Evidence of more advanced technology. Usually considerable state of disrepair.

[Something happened. Probably war. It was usually war.]

[tailforbrains]

Ah, well. It was pretty fancy, back where we were for those couple months. This was hardly the only neat toy I found!

[The rest just had been on her person when she was yanked into Nowhere, so she hasn't needed to track them down and get them fixed.]

This shouldn't be too broken. I hope, anyway. It's kind of been buried for a while.

[theverymodel]

Have technical specialists and disposal. Will be able to get functioning.

[Kaidan, you have been voluntold]

[tailforbrains]

Great! Thanks!

[She beams at him.]

About how long d'you think it'll take? Should I come back tomorrow?

[Oh, she's so optimistic! It'll wind up taking the better part of a month, whether or not Mordin can guess as such....]

[theverymodel]

Clever. Not quite that clever. Will need several weeks for testing even if initial theories correct. Most frustrating part.

[tailforbrains]

Oh.

[She droops visibly. Neeshka has always been one to wear her heart on her sleeve. Or her face and ears, in this case in particular.]

Well. I guess I'll have to wait a while, then, huh?
