{VOICE OTA}

[Today you feel a few strange pulses in your signets before you hear anything over Qri's network. It's fairly pleasant, exactly as the signet communications tend to be, and fortunately doesn't at all resemble the strange fluctuations that plagued everyone back on days 103-105. It's more like someone poking at the network to be sure it's stable and not going to do any more of that before they speak. They seem to conclude it's safe after all.]

Hello? Oh, hi-- hi, everybody. It's Geir. If you don't know me, I'm the dragon.

[He's very matter of fact about it. He's the dragon. You're probably aware, his tone seems to say.]

Listen, I don't actually care if you know me, you should just help me and Nines out! He knows all kinds of technology things, so I asked him what we could find out about the Hub with them. But the question is really, what does everyone want to find out? There's been a lot of weird to chew on!

Chew...on? [9S echoes this thought quizzically, for an instant quite distracted. But right, right, the matter at hand—] Er, anyway, like Geir said we’re lacking data on our surroundings. And to know what we’re dealing with, gathering more would be best, so I was thinking I can probably scrape enough parts together to build a pod for that job, once we know what kind of information it should collect. I mean, unless we want everything...

[Geir's tone is still bright and interested. he loves hearing about this, even if part of him is still skeptical.]

Nines isn't even the only person who knows how to build... robots. I know a bunch of you build stuff. Who wants to help?

[9S clears his throat, quietly tacking a little disclaimer on:]

...Not that pods should be mistaken for machines or anything.

[When your kind’s fought machines for millennia certain lines get drawn. Thin, confusing grey lines. (Geir doesn’t know what to say to that, so he just lets it stand.)]

((both 9S and Geir may reply to your toplevels, and also feel free to jump each other! this is the start of a player plot to get a little more technology on the island. ♥ more details here!))

Okay, I'll bite. What sort of info do you need exactly?

[ He's mostly volunteering because he stands to benefit from learning where all the technology is in this place they're trapped in. Also because he has nothing better to do at the moment. ]

[As much as Nike wants to ask about "pods" and chime in one the idea she had over wanting to explore a sort of dense forest to collect spider webs, she'll refrain upon listening to the dragon's words, whatever a dragon was, as his voice isn't as deep as the voices of her own world which can be even deeper and more incredible in tone, so she really.....doesn't feel much fear as she decides to spout out.]

Excuse me? Is that any way to ask for help? With such rude language and so nonchalantly like that? It makes me want to help you even less!

[She is all for the informal and blunt way of speaking, but there is a rule of etiquette when asking for help in which she has no issue pointing out.]

Chew on is a saying, Nines. It means to think about.

[ She probably doesn't have much to offer in building, unless you want her to plop some flowers on top of a pod. However, she does want to help in some way. Though, she first has to ask: ]

...What are you chewing on that tastes so weird?

[ What an interesting pair. ]

I wonder if anything we built could sense everything.

[ For example, would a machine sensor have been able to give readings on those spirits? ]

I might be able to help. I've never built a robot from scratch, but I have some experience with maintenance.

[ Or whatever one would call two years of tinkering and supervising mechanics on his gundam and the very particular AI within it... ]

Don't feel bad, I did not know what chew on meant for a long time, too! I used to picture people eating their words, hehe.

My name is Jade, I could help out a bit! This sounds like it would be very helpful for all of us, so I would like to try, at least. I used to work with complicated schematics, and keep up with my dreambot. The person who built it for me is here, in a way, so maybe he can help as well.

I think our first job should be finding an alternate source of energy. This is... just a hunch of mine, but I do not know if electricity will be reliable and easy to access across the island? Of course, I did just get here...

As nice as knowing everything would be, even just gathering some basic information would be a great start. Like being able to monitor changes in weather and activity, or having solid data on the animal populations so we always know where we stand with our resources.

[Suddenly, Ghosts! probably falls somewhere under the first umbrella, but while he's sure pods are capable of a great deal, he doesn't know how they'd fair in that particular round of science versus nonsense.]

I'll help if I can.

[9S is good at breaking the tech stuff into something anachronistic alchemist friendly.]

[Hey, it's two of Kosuzu's favorite dudes in the coven!]

I don't know how much I can help with something like this, but it sounds like you guys are up to something cool! What's a pod?

I could help, perhaps. I'm afraid any tasks such as programming would be beyond me, but I have some skill in assembling things given the schematics for them.

What would be powering it, though? Ambient magic? Would it be self-sustaining enough to function or keep itself in good condition even when the coven travels... off-world?

[How about this, now. Quite the collaboration. Edward's is pretty impressed by the whole idea actually.]

I'm no mechanic, but I can do grunt work or anything, if someone can teach it.

[Edward can be a team player.]

And if alchemy ever decides to work, I can get you components. Until then I can lug materials around.
