It would be a really cool project and I'd definitely have to come and visit if you got to working. Maybe it'd be even easier than programming robots...? It's just overlaying stuff onto reality, right?
[ he doesn't know a damn thing about this stuff. useless. ]
Mm... I think we have to make sure the place is safe first, though.
[ if it's even still there, he doesn't add. who even knows with this ship, especially with all that stuff about digestion... ]
It's a little more complex than that, but you're not wrong. Depending on the intensity of the simulation it can't be that much harder. I'm still learning more about programming, but it's interesting to learn. And I'm about to have a lot of time on my hands again anyway if I don't find a job. Maybe I can make a new VR system and make money that way.
[ but...hum. ]
...it'd be so much easier if we could send messages to all of these planets, but communication's always been a little weird out here.
[ man, he kind of wishes shoma and akito could meet now. they'd probably have a great chat about this stuff. ]
I bet you could. You seem like you'd learn fast, even if it is complicated. You could probably do the same with your robots, if you wanted - though I get it if you'd want to just keep that to yourself.
Yeah... We'd probably have to ask the senior crew to give it a shot, right? They're the ones who were talking to them all before.
Yeah, probably. [ he's not exactly shy about agreeing he's smart, but he also doesn't always bring it up. ] Everything I told you before was true. I started learning early...Roboji was built about a week before we got here, but his predecessor was something I started working on when I was about eleven or twelve and finished in a few months. Knowing how it works and how everything connects is a pretty big part of technology. [ but he shrugs. ] You mean selling them? I don't know if they're that special yet. But maybe someday.
Anyway there's nothing wrong with asking. At this rate I think all we can do is keep asking things and figuring out where to go from there.
...That fast? Man, there's really no way I'd be able to keep up with you. [ he has such smart friends uwaaah. ] Seriously, though, I think if you put your mind to it, you'll make it work, one way or another.
[ money situation aside. ]
That's all we've got until we land again... We're supposed to be hitting the company's hub next, right? I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little bit worried about it.
I work fast but I also like to work until I finish stuff. [ sometimes you hyperfocus. ] Besides, consider us even. It's not like I've got the kind of talent you do. But...you're right. I'll give it some more thought when we get back and I know what I'm working with.
[ sips his boba thoughtfully... ]
Dude, I'm kind of worried, too. We've heard about Nut & Bolt and we know that it's entirely possible that's not even who we've really been working for, but nothing's guaranteed. For all we know we might be flying right into a trap somehow.
I understand. I'm the same way when I'm trying to nail a song down. But yeah... definitely a later problem.
[ they have more pressing matters, like nut & bolt. ]
Not that we can stop it, but that's exactly what I've been thinking. But I think that all we can really do is just... try to be prepared, right? As much as we can be. As long as we're careful and don't do anything too reckless, maybe we'll find what we need to fix all this.
[ there's a nod. a later problem. they can talk about aspirations for home when they, you know, save their homes. ]
Unless there's a way to somehow steer the ship entirely off-course, no. We're pretty stuck. It sucks but I think we're gonna have to keep our heads down for at least the first day so we don't draw attention. Give us a chance to look around on our own and investigate stuff. See what information we can gather for ourselves to figure it out. But...with all of us back, it might be harder to keep everybody in line.
