[It takes a moment for the camera to adjust, but no matter how hard it tries the figure on screen seems to be bouncing about, constantly taking themselves out of view and absolutely ruining any sort of focus.]

Hey, hey. So, this is pretty low tech, huh? Can anyone hear me? Hellooooooo?

[There's a slight muffled thunk as Tenno reaches forward to tap at the camera with one finger.]

Yeah, so about that hero thing, when does it start? Like, I'm all ready to go now yep, no time like the present to head out so uhhh where do we go to start kicking butt?

Man, just enjoy the downtime while you can. When things start moving, they stay moving.

[Does not compute. What is 'down time'???]

Yeah, but then we should get them moving right? Sitting around doesn't do anything, there are faces to be punched and everything.

Sure, but we don't know where they are right now. Punching faces at random will just get you in trouble. We're police now. Kinda. More spandex, less shoulderpads.

Spandex...? [Not ringing any bells there, but that's not the important thing.]

No, not random faces. There are terrible people out there, right? Those faces, those are the ones we punch.

One must not seek battle or else you will fall prey to madness. Instead, let battle seek you.

...orrrrr we could strike first and take out any problems before they get worse?

The only people I've seen go mad were the ones that just wait around for bad things to happen.

Resolving problems falls under wise philosophy. Seeking out foes without a plan or pre-emptively striking without cause are both causes of disaster.

What if problems are resolved by acting before they can get to be worse problems? Reasonable cause, y'know? Like, if we know some guy is out there with the means and desire to blow up the moon, I don't know, isn't it better to go and prevent that as opposed to waiting for him to act and all the consequences that come with that?

[ Robbie can't believe this is someone's reaction to arriving here. ]

You're on a space station the size of the moon, using a tablet that could probably run NASA, we've got rings that let you fly and this is low tech?! There's an entire species of sentient robots! They have A.I. babies! I'm still not sure how that works.

Edited 2017-03-22 13:55 (UTC)

Well, okay, the flying thing is really cool. I only knew one frame that could fly, and like...she has to shrink down real tiny to do it so it's actually really cool that we can do it and still be big!

[Wait. Wait. Hold that train of though-]

...robot babies?

Yeah. An A.I. baby got loose in the Legion World computers and forced the holiday spirit on everyone.

[ It's hard to do a sage nod when he's saying that, but Robbie tries anyway. ]

....how does that even work? Aren't A.I. usually stuck to one terminal or device?

[Is that really the important question here, Tenno?]

Well, when two AI love each other very much, or one AI is lonely, or any of a few other reasons...

[What follows is a highly complex explanation that involves referencing multiple doctoral theses and lasts for about four hundred pages of single-spaced, twelve point font.]

...And that's basically the condensed version. I hope you got the gist. Now, if you want a more in-depth explanation as to how it works, I'd advise you to look at 122/COM 4th Series' essay. It reads better in computer code, though. Very poetic. He liked to challenge himself like that, but that's the 4th COM series for you. They really don't build them like that anymore.

[A quarter of the way through everything starts to blur into a giant mush of letters and numbers and really this is definitely something his cephalon would be better at untangling. Unless this was some sort of weird computer erotica. Is this computer erotica? Should he be reading this?]

Uh.

Computer plus computer equals baby computer. And some math thrown in, got it.

[Fake it until you make it, right?]

No. Computers are machines. Tools. AIs might stay in computers, but we're digital life forms. It's like calling a human a mouth. Or a bacterial incubator. Only one part of a whole, and a part that can be changed out.
