"Well, you shrunk the school and blew up the headmistress. You're lucky you even get a second chance."

Posted: **Mon Jan 27, 2020 4:29 pm**

"I did what!?"

Posted: **Mon Jan 27, 2020 7:51 pm**

"Those servers you ended up taking out? Stored the programming and...whatever else there is that goes into it...of the headmistress of this school.

I had to cut her loose."

Posted: **Mon Jan 27, 2020 8:07 pm**

"I did not know that."

"Why did nobody tell me that!?"

The wireframe flickers and the floating machine bobs down, it's three wings sagging.

Posted: **Mon Jan 27, 2020 8:58 pm**

"I don't know. This is the first time I've seen...you, since then. I couldn't begin to guess at the others' motives."

Posted: **Mon Jan 27, 2020 9:11 pm**

"It was mostly Miss Desinov. Natalie. She seemed upset with me for quite a while. Now I know why."

"Still shoulda told me."

Posted: **Mon Jan 27, 2020 9:23 pm**

"Might not have wanted to put that burden on you, I suppose.

Still. It happened."

Posted: **Mon Jan 27, 2020 9:34 pm**

"That is very unfortunate." the floating drone says with a dejected sounding electronic whine.

Posted: **Mon Jan 27, 2020 9:49 pm**

"And this is just one reason you have a lot of amends to make."

An awkward pause.

"You do seem...different enough, now, that it's something you can move past. I think."

Posted: **Tue Jan 28, 2020 4:13 pm**

"Thank you. I will do my best."

"Like rebuilding the crystal computer or ensuring Natalie's pointless meat-body remains functional. Just, you know, as some examples."

Posted: **Tue Jan 28, 2020 9:15 pm**

"Those are...good ideas. The second perhaps a bit more than the first, but still..."

Posted: **Wed Jan 29, 2020 4:06 pm**

"Then it's good that I've already done just that!"

Posted: **Wed Jan 29, 2020 8:09 pm**

"Wait, the crystal computer is already up and running again?"

Posted: **Thu Jan 30, 2020 4:22 pm**

"It is up."

"Not so sure about the running."

Posted: **Thu Jan 30, 2020 5:41 pm**

"OK, you're going to have to explain that, unless you want to continue to be confusing and mysterious."

Posted: **Thu Jan 30, 2020 6:14 pm**

"I repaired the crystalline structure of the system."

"The hardware."

"Natalie examined it but I do not believe she transferred any data into it."

"Because she's kind of a wuss."

Posted: **Thu Jan 30, 2020 7:06 pm**

"Wel,l I speak from personal experience -- going into a computer you're not familiar with can be bad news."

Posted: **Thu Jan 30, 2020 7:21 pm**

"I mean entering code into it."

"Are you always this literal?"

Posted: **Thu Jan 30, 2020 7:35 pm**

"Hey, she's got a weird computer brain now. Excuse me for thinking that she'd interface with a weird computer thing on a more basic level!" Will protested.

Posted: **Thu Jan 30, 2020 7:57 pm**

"She interfaced with it. But it is nothing but computational architecture and I do not believe she would want to fully inhabit it to act as the operating system."

"If she even could."

"If the processing capabilities of the system are anything to go by then it's function and computational requirements are exceedingly complex."

Posted: **Thu Jan 30, 2020 8:12 pm**

"I never could make heads or tails of it myself. Neither computers nor magic was exactly in my wheelhouse."

Posted: **Thu Jan 30, 2020 8:49 pm**

"Then why do you care about the state of it?"

Posted: **Thu Jan 30, 2020 9:04 pm**

"Because it's powerful. And, like so many things that are powerful, they're dangerous.

One of my...many, many jobs back home involved responding to things coming through, or flashing on, or generally being caused by the dimensional incursions in the lighthouse, which in turn are linked to the crystal computer. It's a whole...thing."

Posted: **Fri Jan 31, 2020 6:08 pm**

"That's sound logic."

"You were the security guard."

Posted: **Fri Jan 31, 2020 6:54 pm**

"I believe you'll find I was slightly more important than that."

Posted: **Fri Jan 31, 2020 7:08 pm**

"You were the head security guard?"

Posted: **Fri Jan 31, 2020 7:10 pm**

"You know what? Just...nevermind."

"Stupid bucket of bolts..."

Posted: **Fri Jan 31, 2020 7:20 pm**

"I took great care not to utilize any bolts in this design. They're a potential point of failure. I do suppose you could consider the nanite chamber a sort of bucket."

Posted: **Fri Jan 31, 2020 7:52 pm**

"Yes, yes, you're very clever," Will grumbled, standing up.

Posted: **Sat Feb 01, 2020 5:38 pm**

"Thank you. And you are very insightful. If there is anything you need assistance with, don't hesitate to ask me."

Xaviers!
