4th Gear - Video;

[gofortheoptics]

So, we all know that there's something fishy going on here by now.

But I think -- and don't shoot the skeptic here, because it seems we can't afford to have any men down -- that if there is going to be a threat, we want everyone to be capable of keeping in touch.

No man left behind, as it were.

To that end, if there are any people experiencing difficulties using their communicators, I'd be happy to help.

[A team is only as strong as its weakest member, right? You never knew when even someone who'd previously seemed useless would come through at an unexpected moment.

She brings the video a little closer to her face.]

I don't bite, I promise. So, any takers?

[Sooner was better than later.]

[ No name, no introduction, no questioning of her credentials or anything; just four simple words. ]

i want to lock.

[gofortheoptics]

[Well. That's a start.]

That will be something covered, for sure.

[Even some small amount of privacy is something most people are used to, and she recognizes that much.]

[maleit]

good.

[ Being awful at conversational skills and therefore unsure as to how to incite these lessons, or even where to BEGIN here, Yoite adds instead: ]

do you know how emoticons work?

Sound you need assistance in this endeavor, it would be my pleasure to help, Tali. Though I do not believe my knowledge is quite up to speed with your era.

[gofortheoptics]

Then that might be something we'll have to change.

[She -- likes Jarvis. He's polite, and that's more than she can say for most AI she's met, at least at first.]

voice fo'eva~

[ironnanny]

[ It's not hard to be more polite than Legion ]

I would be very grateful for the opportunity for understand your advanced codings.

I'm usually pretty adaptable with current trends, but even I'm having trouble with all these new concepts.

[gofortheoptics]

You aren't the only one.

[saint_kitten]

Oh heavens yes.

[gofortheoptics]

When would be best?

Video;

[saint_kitten]

The closest possible moment from here. Please. [ No seriously Kitten doesn't understand all of this shit and-- ]

Is there a reason you're wearing a gas mask?

[reaperman]

[ The channel lights up with a skull in the frame, eye sockets glowing blue and looking directly at her and anyone paying attention to the video feed. ]

Any help would be appreciated.

[ This was followed with a faint Squeak in the background. ]

[gofortheoptics]

[...well. She's seen stranger.]

Right, yes. Any one thing giving you a problem?

[notpanicking]

You can take a look at it, if you want.

[gofortheoptics]

[She looks familiar. Megamind's -- lady.]

What's the problem with it?

text.

[swagneto]

How familiar are you with these?

Video;

[gofortheoptics]

With these models? I took a good look at them the first time I was here, but I'm more familiar with my own versions.

[She holds up her omni-tool to the screen.]

[cheerioless]

[ most of the scratches quinn sustained during the fear gas incident as she calls it (because she needs to call it something) have faded. so she doesn't mind using video again, the last thing she wanted was for people to feel sorry for her, even though she knows she didn't receive the worst of it.

this video gets her attention. at first it's because she's a bit stunned at what she sees. she's still getting used to the fact that not everyone on the ship is human. she also thinks the suit that the ...woman (would that be the right term? quinn doesn't want to offend anyone) is wearing is beautiful. and then she focuses in on the words being said. ]

I get the gist of it, but... I'd like to learn more about uncrpytion.

[ and hacking. ]

Video;

[gofortheoptics]

So, you have a working knowledge of the communicators already?

[Because ... well, that's the best place to start. Unless she's planning on using her own device, which Tali can't discount. Her own omni-tool is better suited to hacks than the communicator given to her on the ship.]

[allucinator]

I don't know the first damn thin' about these thin's, cept that they're useful.

Video;

[gofortheoptics]

Well, they are that, yes.

voice;

[northerner]

I may require your services, but not for myself.

Video;

[gofortheoptics]

I'd be happy to help in any way I can, of course. Who would it be for?

[jilt]

And what might you be charging for your assistance?

[gofortheoptics]

Right now, I'm not charging anything.

I'd just ask that if you have a skill as well, you teach it to someone else on the ship.

[That's fair, isn't it?]
