Anybody got some kind of multiversal adapter so I can transfer the stuff off my phone before the battery kicks it with no way to recharge? Just pictures, music, that kind of thing.

I can figure out all the software and file compatibility stuff, I just need someone who can give me the hardware to, you know, actually plug it in.

Damn, I hadn't even thought of that. Let me know if you figure out? All my equipment is completely wireless, though, not sure how in god's name I'll get them to recharge or share information.

Are you good with computers?

[hacker]

Scary good. If you let me at your equipment, I might be able to work some magic. Assuming we're not staring down the barrel of some sincerely embarrassing selfies or private emails here.

[ He still had countless of pics of him and Jim and the rest of the crew spanning four years on his PADD. All thanks to Kirk, king of 'lets immortalize this horribly embarrassing moment with a photo'. ]

Well, nothing x-rated at least. The sanctity of your eyes will be spared. My dignity, however, may be another story.

And please tell me you don't literally mean /magic/ I still can't wrap my brain around that shit yet.

[klutziness]

i haven't seen anything like that here but i'll keep my eyes peeled
might be able to throw some spare parts together and make something up

[hacker]

Relax, Leonard. Figurative magic only. Are you still up on floor 44?

[consequence]

I think there was a whole group of people doing file sharing a while ago.
I haven't ever ended up with one of my phones here, but I'm sure there has to be someone

[hacker]

All I need is a 30-pin adapter on one end and something to plug into a TQ terminal on the other. If I show you the port, think you could work something up?

[hacker]

Great. Someone must have worked it out then, right?

[notyourutopian]

You have a phone that runs on batteries and is full of music and pictures?

What?

[consequence]

I'm sure someone has. The number of people that have shown up with their phones isn't slight. Having a way to salvage that last bit of home is a valuable commodity.

what year are you from?

[hacker]

Go ahead and file that one under questions I never thought I'd have to answer. 2014. You?

[hacker]

Come on. You're on a ship full of monsters hurtling through outer space and you're surprised by smart phones?

[consequence]

2014. I just was curious how many iPhones series might have been made.

and for the record I came from New Orleans.

[notyourutopian]

I feel like I'm surprised by everything here.

[hacker]

The whole thing's pretty trippy, I'll give you that.
What year are you from?

[notyourutopian]

[There's a little delay before she answer.]

1968.

[hacker]

L.A., for me. McCoy might know. He's like 200 years ahead of us.
Anyway, any idea who was running this file sharing thing?

[hacker]

Yikes. I mean it's only like 50 years different from me but it's a steep 50 years when you're going from pre- to post- computers.

[notyourutopian]

Computers? We had one of those in Rapture. 'The Thinker.'

It ran most of the maintenance and security systems. Mother said it was the most advanced one in the world.

[consequence]

I can look. it was something almost recent I think.

[Hayley frowns. Okay, so apparently recent is not as recent as she realizes.]

Okay so this was what I remembered seeing, but it's a year old. [COMM ARCHIVE] I think a few of those people are still here.

[hacker]

Sorry, Rapture?

[notyourutopian]

The city I grew up in. I can almost assure you that you haven't heard of it, no one here has.

[hacker]

Sweet. I'll make some calls.

[hacker]

So the 60s doesn't always mean the same 60s. I get it.

[ Kate mentioned something to that effect when she said she was from a world similar to Skye's, but different. ]

Well, think of it like the Thinker, except we've managed to whittle it down to size and stick it in our phones. And they're mobile.

[consequence]

If that is a dead end a while back we hit a space station and most of us raided it for tech and supplies. you can try to check with anyone that has any sort of cords or cables that were gathered during that time.

something is bound to work
