DAY 19 MONTH JELLY

Video

[Entrapta plants herself in front of the screen, holding eight tools at once in various locks of hair with her protective bug-mask pushed up on her head. She's got gloves now and her orange hoodie is accompanied by a purple shirt (she traded for one early on). Because she's the height of fashion, obviously.]

Hiiii! I know there are some very competent builders and makers out there. I'm still finalizing my chores robot-

[Two little robot clampers reach into the bottom of the screen. They make little 'grabby' motions, then withdraw.]

-Everyone, say hi to Sandra! Sandra, beep hi to everyone.

[Sandra beeps. That probably means 'hello'.]

I collected some data from the last stop we were at, thanks to both on-site observations and salvaged scrap, and I've started to get a better handle on hard-light technology! Think of all the applications! We could make temporary protective shields when you don't have someone with those abilities around. Or even drones that can carry a holographic generator into a place where you wouldn't normally be able to access, and you could work on something through a VR headset. Or you could generate an illusion to hide a location while you rest and plan! And that's just a few examples. The potential for mobile field generators is endless.

But I need some help working out some of the missing information. Some of you even have your own version of that technology or have ways to adapt it to be compatible with magic.

[The links two tools together, because that's the way to symbolize compatibility here one would guess.]

I also wanted to ask some of the fighters what they'd want out of practice, if I were, say, to build something with very specific specs. I was talking to someone about that sort of thing and she's not wrong about training resources.

[Nita gives a wave of greeting to Sandra in return - but for the most part, after turning on the feed she just listens, nodding intermittently with a curious frown on her face.]

That... I could see all of that being useful, yeah.

You want me to come over and share the specs of my shields? Or I could help test it, even.

Need an archer for weapons testing?

[She is, of course, fascinated by the idea of robotic life forms from outside her universe - and how advanced they might be by comparison or not. But she's also trying to be helpful, and so.]

Well, where I'm from, they don't have hard-light holographics - but we do have personal energy shields. They'll protect you from energy weapons, which are incredibly common.

It's said that some of the older dueling cultures like the Echani or Mandalorians created shields for protection from physical blows in melees, and there were other specialized ones. The trick is having the right shield for the task, I suppose.

[ Entrapta, you truly are something else.

This is something Inigo already figured out earlier, but he can't help but look baffled at both the sight of the little robot and just.. everything the other is saying. This is way above Inigo's single braincell's capacity of thought, but he's impressed all the same. ]


You.. truly can do a lot. [ Give him a moment, his brain is still processing all this. It's buffering. ] Not only did you make that chores robot, but you could really make all of those other things too?

[Azula is still figuring out this new technology so she takes entirely too long to adjust her camera.]

So, you are offering to build us things to train with?

It needs to be a lot more durable than what the training dummies are made out of now. I know my blade's unusually sharp but it's too easy to damage them to the point they're unusable.

[As soon as he hears Entrapta on the ICP Devero drops whatever he's doing, wherever he is, and rushes over to the screen. And just in time to see little clampers come into view. Awww.] You have to let me meet Sandra when she's done. Please.

[Okay, onto business.] We don't have anything like that hardlight tech where I come from, but drones? I can help you with drones. Being able to project a useable body somewhere that we can't get to physically would be fantastic.

[Not that all of her suggested applications aren't, but that one in particular is right up his alley given the nature of tech where he comes from.]

Tactile illusions are the specialty of a close associate of mine, back home. I'm not nearly as skilled with illusion magic as he is, but I am quite experienced with combining magic and technology.

Looks like you are hard at work.

[She will also give a small wave for Sandra, because why not really.]
