[Video] Egret Day 24, Afternoon

[wizard_redfive]

Hey, fellow passengers.

So I've got a look inside these ICP monitors. [She taps the screen.] Remotely, of course.

Its parts are about what you'd expect from similar technology. Not quite Earth tech, but close enough to make comparisons. What's really unique are the materials making up those parts. I've seen some off world metals in my day, but these are new. Some of their compounds aren't even on the periodic table! ...Yet.

[Dairine grins smugly.]

Has anyone looked into the metal that makes up other parts of the train? Maybe we could compare notes.

[She doesn't bring up the system or programming discoveries. Those Dairine wants to save for people she trusts.]

Mmfph.

[Spot does his best to transcribe the disgruntled sound that Dairine makes. She's not a runt!]

I suppose either could be possible, but if the train could save worlds by itself why bother grabbing us? This might be a hint towards the First Gen!

Was the trip hard on him? I know Paradisa could be rough on Spot sometimes.

[Especially during times or places where powers didn't work.]

[Nita snickers. Thanks, Spot!]

There might've been more than just a 'First' Gen, too; we only have so much in the way of speculation to go on.

[As for the other part... how best to put it?]

Getting there, yeah, but not so much being there?

[Look, he ended up in an Umbreon body, there's no way to get that across without using massive understatement.]

Did you want to go over the molecular structure of the train metal or not?

[There is a silent glare. She might not have heard the laugh, but her little sister senses were tingling.]

Yeah, yeah. I was thinking more of the First Gen in Paradisa. Who as far as I know, might not have been the first group there either.

[She shrugs.] These places do a great job at obscuring their history.

Well, that's a switch. Usually it goes the other way around.

[With the stay being much worse that getting there, which is almost instantaneous.]

[Dairine rolls her eyes.]

Yeah, yeah. Give me a sec, geez...

[The door to cabin B5 swings open. A frowning Dairine pops her head out.]

You could'a knocked.

[Action~]

[unfavorableinstigation]

[Nita's not frowning, herself, though what IS there is a not-quite smile.]

And what'd be the point in that?

[She's teasing, though.]

Mind if I come in, or did you want to take this elsewhere after all?

[Action]

[wizard_redfive]

[Dairine gives her a sour look. Somehow she suspects this is sisterly payback for something.]

[She does, however, swing the door open.]

Nah. My roommates aren't in, so this'll do.

[Spot will get a ping as soon as Nita walks in; Bobo passing along the data for proper viewing and modelling.

At the same time, Nita flips her Manual open, turning to put one eye on the door.]

The metal's definitely not something we've seen before, but that's hardly news.
