[Video] Egret Day 24, Afternoon
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.]

Re: [ICP Text]
[It helped a little that the train didn't seem to care what people thought of it, didn't try to control what people thought.
Webmind's had experience with those kinds of governments; he's helped to replace them.]
Re: [ICP Text]
Depends what you mean by 'our side.'
They probably aren't looking to cause us outright harm, given the SCA warning system and all. But considering we were kidnapped without requesting our assistance, I'd say they are NOT looking out for our interests.
[Sure, Dairine hasn't seen any events happen where the passengers' minds were affected yet. But she's not let down her guard either.]
Re: [ICP Text]
Or at least better determine what they really know.
[Some things they just don't know right now, and that bothers him as much as it does Dairine, by the look of it.]
In the meantime, I'll go ahead send you what I've composed so far for the ICP programming interface language. There is much we could make of what we do have, if we're willing to try.
[Have a ping!, Spot! Enjoy what this nonwizard-computer's done so far.]
