[Robert's voice is tired, dull and sad (probably due to events that haven't happened yet ICly), but this question pings him enough to talk to the strange person.]
There appears to be little l-logical explanation for the... s-state of the technology here.
Most n-notably, the Battle Dome's clinic only c-contains "twenty-first century" medical t-technology.
[It may be evident from the disgust creeping into Robert's tone that this has been a problem more than once.]

[How rude, Robert. Strange person, he's the one from an utopic world where any kind of violence is impossible to understand.]
Uhm, the twenty-first century is ages in the future for me, but I know for a fact that most of the technology here is, at the best case, outdated in my planet. The teleporters are the thing that approaches most, but they are still a way to go, same with the battle dome.
[She notices that disgust and she can't help to match it. Right now she feels that it would have been better to have no technology at all rather than this "yes but no" they have. Dealing with no technology is easier than dealing with old technology after all.]
So, what's the explanation? Or is it just a scientific way to cap our technological capacities? I read that there's a power cap of sorts that makes people only around half as strong as they would normally be.
[And Goku still feels monstrous, she doesn't want to know how he must be outside of the barrier.]

["Strange" in the sense of "haven't talked to before", mostly. And Robert knows he qualifies as strange by most Lucetian standards, by this point.]
T-time periods seem to be... r-rather inconsequential h-here. It s-seems that different multiversions have... d-different standards for t-technological growth and c-culture relative to their i-individual time frames...
... Most of the technology here is... o-outdated for me as well, though the t-teleporters would d-defy physics.
[Robert's tone is a bit helpless at the next part.] Like a-anything else they do, there is no r-real explanation. Presumably they... might have ch-chose technology that the majority of L-Lucetians would... i-identify with. C-Considering where m-most of us come from...
... But I t-truly do not know, other than that... J-just that most advanced mechanisms here are difficult to c-construct due to a lack of r-resources.
[He exhales shakily. This is giving him something to focus on, but nothing can obliterate the pain of the last few days...]
[Voice] - 3 out of 6 of my chars are talking to Robert right now xDcuriousgeniusJune 7 2011, 19:56:38 UTC
I see... I suppose that then if for you the technology there is from the twenty first century, the technology level you would expect from my world would be minimal, then. It's a bit amusing.
[She giggles.]
We don't use teleporters in my world, but I know they can be done. Though I agree that they defy physics. But so do time machines or watches that reduce your size down to the same size of a toy.
[Bulma hums as he continues. She is noticing that he seems to have problems with talking, but she can't know why. She could ask but it seems rude, normally she doesn't have many problems with being rude but she's still settling down and doesn't want to create a negative image. So for now she lets it slip, though she will inquiry if she feels it's getting too noticeable to be ignored.]When you say "where most of us come from", do you refer to a planet with human habitants? I've noticed that most of the people here have the same appearance as humans, but from experience I know it doesn't mean we all come from similar planets or even
( ... )
From what I can tell this place has been here for years. And with the variety of people who are brought to the village, it can be assumed most direct methods have already been tried and tested. [He's ruling out that attacking the barrier with just about ANYTHING is going to work.]
But what I know for certain is physical. Magical powers are something that has also likely been tried. I say this because I have personally spoken to multiple people who have magical capabilities.
I agree with that, even without gathering information it's pretty easy and logical to assume that anything aimed to attack the barrier has been tried and failed. But I had the hope that other ways had been used as well, or that some study about the barrier itself had been made.
I can't seem to find even a proper explanation of what it is. "Energy barrier" can mean many things after all.

I expected that much. I take that normally punching to break things works easily for you then?

Usually, yeah. [He waves his huge stone hand in front of the camera.] Not much can get past this baby.

And that is a huge stone hand, good sir.]
It certainly looks like a strong and healthy baby. What kind of things can get past it? If you have ever encountered any besides the barrier, that is.

Physical action is always the first one to be taken, so it doesn't surprise me. Is that the only way of action that has been attempted?
