[...] We have air ships. I-It doesn't seem like many people have those, so...

Huh? [...what was she talking about again? There's something about that voice that sparks her attention away from the primary question. ...yeah. She knows that voice, but from where?]

Do I... know you?

Air ships do not exist in my world. [Ba'ul doesn't really count in this] It never really crossed our minds to develop aerial transportation back home.

[...] Did we meet when I was supposedly here previously?

["Here previously"? So he left?] Yes, I... I think so. [There's a short pause, before the voice and name finally clicks.] Um... you wouldn't happen to be Mr. Alexei, would you?

[Or was it just Alex. B|]

[Did somebody ask about technology? How is Robert going to ignore this?

Oh, well, the war machine part kind of disturbs him. Okay, it disturbs Robert a lot. But he doesn't ask about it...]

Terran technology is myriad and complex, but the most interesting things to discuss would probably be the nanocomputers. The Malnosso were considerate enough to at least let me have one here.

... What exactly would you be interested in knowing, though? Much of Terran technology is significantly ahead of the technology here.

[He's totally gonna make war machines, out of paper, that'll actually work.]

Well, I wouldn't mind hearing what sort of technology and devices are utilized by common folk everyday, but I'm curious about these nanocomputers that you brought up.

Actually, in this case they do overlap. Nanocomputers are available to all levels of the Terran populace, and even infants have access to highly specialized, simplified kinds.

[Maybe that's kind of creepy to somebody else, but Robert certainly doesn't see anything odd about it.]

Simply put, the generalized definition for a nanocomputer is a compact electronic device; most models typically range from five to thirty centimetres across, depending on the power necessary and the tools required, but there are larger and smaller models for specialized purposes. They invariably have a means of data storage and communication amongst themselves with malleable port technology, and all nanocomputers are capable of connecting to both the Terran databases and the Internet 3.0, which is a network that encompasses the entire planet and had recently been extended to several natural and artificial satellites around Terra itself.

[Thoughtfully:] It is a shame that the Malnosso would not wish to distribute them here rather than the journals. They ( ... )

...Quite a bit. [A network that encompasses the entire world? If only making a blastia network sounded as easy as this person was making it. It was a lot of information, with a lot of terms he was not familiar with so he'll carefully break it down.]

So nanocomputers are basically an artificially created source of energy in your world. At the same time, they are capable of storing a mass collection of information? And this internet, what sort of network is it?

[ A strange, yet not altogether surprising question coming from Alexei. Yet, it still pings Duke. He's curious about the reason why it was asked, but he sees no reason to ask or interfere if the others from Terca Lumireis have not. So he will simply note this and do what he does best.

Television.

[A few days without it. He's stumped. He's distraught. He needs his Spanish Soap Operas]

You know, TV? The main view? The boobtube?

I apologize, but I'm afraid I do not know what any of those are or mean.

[Yes, because asking about what types of war machines people had in their homeworlds definitely doesn't raise any suspicions with Raven what-so-ever.

Not even going to bother poking a response, Alexei knew more about Terca Lumitech than this old man ever did.]
