Helena Wells-Quinzel is H.G. Wells (indelibleink) wrote in makebelievelog,

Regardless of age, children would always be children. Helena well knew the need for instant gratification on matters of curiosity. She herself still had it in great amounts, but a child's need for instant gratification went even beyond hers. So she could understand the grumbling as the mud-clad boy and droid went to clean up. Still, it was for the better as the parts in this room didn't need to be contaminated with mud and dirt.

Once it was just her and older Anakin in the room, Helena went over to the materials she'd selected, studying them each individually all the while listening to Anakin's explanation. "Ah, so that extra bit of personality was your touch?" She smirked a bit. "Sometimes things just need to be enhanced. Though there are also times when old-fashioned things work just as well." Despite Myka not being there, it was a pointed comment to her Grappler, even though Anakin wouldn't know that. That didn't exactly matter though, Helena herself was what people liked to call old-fashioned, and she didn't mind it at all. She was still trying to grasp modern science and technology on a larger scale, but she was a quick study when things were explained to her.

Which was why as she started to affix her materials together, she listened closely to Anakin's explanation. Despite her gaze being solely on what she was working on to build, she listened to every word the other man said. And she followed along until he used the term A.I., which caught her complete attention. She glanced up at him, tilting her head slightly. "A.I.?" She was trying to decipher the term within her own mind, but artificial intelligence wasn't exactly a term she was familiar with. Robotics and other such things that fell under that category of science were still beyond her realm of intimate knowledge. Though she was fairly certain the longer she spent around Anakin, the more familiar with that aspect of science she would become. And she rather did like that.

"They do sound useful, being able to make all of those adjustments and decisions to take stress off of the main pilot." Space travel on such a level was something Helena had only imagined and written about in a fictional sense, but she did understand the topic. "From your description it would seem a great many of these astromech droids are all given one kind of personality and are not individualized to the pilot that owns them unless that pilot makes adjustments themselves?" She wasn't certain if that was a correct assumption or not, which was why she'd phrased it as a question. This truly was all fascinating to Helena and she wanted to learn more.
