Right. Also got one of the glowing animals. Don't know what kind it is but looks like this;

On other matters back in my previous dimension I was part of a veteran's group. Did more or less what the 'Previously Dead' Club does, except geared towards people that have fought. If there's interest, could look into setting that up. Helped me a lot.

	No false skin, but yeah detachable. Don't really wear gloves and no don't mind if you document the schematics. It's my left hand so if it needs to stay with you for a bit, that's doable. Then I'll be there soon. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Okay! I think the first thing we'll do is some simple diagnostics and that shouldn't take more than 20 minutes to complete. That'll tell me if it's a mechanical or code-based issue. Regardless we'll do a silicone wash to make sure it's not just dust and grime getting in there and gumming up the works. And I'll see about working in some energy shielding to keep that from happening.

Sorry, I love working with new tech so I get a little excited!

	It's fine, you obviously love this stuff. Not an engineer technically but I know enough to repair a few things. And I like learning so if you want to run me through what you're doing I'm happy to listen. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I tend to talk to the machines I'm working with (even my tools, really), so I'm not going to complain about more ears! :) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Do the same so no judgement here. Sometimes they talk back too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Even the non-sentient ones? I wish. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sadly, that's not something I can do either. There's a technique I've heard about that lets you do it but it's dark side powered so I avoid it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't quite know what that means but it sounds ominous. I don't know why talking to machines would be a bad thing, but I don't know your homeworld either :( (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Was told this particular power is more or less imposing your will over mechanical constructs, so from what I know it's not really talking. It's telling something to go against it's own desires, and forcing it do what you want. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh no no no, not like that. I meant like having a discussion, not exerting control over something with its own thoughts. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Only the sentient ones can hold a conversation on their own, but there might be a way. Ways of the Force are mysterious and all that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I wish I understood the Force more. It seems very nuanced! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It can be yes. Will tell you a secret though; not even the Jedi understand it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	betheirshield 2020-09-09 04:42 pm UTC (link)
	Maybe that's a good thing, though :) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	force_wound 2020-09-09 04:44 pm UTC (link)
	It probably is. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	betheirshield 2020-09-09 05:16 pm UTC (link)
	Right. If you understood it thoroughly, there'd be nothing left to discover. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	True but they do like to claim they know everything. Most of the time they're just blowing hot air. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sounds like government work, all right. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You have no idea. (Reply to this) (Parent)
