[Locked to Residents]

[castbytheglyph]

Hey-o Luceti, how's it going?! This is Pascal coming to you from the super secret tappy-tap things! I've been waiting to come down here forever and get my hands on 'em ever since Precis did her thing not too long ago, they're pretty intense. I bet if I just plonk on this thing...

[Everyone is now treated to a few minutes of Pascal tapping the camera and purposely rubbing her hands over the microphone a few times. Now this setup is pretty sweet, way better than the outdated junk that was found further down the tunnels... Oh right, important stuff. It wouldn't be right if Pascal came down here and just talked, she has a journal for that, so have some typing.]

Okay, so a little while back me and some other guys all went off on this mission to learn about the droids. Not only that, but we went off to make sure all the droidy guys get super messed up! Not sooo messed up that you can tell, but you know, tiny itty-bitty things that are actually HUGE. If any droids showed up to drag you off to the draft then maybe you already know that they've seriously been knocked down a peg, or ten. Or whole stack of pegs!

Let's see. The droids have this endless zappy battery so they can keep going on and on and ooon, but a few of us guys tweaked a few things or whatever and now they're not so endless! Or they might just overheat on you, but that's really good too! Just not for the droids. I think there was some thunkathunk on the armor and joints the droids have, but one of the techies will need to field that!

What else... Oh, yeah, right! There are like billions of lines of code and stuff in those guys! There's so much that you could slip in something without anyone else knowing, but that secret something ends up being major pain in the butt. Or a pain in the crotch, you should all go for the crotch! Those droids might be able to calculate a kabillion different way to fight back, but they'll be totally stumped if you aim for between their legs. Not only that, but if the droids seem distracted or frozen then that was us too! Turns out that if you turn (this) into ((this) then you really kafrazzle them!

And that's it! If you want to ask anything then go ahead, I'll be here to answer all your droid-like questions and stuff.

[Or she'll be answering when she isn't staring intently at the laptop and poking around a little.

OOC - Open discussion. Threadjacking is definitely encouraged, especially as Pascal probably isn't the best at explaining the nitty gritty stuff in a more straightforward way.]

[savedtheworld]

You... you guys did that? You made the droids vulnerable?

[Pause]

I can't thank you enough.

[risingshepard]

We're just doing our jobs.

No need to treat us like saints or anything.

[savedtheworld]

But it let someone precious to me get saved from war. I gotta let out all my thankfulness somehow.

[risingshepard]

Then give it to everyone else. They did the real work here. I just lended a helping hand.

[She's selling herself rather short, isn't she?]

[savedtheworld]

But help's work too. I'm just gonna still thank you anyway!

[Voice]

[daisy023]

[Hearing this makes her pause. In the middle of the regrets of the last draft... this makes her feel well. Amidst the innocents she had to kill for the cure, she did something for those that would refuse to go to fight.

She takes too long to answer.]

... We did what was expected of us. It was only necessary.

[A phrase of a close friend comes to her mind.

No soldier should be honored for doing what it's expected.]

[Voice]

[savedtheworld]

Yeah, and what you did and what was necessary was good! It makes me feel really glad, a-and thankful!

[generalflirt]

Cool, but I'll accept thanks in the form of a pie.

[He would not normally show off that he did a (non-essential) role in sucha mission.


...But he wants to tease Aang]

[savedtheworld]

Masaomi! You were...?

What kind?

[generalflirt]

Out doing the dumb work while the experts handled the hard part? Mmmmhm.

[savedtheworld]

Oh, well... that's still work. Still helping. And I meant, what kind of pie do you want?

[generalflirt]

Oh, well, I'll tackle apple.

[savedtheworld]

Apple? Then that's what you're gonna get. Air nomad style!

[deathsdoctor]

Team effort, Mister Aang. Everyone did the jobs they were needed to do.

... but you're welcome, from all of us.

[savedtheworld]

R-right, Mr. Law. I know the value of team effort alright. I wouldn't be hear without it. And I'm grateful to all of you.

[castbytheglyph]

[Everyone else is acting all cool and professional about it. Come on guys, a little thanks isn't bad!]

You bet we did! Make sure you thank all the guys involved like Mister Parallelogram, turtle guy, Raine, Artemis and all the other techies.

[savedtheworld]

Oh, sure! Thanks all around! To... all of those people! Raine, too?

[castbytheglyph]

Raine too! Don't skip her out just because that white hair makes her look way older than she really is, okay?

[savedtheworld]

Of course! Raine's my friend and I'm really glad she helped! I was just making sure since I hadn't known she was on the mission. She actually looks real young! [He's still stuck on her self-image from that one experiment.]

[castbytheglyph]

Oh, well yeah, she looks really young! ... For her age. [She has no idea how old she really is. Never mind that Pascal has white hair too.]

Maybe you should sign up for the next mission, then you'll know who's goin'! They're really fun, or this one was anyway.

[savedtheworld]

Fun? A lot of them sound dangerous. But I have been keeping my eyes open for missions. Anything that could help me protect the people I care about.

[i_speak_softly]

[Helping with a battle effort through technology? And being publicly thanked for it? Sometimes Luceti is a very good place.]

Hello again.

[castbytheglyph]

Hey you, I was just talkin' about you! [What a coincidence this is.] How's it going?

[i_speak_softly]

So-so.

[Meaning "Not good, but better than it could be, and likely to improve soon."]

[castbytheglyph]

... So?

[Elaborate please.]
