Welcome to Gaia! ::

After a few hours of gathering the parts that had been replaced, cracking them open and salvaging material, Bob heard Natalia speak up. He looked over to her and replied, " hmm? AI core? um......hmmm...." after thinking about it for a few moments..lets see....AI core.....AI core.....yea...didnt I have one of those that uncle proggrammed instead of a hyperspace nav computer? I think so....

As the moments tick by, Bob slowly nods, " yea, my uncle proggrammed one of those dealies because we couldnt salvage the nav computer. downside is that it can only go from this planet to wherever we had landed, but he said it could update itself if it could connect to something called the 'holonet'....that reminds me....he wanted me to bring him back a transmitter strong enough for him to get in touch with his old flunkies...something about wanting to show the galaxy that one of that some hackers don't die when they dissapear for 15 years..."

After a few more moments of thought, Bob replied, " no thanks, I think he said something about the system exploding if it were tampered with like that, or if someone tried to load it up without the password....anywho...back to work..."

Bob went back into his silent salvaging, finishing with it quickly before beggining his construction of a mental interface helm. hmm, this shouldn't take too long....got most of the parts I need from salvage, it will just be a pain to proggram and adjust.....then again, for that part I'll need Natalia to cooperate, since it's going to be one for her.

Perking up, Bob stopped what he was working on and set down his project. He got up and moved over to the ship, hopping in deftly and pulling off a wall panel. After doing this, he began pulling wires out of thier connectors seemingly at random, then rearranging certain ones and leaving others dangling. Following a few minutes of this, he spoke up and said, " there ya go, that should give ya the power feeds and such that you need for it, I'll go work and adjusting the wall panel to fit the emitter..."

After saying this, Bob looked at the wall panel, the area he had rearranged, and then over to Natalia, " where is that thingy anyway?"

Nodding, Bob replied, " thanks" before moving over to the aforementioned box and opening it up. after fishing around inside he retrieved the thing marked 'holonet reciever' and compared it in size to the wall panel. After going back into the ship, and making a few more comparisons of the wall panel and wiring, Bob took out his cutting tool. While leaving the cutter next to him, he took the wiring and hooked in the holo emmitter, taking only a few moments to do so due to his intimate knowledge of the ship. next, he took the wall panel and a pencil. using the pencil, he outlined where the emitter would be, and drew a precise area around that. Next, with his cutter, he took his time and cut the piece out. After this he popped the wall panel back into place, which left the holo emmiter sticking out just enough to be tinkered with, but not enough to interfere with motion. (note, holo emitter is in a higher up wall panel, which means, at worst, you can bump your head on it.)

Satisfied with his work, Bob brushed his hands together a bit, pocketed the wall panel cut out, and set his cutter back on his belt. All this before hopping out of the ship and going back to his creation of the mental interface helm.....

After a few hours of work, Bob finished the helm, leaving the long process of personalized proggramming to be done with Natalia.

Blinking out of his working mindset, Bob looked over to Natalia and nodded, " food and water sounds good now that you mention it....oh, for the mental interface we're going to need a few hours of personalization proggramming so that it can work with ya....otherwise it will probably misinterpret signals and such..."

With a smile, Bob carried the strange combination of open wires and fire-hazard pieces and plopped it onto Natalia's head. He adjusted the fit before taking the longest wire and hooking it into his datapad. From there, he launches a proggram, the display still in encrypted form. " now then....just dont think of explosions, and your hair won't catch fire...."

Bob gave Natalia a light punch on the shoulder, " only kidding of course. now then...."

On the Datapad, Bob pulls up a screen with a list (in Basic) of commands, placing it in front of Natalia, he says, " now then, first read through the list, pausing a few moments after each word, then read the list aloud, again pausing between words. then hit the button over here, and think one of the words on the list in a forceful manner, er...concentrate on the word, if the wrong word lights up, hit this button and try again."
