*It's the middle of the night, a good bit after Dark Hour, but Allen isn't asleep. His phone is recording him sitting at his desk, the glow of both his heavily modified desktop computer and a futuristic holographic screen providing most of the lighting. But even in the low light, it's easy to tell that something's eating at him.*

What the hell did I even mention that out loud for? As if the dreams weren't bad enough already...it's almost like I wasn't even thinking before I spoke up.

*He shakes his head and shuts down the holoscreen before grabbing a pot of coffee off of his desk and topping off a mug of the stuff.*

But why that, of all things? Dammit, this is just what I need...

*He rubs his forehead, then starts emptying packets of sugar into the coffee as the phone flicks off.*

Understood! If that's the case, talking to a stranger would be pretty weird, huh?

[She'll just have to investigate it on her own, then.]

Can I at least help distract you from it?

*Good luck, this is the first he's spoken of it ever.*

I've been keeping myself pretty busy, but if you want to keep talking, I won't object.

*He picks up the hand held computer again and the holo screen pops back up.*

[She'll need time to get a base of operations first, so she'll just keep an ear out until she has the opportunity to do some real bugging digging ♥]

Oh, wow! Just what kind of technology is that?

Oh, this? It's my connection gear. It's a pretty powerful hand held computer that can network with other computers. It's pretty new technology where I'm from.

That's far more advanced than any technology we ever had! ...Of course, I'm apparently from close to a decade ago compared to this place, so I'm sure that doesn't help.

How does it work?

[Video] You don't ask an engineer thaaaat!

[want_a_vacation]

I'm from almost five millennia in the future, so it's understandable.

Ah...how much do you already know about electronics?

[Video] But she wants to know ALL THE THINGS

[puppet_show]

I frequently use them for my research, so I know a little.
