syntechWho: Fox and whoever
Broadcast: Audio/Video
Action: Heron, possibly Iskaulit's library
When: July 26
[The feed doesn't start out terribly clearly, and it appears the communicator has been all but abandoned on the edge of a table, its only point to record... something. The blank white walls of a bedroom feature first, of course, and there's a voice that rises some few seconds later. Those with particularly sharp ears might hear the shift of a hand, or the faintest sound of what almost sounds like keys being tapped.
The voice itself is odd, androgynous almost to a fault and not quite... natural. Its inflections are close to the real thing, but if you listen closely, you can tell that many of the words are made up of pre-recorded sounds, rather than being stated aloud. Anyone from the Heron will likely recognise the 'voice' of their quietest member, the peculiar, pale-skinned man with a shifty stance and a very, very weak constitution.]
I have been working, for some time, on a number of programs. I've seen what is available here, and much of it - while a fun waste of time - doesn't suit my personal whims. As a result, I have several projects and have decided to ask for my shipmates' opinions on which ones to finish first.
To keep this short, I won't go through all of them - but what sort of functions would provide you with some sort of ease, living here? Something to help with measurements, time, ratios - anything, really.
[As he speaks, there are screens - that's the best descriptor for them, really - that pop up in the view of the communicator. They're shaped almost like bubbles, and they float similarly - but a pale-skinned hand reaches forward once to adjust the size of one, so they're not quite so flimsy. The adjusted one shows a number of designs on its screen, some that look like clocks, others that look like measuring spoons, still more that have designs that are difficult to pinpoint from their view.]
I don't have the materials I'm used to having, but even so, this is a challenge I find comfortable.
