Second Beat [Fleetwide Audio/Video]
Who: 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.

audio;
Hmph. As long as you don't break it.
[He has a hard time just handing it over and blindly trusting, unlike a certain brown-haired boy he traveled with. The communicator is all Dezel has if he wants to talk to someone who can't see or hear him. Otherwise, he has to have Sorey stand in, every time. And that's damned annoying.]
audio;
[What he says may not sound like much, to Dezel, but it's a pretty huge thing for Fox.]
If I somehow break it, I'll lend you my entire system until I can fix it. It's already connected to the network.
This kind of thing is what I do. And of course, you're more than welcome to be there while I do the work.
audio;
If this is what you do, then you really better not break it.
[His tone is so dry it might be a joke, or it might not be.]
audio;
[Dry is as dry does, Fox handles that well too. Somehow. Like really child how did you even...]
That said, it would probably be best to set up a time and place to meet, then. I'll work on the program portion in the interim.
audio;
I work at the bar at the late hours, but I'm free otherwise. [He doesn't need food or sleep-- he can go when he's needed.]
Re: audio;
Sometime in the mid-afternoon would probably be best. I shouldn't be so absorbed in my coding as to miss your presence, then.
[At least... he's honest...]
audio;
Where?
audio;
The Heron. I'm one of the communications officers.
audio;
[Wait, they should introduce themselves.]
I'm Dezel. I'm on the Huntress. [Not that he can be seen most of the time.]
audio;
Ethan. Nice to meet you, Dezel.
