You're always welcome! And I can't promise any real skill, Joran was a few lifetimes ago. I'm still not quite as dexterous as he was.

[bythewaves]

I'm sure you'll do fine. [ Maglor smiles ] Besides, not knowing the instrument, nor the style, I have no real way of knowing, do I?

[musicalhost]

You know the piano at least, I'm sure. There's not to large a difference.

[bythewaves]

I do - although I will have to take your word for that! But we can do that the next time we take to the stars, as I do not wish to interrupt your shopping, either!

[musicalhost]

I'm mostly just finding clothes, honestly. I'm used to going without a lot since I joined Starfleet, even more since I was Joined. Too much chance of moving around and transfers.

[bythewaves]

That would make taking large things difficult. [ Maglor nods ] Do you make your own clothes as well?

[musicalhost]

Make them, no. Goodness no! On Deep Space Nine, there's a tailor but Garak isn't the only way to get new clothes. We can use replicators to make uniforms or clothing.

[bythewaves]

Replicators... I believe Dr Crusher mentioned those. They sound a most fascinating instrument. Are they capable of replicating anything, then?

[musicalhost]

Just about. You can't replicate poisons, for example. Or, most Starfleet vessel replicators don't allow for it. And if it's too complex, on a molecular level, they can't do that.

[Ezri, you're probably babbling a whole other language to him...]

[bythewaves]

As a safety feature, you mean? Does that apply to weapons, too? And what are molecules?

[musicalhost]

Basically, yeah. And they can do weapons. It gets logged in the system, especially regarding some types of weapons, but it's handled on a case-to-case basis sometimes.

[She really has to give some thought on how to explain molecules. Thank goodness for a couple lives as scientists. Actually... that doesn't help too much.] Gosh, most of my explanations are more scientific than anything.

[bythewaves]

That is an interesting distinction, to ban poisons but not weapons, or well. Not all weapons.

[ He laughs softly ]

Sorry - but I fear my folk were only just beginning the fine details of such things before we slipped into war. You'll have to keep it simple.

[musicalhost]

Some people collect weapons, I haven't really heard of anyone collecting poison. And Starfleet does need weaponry at times, we don't need poison.

[Give her another moment before she tries explaining it as simply as she can. Because the mun is dumb.]

[bythewaves]

Wouldn't a replication of a weapon not be as valuable as the real thing, in that case?

[musicalhost]

You would think but having an original, from the planet it was built on, make my hand, with original material, people will pay a lot for them over a replicated version.

[And some weapons just aren't made anymore so there's no other way to collect one.]

[bythewaves]

It just seems odd to have the ability to make replicas so easily, I suppose. Are they so easy to tell apart from the originals?

[musicalhost]

Welcome to the twenty-fourth century? [Amused smile.] Usually though, atomic decay, I suppose. Model numbers, age in general.

[bythewaves]

What is atomic decay? [ The other things make sense ] And I suppose the authentic ones would have a maker's mark?
