Broadcast: Yes
Action: SS Bishop
When: any time between 5/12 and NOW

[The video feed comes to life and a perhaps familiar face appears within. With a clearly practised hand, the device has been set up to give anyone watching a clear shot of Pidge's face, perfectly perched on the table and completely steady as a result. Pidge is the opposite of still or steady, though; there's constant movement, fidgeting, hands wringing together in anxiety, eyes darting every which way before finally settling on the camera.]

Okay, so-- I'm back here, I guess. In the Fleet. I don't know if the rest of my team is still here, but-- You guys know who you are, so if you're still here, just let me know. [There's a slight, thoughtful frown, and then a hand reaches up to quickly adjust Pidge's glasses before starting to make vague gestures.] I'm on the Bishop again, same room and everything. That should make finding me easier.

And to, well, everybody else- [Here Pidge straightens ever so slightly, and even offers a small, awkward smile.] Uh- Hi. I'm Pidge. What'd I miss?

...okay, I did say assistant, not genie. I can check out the shops down in the system, but that's about it. And you're definitely pitching in with the bill, dude.

[There is a slight chance he has not spent enough time around Lance and Keith to get let in on the open secret. That or he's just never caught it.]

Also, holodeck?

[pidge_out]

[Pidge snickers a little at that.] Yeah, I know. Though I don't have any money on me anymore, so we're probably just gonna have to get creative.

[Like find old machines somewhere and tear them apart. You know. Like ya do.]

Oh- Your world doesn't have those yet, I guess. But you know, an interactive holographic computer screen.

[wallcrawler]

[That sounds so cool and also expensive]

Yeah, that's... look if it helps, the most recent crazy commercial tech we've got is bluetooth. I don't even know where to start looking for your holo-screen thing, or how to build one- I don't think anyone does.

[Please don't summon Mysterio, please don't summon Mysterio, please don't summon Myste-]

I'll see what I can scrounge up, since buying it's probably out. Think you could make it simple? Like, you know, a list of parts? Simple parts, so I know what I'm looking for?

[He'd still keep an eye out for any kind of bargain, but, he kind of has a feeling he knows how this is going to play out.]

I've got a laptop you can borrow for now, though. And the coffee's a solid maybe.

[pidge_out]

Bluetooth would be good to have too. [She says it with just the tiniest bit of amusement. Even by her Earth standards, Bluetooth is not as recent or crazy as it might be for Peter.]

Yeah, I can break it down into a comprehensive list of components. I was just giving you a rundown of what I'm going to be working on. [Obviously. Silly Peter.]

For now, borrowed laptop works and so does anything that's got a lot of caffeine.

[wallcrawler]

Give me a few minutes and I can run it over. And hey, if your ship's got a coffee maker, I'll even toss in brewing a pot at no extra charge!

[Though really, it doesn't take long for him to correct his own little joke]

...okay, not that I'd be charging anyway, but flying a shuttle with that much hot coffee seems like asking for a trip to the burn ward.

[pidge_out]

[That earns Pete a little laugh.] Yeah, I'm pretty sure I built a coffee machine of some kind before. Unless that vanished when I did and needs to be rebuilt. Or unless I'm remembering that wrong.

[Both scenarios would suck. She hopes neither turns out to be true.]

Anyway, I'll be in my room, writing up lists for you. Thanks for volunteering to help me out.
