[This might be the only time anyone will see Pidge looking so happy. And feeling the tiniest bit social. The latter of which is really only obvious because she actually made a post to the network in order to share some of her more interesting findings with the rest of the Fleet. There are practically stars in her eyes.

This may never happen again.

Pidge is basically giggling as she positions her comm somewhere it can get a good view of her and her pile of seeming-junk, then immediately hurries back over to join her pile. From here, it's very easy to see the little green mouse droid rolling around, attempting to nudge the junk into neater piles, and what looks like a floating green caterpillar with glowing cheeks coming over to bump gently against the side of Pidge's head. She doesn't seem to mind.]

Okay! So there is a lot of really cool stuff on this planet, and I'm pretty sure I can work with it all. Check this out-

[Still beaming, she crouches down by the pile and starts picking at some of the stuff she's found. She goes through them all methodically, picking one item up and raising it for the camera to see before giving a brief explanation of what it is and what she can use it for. She does this for a while, one by one, but eventually she stops when both the mouse droid and the caterpillar start nudging into her sides.]

Fine, I'll wrap it up. Just- If anyone has a tech project in mind, just let me know. I'm basically gonna be planetside for as long as we're here, I think. There's a lot of awesome potential around here!

Okay but not all mechanical materials are useful in an engine room. So while I get how they work, I don't think I'm automatically going to know what something is used for unless it happens to be an engine room part.

[Not that Freya's really tested this but that makes sense... doesn't it?]

I have built a hoverbike. The power source is the bitch but besides that it really isn't that hard.

From my experience, it seems like I've been filled in on a lot of the intricacies on the tech we've been running into here. [Pidge's lips purse slightly, thoughtfully.] Though maybe that's because I've been here for so long now...

In that case, maybe you could make one with some extra modifications. Stuff you've only found out here. Or maybe try building some other kind of vehicle, something with an onboard computer or something. [She shrugs a little.] Challenge yourself.

[luckyescape]

Cars have onboard computers now. It's weird.

BUT!

[Freya holds up a finger.]

I will do that. I haven't really tried to use it or anything anyway.

[pidge_out]

[Pidge's head tilts slightly to one side, curious.] That's weird?

[She's actually not sure she can remember if that's a newer development or not back on Earth.



Whatever.]

Well hey, let me know if you want any help.

[luckyescape]

Okay, it's not weird but there is a lot of technology that exists in my world and also doesn't exist at the same time. The theory and knowhow is there but we don't have suitable materials or power sources in order to implement the designs we have.

Self-driving cars, living in space, hover anything, etcetera.

[Freya shrugs.]

It's all possible and relatively easy designs. I knew that before I came here but it's weird seeing everything I knew to be true. Well, not just seeing it but knowing it, thanks to this weird chip thing. So it's a little bit of separating theory from fact and my own history. It'd honestly be easier if I knew more or less.

I figured what I do know was just the wrong amount of information, either way.

[She pauses.]

Ah. You probably didn't want to know everything that I was thinking but thank you for listening. It's kind of nice to be able to just talk about stuff and talk to someone who might understand what I mean. I confuse people . . . often.

[Freya flashes a bright smile.]

I will be happy to bug you, we should do a project together. Maybe something fun and silly.
