{Cutting torch igniting.}

{Obstruction removed. Minor thermal shock damage to cutting torch B.}

{[Under a thin mist of evaporated hydrogen, your manipulator pulls the maintenance hatch free of its housing for the first time in uncounted millennia. The complex interior passageways of the TRANSCEIVER await. Under a standing objective from earlier on, your body makes its way among consoles, power conduits, cooling pipes, and machinery, all coated in hydrogen ice, some of which begins to evaporate at the heat of your presence. Clinking vibrations within your workings suggest minor thermal fracturing is continuing. After another hour of searching among time-worn but still-operational mechanisms, you find your way to the central chamber of the monolithic Singularitech system.

Beyond and above the thick walls of this geodesic cavern wait the vast petals of the antennae, but here, at the heart, is the incomprehensible cylinder that makes it all work, or should.

You retake direct control of the shared body from the search algorithm for this pivotal moment.]}

((....Let me know when we get back to our characters. This tech stuff is way outta my level))

[It will be obvious. You should be able to pass this within three updates, and I have enough free brain to make those updates over the next couple days.]

(I'm not sure what to do. But, bump.)

[Amperzand]

(Well, I did have the start of an update in progress, but my laptop crashed and has yet to let me do anything.)

[chaotic skies]

<<Ah, yeah that's really annoying when it happens. Hope your computer problems work themselves out.>>

[Amperzand]

{I ended up popping it open and disconnecting the battery, things seem to have resolved themselves after that.}

{Seems like me not giving you guys enough information to help you decide on what to do is an epidemic. I'll need to work on that.}

[Amperzand]

{Okay, full disclosure, the last couple weeks have not gone very well for a number of reasons. I'm not sure when I'll have the time to write something for this, but for once it's not just writer's block.}

[Gwolfski]

{Hope life gets better for you}

[Amperzand]

{It seems likely to. I'm not depressed or likely to suffer academic failure, but things are stressful and I no longer have free time.}

[TheBiggerFish]

((*hugs anyway*))

[Amperzand]

:V

{Well, one eight-page calculus project turned in, two speeches, some homework, and another project to go. This all isn't due for a little while though, so I can take a proper night's sleep and slack off briefly.}

[TheBiggerFish]

((Whew.))
