Hello, Ethan.

I would like to ask for your opinion on something.

[syntech]

Alright, I'll bite. What's on your mind?

[beskarad]

The computer in my quarters is obsolete.

[To put it bluntly. As is the Mandalorian's, for that matter.]

Yours is a custom build, is it not?

[syntech]

[Boy howdy, doesn't he know how obsolete the computers are.]

It is, but it also came with me from home. I don't even know if this place is advanced enough to have half the components for something like a HUD, but what are you thinking of doing?

[beskarad]

To build a computer that is more suitable for my needs. At the very least, I would be satisfied with preparing an adapter for my scomp.

The output terminals on these machines are incompatible.

[syntech]

Normally, I'd say an adapter would be the easier option, but I've been having some trouble with that myself. Could be easier since yours is an actual input, though.

In either case, there's nothing very sophisticated that we have available. You'll need to get the others to wish some kind of computer store into existence, which I'm guessing is going to require a lot of schema so people aren't confused on what we need... or talk to Admin or Doll.

[Neither of these options is very... preferable.]

[beskarad]

I see. Then requesting their assistance may be the more expedient course of action.

I have spoken to the Administrator in the past. Not to Doll. What are they like?

[syntech]

At least as far as getting the components go. You might even be able to get them to give you a whole machine, but I'm not sure what kind of deal they'd want to make for that. There's no doubt it wouldn't be free.

Doll? I'm not sure. From what I've read of their interactions, they seem kind and helpful. Possibly a bit emotionally charged.

[beskarad]

[Interesting. Admin was not entirely transparent with IG-11 the last time they spoke - he wonders if perhaps Doll may be of more assistance to him.]

Understood. I will initiate contact with them. If their terms are reasonable, then an arrangement could be made in exchange for the needed parts and supplies.

[syntech]

That's the hope, anyway. If you need some assistance putting it together, that's another part of what I do, back home.

[beskarad]

That would be appreciated. If it would not compromise your arrangement.

[syntech]

It shouldn't be a problem. We're only working together with regards to the network. You wouldn't be the first of his supposed enemies I'm allied with, after all.

[beskarad]

[Now there's an interesting revelation.]

You are allied with the other RK800?

[Though Ethan could be referring to any of the island's other residents. After what happened with Grice and the Mandalorian, he wouldn't be surprised if Connor (the Connor IG-11 is more familiar with) had made several more enemies since then.]

[syntech]

[... He hadn't realised how many people don't look back on the entire network section to make presumptions. Welp.]

Yes. My alliance with -60 is the one that's not... particularly broadcast, so I would appreciate if that fact was kept between us, though.

[beskarad]

[Ah. Say no more, then.]

I understand.

[syntech]

Thank you. But just let me know if you need some assistance when you're done talking with them, and I'll be there when I can.

[beskarad]

Understood. Thank you for your support.
