Let's do this One Last Time [video]

[ninjavampire]

All right, people. I’m going through the archives of this place to convert all the parchment confetti into indexable data sheets.

You can thank me later for saving you all the headache.

[ The vibe of this is an 8 AM Stand-Up Meeting rather than a gathering of guardians. The video's pov is from his lab, which in addition to the completed gigacomputer, was beginning to have half-finished little magitech doohickeys scattered in sparse nooks of free space. The amount of spiderbots seems to have been left at one (1) so far.]

First item: Mission debriefs. If you've fought any dark forces recently and have extra concerning details to share, we should write it down instead of keeping it in our heads. 

Second: Current Projects. Anyone who's a friend to reindeer - you ought to talk to Phil and do him a solid for all the holiday prep. For the science nerds lurking around, I’d like to borrow your brains over here.

[ He'd normally have Lyla take care of this, but he's stuck with non-sentient computers. He hates it! ]

Last: Introductions for the new kids. And universe number, if your world has one of those - the chalkboard maps are getting digitized. I'll start.

My name is Miguel O'Hara, Spider-Man of Nueva York. No, they aren't vampire fangs. [ tired hand wave, as if recapping for the millionth time. ] I‘ve been mopping up messes in my neck of the multiverse until getting picked for fairy-tale duty with the rest of you.

Folks are welcome to take a look at my MR to use as a reference, if y'like. Holographic screens, voice commands, text-to-voice and vice versa, all built in—and it's always done fine with accents. My live-subtitlin' picked up yours just fine, even thought I didnae need it at the time.

[ She always has the auto-translate/live-subtitles running in her lenses just in case she misses something or her ears glitch out. ]

Plus the watches have their magical holograms for their screens and keyboards, so there's gotta be a magitech version to start building from. Definitely not gonnae fix everythin' for everyone, but it's better than nowt.

Nice. We know I can bridge the gap between your shit and mine, so we can probably get something working proper from that. Should save us a chunk of time, trying to faff around with what there's here. [That, or take just as long as they try and reconfigure to work with available tech, but at least Rowan'll get to play with something interesting for a bit.]

[ninjavampire]

Good suggestions, you two.

[ the ultra rare miguel compliment... ]

This is plenty to start with. I can swap notes on what I've learned about the magic here.

[rallieshearts]

That'd be good. What we really need is a technomancer or whatever who can close the gap proper, but unless someone comes forward we'll have to make do.[They've heard that there are some mages who can do that, but don't know much more than that, so they're sure there must be some other worlds with them in as well.]

[ninjavampire]

On the bright side, you'll get to add 'technomancer' to your business card after it's done.

[ you know he's in a good mood when there's an actual Quip. ]

[rallieshearts]

Hah! [There’s an amused snort of laughter; not the most dignified, but then Rowan isn’t the most dignified in general.]

We’ll see. Let’s get this shit up and running first.

[tr1xx]

I've actually had that on my business card ever since I topped out my technomancer PC in Oniether. [ aka a video game; she's probably joking, but it's hard to tell ] But we'll be way more qualified if we manage this.

I'll pull the software and hardware information for my MR. Most 'a the hardware's implanted in my skull but I got blueprints and my hearin' aids have a built-in connection. Between all that, your trick, and big-man's experience workin' with the magic so far, we'll get it sorted.

[rallieshearts]

[From context, Rowan's going to guess that Oniether is a game of some sort, but it doesn't sound familiar to them. Not that they play a lot, but they're aware of enough through cultural osmosis.]

Probably can't do nothing about hardware myself in any case, but I wonder if we can do something with the software to make transfers easier in general. That's next problem, though, making sure everyone can get into shit's more important.
