[CONSOLE] OPEN; audio; not at the Hotel

I'm out at the markets for a bit. Anything you need?

[In fact, she did. However, the seemingly personal nature of such a request--a choice of language that suggested the you maybe have been singular--gave her momentary pause before answering.]

Was your question meant to be delivered to the general public?

It was directed to a specific person.

[But it was meant to be delivered to the general public, yes.]

If you've a request, however, I would be happy to deliver them to you.

[An accident, then. Though, since he was making the offer....]

Are you familiar with the polymer benzotriazole?

I am not, unfortunately; but it sounds like something restricted to laboratories. What is it?

[He doesn't recall the kedan being familiar with the finer nuances of chemistry or synthesising materials enough for them to be commonplace. Not that he recognises this one offhand, but the word does sound like something created out of a lab. Of course, it could also be Aya's word for some perfectly natural fabric.]

[He was not entirely wrong. On either count.]

It is an active ingredient most commonly found in products meant to minimize the oxidation of most base metals. [A momentary silence, to allow her explanation to sink in. Then, from the knowledge of experience, she simplified:] It helps to prevent rust.

Ah, then I am indeed familiar with it, if not its chemical nature. What manner of rust prevention do you need? The kedan make some types of varnishes which are quite effective.

Preferably, any such brands that are effective against sea water.

My scanners have detected a noticeable increase in concentration of such residual compounds floating in the air as of late. I wish to take the necessary precautions before it becomes a greater concern.

I know just the one. It's made in Water Sector and lacks in fragrance. How much do you require?

Fragrance is not a concern, as I lack ole factory senses that would detect such odors in the same manner as beings such as yourself.

And a single container should suffice. I believe it is commonly sold in liter quantities?

I believe so. Where should I bring it?

[Ah, one of the rare downfalls of not having a permanent place of residency.]

Stark Industries should be sufficient.

If I am not currently available, then it may be left with the receptionist at the lobby as a package to be delivered to my...maintenance room.

[In other words, the special room set aside for her to oversee her own repairs. There was no better way of describing what it was.]
