::001:: [Video » Console]
[The man in the video is blond and good looking, and thanks to an impromptu shopping trip with Akito he's dressed like a local already. As the video starts up he's muttering something about "backwater" before he settles down and addresses the network.]
Ah, hello. My name is Alistair Krei, though... I don't suppose that means much to most of you out there, does it?
[He frowns for a moment, then shakes his head]
Anyway, I'm looking for some information on the technology here. I had a tablet with me when I arrived, but I don't know enough about the consoles or the rest of the tech here to know if it's possible to interface with them successfully. That said, I'm sure someone's already looked into this--without me having to risk frying my own computer to test it. Anything about the consoles or the general level of technology, or the work being done on them, would be appreciated. For reference, I run a technology company back in San Fransokyo and my own degree is in computer engineering.
Thank you.
[He reaches over to switch off the feed, then pauses.]
Oh, and if anyone here knows how to make a latte, you might just be my new best friend.

I... was afraid of that, but I suppose it's not really a surprise. I knew someone had to have tried already.
Is it true the consoles melt?
no subject
Melting would imply a significant application of heat, which is not always the case. To the best of my knowledge, all known liquefaction processes have been initiated through external means of attempting to take apart the machines. It is said than any such interference will prove identical results.
[But that was moreso a matter of semantics. The short version? Yes.]
It is for this reason that even I have made no attempts to interface. The results, probability-wise, would...not be in my favor.

At the mention of interfacing, however, his brow furrows.]
"Even" you...? I'm sorry, can you repeat that part? What's this about interfacing?
[Are you saying what he thinks you're saying]
no subject
My apologize. Allow me to explain: my programing is normally highly compatible with most any purely non-living operating system, so long as there are minimal firewalls and basic enough encryptions to decode before I am able to access the core processor.
The unique nature of Keelai's biotechnical consoles make this infinitely more difficult, due to my current inability to predict and establish failsafes for any and all unknown catalysts in the process.
