Yes, but-- good god, how on earth did you insert it in your eye? That would be tricky enough surgery for someone else, never mind doing it on your own.
Well I already had most of the wiring and stuff set up inside? It was mostly, uhh...mostly just. Just reattaching some stuff after I, you know, yanked it all out.
[ But that part isn't important okay pay no mind so that ]
Look it's not...technically a lie. I'm just not expanding on the details. It's not exactly something I like to relive when I'm not being held at gunpoint and made to.
[No, she's just being menacing on purpose. She's tired and a little afraid and she misses her Robert, and this is how it comes out: by her menacing others.]
But fine. Tell me more about how it's built, if you're going to be stubborn.
[She says it sharply, but give her credit: once he starts explaining, she doesn't once interrupt to get in a snide comment. There are questions, but they aren't even arrogantly said-- just curious, clarifying things or getting a better grasp on certain aspects of it. She grasps it fairly insanely quickly for someone from 1909, but hey, she's not called a genius for nothing.]
That's fascinating. I can't imagine the level of technology your world must be at if you could manage all that.
[ It's actually pretty surprising that she catches on? or follows at least, for the most part. he's been having to explain electricity to some of the people here so this is refreshing. And so is not being interrupted! That doesn't happen very often either.
So it helps his mood greatly when Rosalind seems genuinely interested in what he has to say, lightening his mood. ]
Oh, trust me. It was way ahead of these backwater people. Think something closer to what our alien overlords have going on.
I don't know exactly what you mean about opening doors to other worlds, but we definitely had space travel. People do it for holidays and work all the time. I actually went to a different Eden for college before I wound up working on Helios--that's a space station, by the way.

Because mom, holy fuck, Rhys is suddenly 100% more interesting.]
How? With what? How on earth did you install it yourself-- what materials did you use?

That said her sudden keen interest has him leaning back a little in surprise as he runs a hand through his hair. ]
Parts of a busted space station...? Mostly. And the facility I managed to make it to had some supplies.
And fruit. Looootta fruit there.

Mirrors played a pretty big part in it.

Why on earth did you yank it out?

Oh, you know....t, technical difficulties.

[oh my god ros he's not being unreasonable here]
no subject
Wow, yeah I definitely want to tell you when you ask like that. Is that how you get people to do stuff for you back home?
[ ...until now anyway ]
no subject
[She says that with absolute certainty.]
And if they know what's good for them, people typically obey.
no subject
Well I am not from your world so that isn't going to work here. Maybe you should try a different approach.

Will you explain this piece of complex technology to me.
