[ Emet-Selch is in his workshop. Slightly off-screen, one can see a mess of small, miscellaneous parts. He looks...mildly stressed. ]

This may seem an...odd question. Some of you come from worlds which use the binary system in your programming language, correct? How are those binary digits arranged? I'm lacking something fundamental that allows the data from this disc to be deciphered in a meaningful way.

[ He holds up the DVD that Denji had given him. It's something anyone from Earth or an Earth-adjacent world with the technology will recognise. ]

Any assistance, however small, would be appreciated.

[ Huh. Okay, he's a little impressed. He didn't think that was quite possible without aetherial manipulation. And to include a day-night cycle as well? It's like a more advanced version of Sharlayan's underground archive.

Seems that there are still some things even he can learn. ]

Hmm... Is it something which can be taught? If I can use them to enable the creation of precision tools then my work will be made much easier.

[Turo nodded-]

It is something I can teach, and once some basics are down I do not doubt for a moment you will be able to experiment with them as well. Find and create new sequences to work as you need them to, it will just take some time.

[emet_sulk]

[ A brisk nod. He can only imagine the sorts of things that he can create by making use of other forms or magic and technology. ]

Then if you could I would be very grateful. In exchange... Well, is there aught I can help with in return?

[fractales]

I would be more than happy to, and would enjoy seeing how you may use and change it the better you get. [All part of the 'fun' in sharing these types of things, and it could benefit this world in the long run.]

Another pair of eyes would be appreciated with some of my more... mechanical projects. Outside of the shields and more towards robotic natures to help make exploration of ruins safer.

[emet_sulk]

Oh yes, you made those little mechanical creatures, didn't you? I would be happy to help.

[ Having seen a myriad of different technologies, uses, and applications, he surely has something to offer in return.

Pensive, he glances down at the Forge outside his workspace window. ]

I suppose I ought to think about a manufacturing facility next...

[fractales]

I did, yes, and I am thinking of creating a few more along the same line of them with simply different abilities in mind. Any help would be appreciated as this world is the first I am making these attempts.

[Creating machines that even mimicked life, though no where near the extent of himself. Something more useful as a tool, but with some basic programming in case there was ever some emergency or other.

The runes as circuitry meant he could pack a little more without need of making them bigger- or heavier.]

Perhaps, my only worry falls on resources as it would take quite a bit of exploration to come up with enough; on land and sea.

[emet_sulk]

[ A deep sigh from him. He turns back to the guts of the television on his workbench and begins adjusting things. ]

I know. 'Tis the only reason I haven't attempted to expand yet. There is no reliable source of metal - mostly lumber and sand. It was a challenge already to build that one ship, nevermind finding enough to build two more for the armadas. I think we shall need to find ways to recycle discarded metal first.

[fractales]

That would likely be beneficial in multiple ways- to be rid of quite a bit of debris that are simply rotting away, and making good use of the salvage. Make some use out of shipwrecks once anything else possibly within accounted for.

[Recycling something that could supply a larger amount of it, outside of simply discarded items-]

The work goes on from there, of course.

[emet_sulk]

Hmm. You have a point. I imagine the leviathans will appreciate the lack of wreckage on their beaches as well.

[ What if he focuses on dismantling old ships rather than necessarily expanding his operation...? Hm! ]

Yes... Yes, I may just do that. [ A wry smile Turo's way. ] Thank you, you've been most helpful - in more ways than one.

[fractales]

They likely would- along with wildlife where those ships have brought more harm in their spots that good.

[Those mostly got wouldn't have anything useful, and certain others could be left where they were. Be easy enough to spot any wreckage that was doing active damage to the ecosystem- mostly.]

Of course, I am happy to be of help. It does do well to simply workshop ideas or merely thoughts with someone else, most of the time.
