[ 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.

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.

[ 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.
