IC Inbox for the Wake

Greetings. You've reached Clu's comm. I'm not available to answer at the moment so please leave a message in the inbox, and I'll get back to you. Thanks.

I can do that;
I don't mind the puns.

And yeah, I have a fairly good idea who they might be, but keeping their secret is important to them, and I can respect that.

[Being a good hacker was as much about knowing when to not go digging for information as when to do so.]

I wonder if speaking to his non superhero face would end the puns. Huh.

Silly but understandable.

Most likely;
if he kept up the puns without the mask, everyone would know who he was right away.

And I find that that's true for a lot of things in Nautilus.

I suppose. I still hardly understand the need for it.

Neither do I,
but that's true of a lot of things Users do. I guess they just like being mysterious.

Haha! You are far to kind, Clu. You say 'mysterious', where as I would say 'imbecilic'

But I shall leave it to them. And begin poking about the cameras. I've suddenly an idea from DiVinci that may have merit.

They're far from that if they are who I think they are. Besides,
it would hardly be the strangest quirk someone in Nautilus has ever had.

Oh? What sort of idea?

Spiral helicopters!

I'm afraid I'm not familiar with those. I mean, I know what helicopters are, but what are 'spiral' ones?

Well. Ah. Hmm. Perhaps it would be far easier to show you?

Alright. Do you have an image file you could send? Or did you just want to switch to video or even meet in person?

Mmm give me a moment and I should be able to create a file.

Alright,
I'll wait then.

This lovely contraption! Accept File?

[File is accepted, and...]

Ooh, interesting! It it meant to be large enough to have a pilot? The diagram doesn't give any indication of scale.

Oh, they would be far smaller than that. Perhaps nothing more than an inch or two tall.

Ah I see.
We might need to add some sort of stabilizer to it as it doesn't look as though there's any method to alter course or keep the craft steady in a crosswind.

There is the beauty of that design. If we make them smaller, they would be well balanced on their own. Especially with a rounded base for the camera.

That could work, yeah. Though we'd have to be careful about the weight distribution; it'd be difficult to steer if it's not balanced properly.

I believe having the bottom rounded and weight should solve that fairly easily!

And any other problems we can work out during beta-testing.

beta testing???

[Do you really think Four has ever beta-tested anything?!?]

Yes, beta testing. I try to beta everything like this before I run it.

[Maybe Four doesn't, but Clu does.]

It will work, no worries! And if it explodes we can just build a new one.

[Nooo that is boring 8D]

And if it explodes too near us? Taking a little time to test now could save a lot of potential time spent on healing and repairs.

[But less painful than potentially losing an eye or a couple fingers.]
