"Mostly it would involve giving you access to our stock of algorithmic weapons and baffles and certifying that you understand how they work. First thing should be a permanent ward to make you selectively untargetable, if you haven't already got one."

"Yeah I need that why would I have that that's not a thing where I'm from-" Headshake. "Combat algorithms. I don't expect it's harder than - kinetic weapon safety, back home, and I sat through that because my dad was like that."

"Yeah, the algorithm just needs a specified target. You feed the result of a scan to the weapon, and..." She makes a little popping motion with her hand. "Not complex."

"I will be diligent and conservative." He looks a bit down. "If anyone here is into coding projects, I think I'll enjoy contributing. Oh-" There's an algorithm to divide a sphere up into equal-ish triangles! For game graphics, he thinks. Could be good for the search project. He makes a note to self into his user docs before he forgets.

"-Sorry. Had a thought."

"It's fine, we're all nerds here. I know a couple people, depends on what you want to work on."

"I don't know what there is to work on. Feels like I'm spinning my wheels."

"What do you want to work on? We can probably direct you to someone in the general area if you can give us some direction."

"Medicine. Seeing if my world's computer science can contribute anything... Reading up on computer science things I don't know enough about. Hannah's tram project, mobility is super useful."

"There's a lot of information on the boards, you might try there."

"Not a bad plan, honestly. I need those wards to screen me from being targeted ASAP though. After breakfast?"
