"I don't think that would help."

"Why not?"

"I consider Fireheart a friend and have spared him in battle, but that doesn't fix the cause of the battle itself.  If a Clan shelters and feeds the cat who drove us out and killed my kits then it's just not right to let that stand, regardless of my opinion of individual ThunderClan cats."

"Is that in the warrior code or just a personal intuition?"

"'Defend your Clan, even with your life. You may have friendships with cats from other Clans, but your loyalty must remain to your Clan, as one day you may meet them in battle,'" she quotes.

"Well, sure, but that doesn't seem to call for not 'letting it stand' if they do something that isn't actually battling you."

"Well the word of a Clan leader is the warrior code, and Tallstar chose to lead us in battle.  And he was right to; what if some Clan decided to drive us out again because they thought we were too weak to retaliate against such a serious wrong?"

"I am not an expert on cat politics. This just sounds like a lot of violence it would be worth some creativity to find a way to avoid."

"Well, it's not my decision and even if it were it's not that I would want WindClan left out if every other Clan were getting one, but I just think that computers may be more likely to hurt than help in that regard."

"Well. I hope you're mistaken. I guess if it seems awful I can disable their communication ability."

". . . What else do they do?  I thought that was what they were for."

"They will teach you to read! They actually have a lot of abilities that are not easily describable using words you know, but I can show you stuff."

"Oh.  Well I foremost hope that they don't make things worse at all, and otherwise hope that if they're going to, you realize it before anything very awful happens."

"Extremely valid."

"Thank you."

Tallstar emerges from a patch of heather at the crest of a nearby ridge.  "Greetings, Cam.  Back so soon?"

"I'm here because I wanna give all the Clans a computer," He will repeat his explanation of what they do.

"I see.  You'll need to include the case; we don't have anywhere with enough coverage that it would stay dry on its own.  Does that mean we won't be able to use it while it's raining?"

"I can set it up so it'll be sheltered from rain when open as long as it's not too windy."

"What happens if it gets wet?"

"It might break, some of the components need to be dry at all times to keep working."

"Well, if we put down over there it should be at least mostly sheltered.  When the wind does blow through there it usually goes this way."  Tallstar positions his body to indicate the direction.

Cam will position the computer accordingly!

Tallstar investigates how to interact with it.  Morningflower sits down behind him and watches over his shoulder, her tail curling around over her toes.

Cam will walk cats through computing! The computers have messaging functions, and a way to locally save files and password-protect them in case you don't want other cats seeing what you wrote, and some basic games and drawing programs and stuff that would have been more effort to remove than include.
