Dustin's eyebrows steadily rise. It's helpful to know that the whole Temba and Sh'ka map system was apparently installed by someone who wasn't even from this planet - interesting in its own right - but his attention is stolen by Lauri-Ell's talk about the replicator again. He assumed they were just for food. He didn't even realize he could reprogram them. The devices on the spaceships have been totally inscrutable, even on the level of blindly breaking them down for parts; it's led Dustin to believe that the knowledge is, like many things the Agrii don't want them to know about without their direct meddling, locked behind a data point.

Naturally, he's missing the mark here.

"...Lauri-Ell," Dustin starts, brazenly ignoring the fact that Lauri-Ell has not formally introduced herself to him, "do you have an Expertise?"
