[It's not often he shows himself on the network, and of open addresses such as this he's made none since his arrival. But here Cal is, looking to be in relatively good spirits.]

Jon, looks like the Agrii were on the same page as us.

[He shifts the camera towards a pile on the floor of the building he's in. A pile of parts. For a Replicator, if any of the external pieces are anything to judge by.

Beside them, his droid BD-1 beeps and circles it, one of his lenses flickering to life with blue light that plays over the pieces here and there.

Cal speaks off from the side before eventually flipping his communication device back towards himself.]

So, everyone? Looks like we got ourselves a Replicator, like the ones we had access to on Risa. Kind of a do-it-yourself job, but BeeDee's checking to see if everything's here. He did some preemptive scanning of the functioning ones, so hopefully that should help us figure out how to piece one together.

[Whether it works or not from there is another thing, but Cal's at least hopeful.]

Anyone up for a side project?

[ Now that’s a pleasant surprise. And this Archivist also looks equally surprised as, well. Pleased? Is that an expression he is familiar with?

Well. Maybe it’s rather a bit of cautious hopefulness. They could use one of these after all. ]

Unexpected, but I won’t complain.

Do you think you can put it together?

[out_of_order]

Hopefully. Shouldn't be impossible so long as we aren't missing any parts. It'll probably go a lot quicker with others helping, so guess I'll see if anyone else volunteers.

[beholding_archivist]

Unfortunately I can’t claim to be of much help with this. Though I recall talking to a few people that might be able to assist.

Where did you find this anyway?

[out_of_order]

[He nods.] I know at least a couple that know their way around machinery.

Oh, in the... I'm not sure if you saw when the Agrii had a box set up here? The box isn't here anymore so we can't make requests through it- but I guess this is their replacement.

[He smiles crookedly.]

Not without a catch, but it's better than nothing.

[beholding_archivist]

I don't remember having been anywhere with a... Box.

[ And he doesn't really forget stuff these days. Instead he gets random knowledge dumped into his head. If you ever want to hear the fascinating history of horseshoe pitching, he's your guy. ]

Well. If it's gone anyway, I assume we will have to wait and see how this replicator ends up working. I can bring by some tea later if you like.

[ Is he adopting Martin's antics now or simply trying to feel a little less useless? Maybe one is just leading to the other... At least he's not actively aware of it now. ]

[out_of_order]

It's one of the buildings in the city center square. The box was...I guess the Agrii's way of trying to fulfill requests from us, which is where the language barrier really came in.

[Cal shrugs, but he can only agree with Jon in that he hopes this works out better.]

Tea? Sure, I wouldn't mind that.

[A reminder to take a break would probably be a good thing.]

[beholding_archivist]

Then I will be leaving you to your work for now.

And good luck.

[out_of_order]

Thanks Jon.

[He gives something of a salute before tapping the tablet off.]
