[It's around dusk, the faint glow of a lantern casting a wavering light about that reveals the Exo so he's more than just glowing eyes. He seems to give a dry look at the communicator before turning his head and then the feed itself outward towards the city and its few lit up buildings. ]

So. That direction would be where the tower is. Just trust me on this since there's no blinking light.

But if we look out this way-

[The feed shifts again, passing over sparse furnishings and old, rusted gears of the clock tower before looking out another gaping hole where there's fewer buildings grouped and lit, but the most noticeable thing is a light winking on and off in the darkened distance.]

I think someone's funnin' with us.

That's reassuring.

Well hey, I don't know how to build a robot or repair a space ship. Anyway, guess at the end of the day it depends on how many hands we want diving into this thing.

Mine are firmly staying out of it. But I believe I know two people that actually picked up Engineering.

...and how come you don't know how to repair a space ship? I- I really could have sworn that's something you have experience in, Cayde.

I thought you liked knowing things!

-hey, I'm better at shooting things. I can tinker a bit with machinery but I'm not like, specialized in the stuff. If I had serious issues with my sparrow or my jumpship, I'd bring it by Holliday and she'd take care of it.

I may like to know things, but that doesn't mean I have to actively destroy them. I'm fine with reading a report once someone actually competent took a look at it.

Who said anything about destroying it? Unless you mean to just rip into things.

-first to say not it! Bad enough having to write up reports on field missions and investigations back home. Reporting on taking apart alien hardware is not something I'll ever sign up for.

[beholding_archivist]

I didn't mean willingly destroy it. But that's the inevitable outcome if I were to try and figure the thing out.

That apply only to alien machinery or would it also work for those brain teaser puzzles made of metal?
