Cal frowned, something else clicking into place. "You can't..." He frowned, thinking about that a moment. Why was it bothering him? It made sense that she could only... "Oh god damn it, that's right, there wouldn't be projectors at the marina," he groaned, burying his face in his hands, elbows on his knees.

He sighed. "So... your whole existence... just here?" That struck him as... well, sad.

"Physically? Yes. Before I grew too much I could live inside a locomotive computer. But I can go wherever I want out there. I've flown with drones and looked out into space." she smiles, a little oblivious to her own melancholy.

"That sounds like there should be a 'but' in there somewhere," he said.

"It can be restrictive sometimes." she admits. "Online there is no one like me that I know of or that I can find and out here I'm limited to what I can experience on the grounds."

"Isn't there any way around that? I mean... you just need to be projected, right?"

by **ASHLIE** » Mon Jul 29, 2013 8:51 am

"There are very few hard-light projectors outside the school. None that are online and accessible at least."

by **Calvin Strong** » Tue Jul 30, 2013 12:05 am

"Well, can't you... I don't know, make something?" he asked.

by **ASHLIE** » Tue Jul 30, 2013 12:12 am

"I haven't looked into it. Until recently it did not bother me very much."

by **Calvin Strong** » Tue Jul 30, 2013 10:57 am

"Fair enough," he conceeded. "But now it does?" he asked, thinking on it. I wonder...

"I realized how far even Maldon could be to me when a friend was in the ICU there."

Cal frowned, thinking. Then he started calling up files on the Danger Room. He (naturally) didn't have any monitors, but Ashlie could probably catch what he was doing. "Do they have the Danger Room locked down while it's getting fixed?"

by **ASHLIE** » Tue Jul 30, 2013 9:24 pm

"For the most part. But all the doors in the building are electronic. Why do you ask?"

by **Calvin Strong** » Tue Jul 30, 2013 9:34 pm

"They're tearing out a lot of damaged hardware, right?"

by **ASHLIE** » Tue Jul 30, 2013 9:45 pm

"One section of the south wall, yes."

by **Calvin Strong** » Tue Jul 30, 2013 9:47 pm

"Which they don't really have any use for now, of course," Cal reasoned, pulling up a few schematics of the projectors. "Since, y'know, it's broken."

by **ASHLIE** » Tue Jul 30, 2013 9:52 pm

"What are you getting at?"

by **Calvin Strong** » Tue Jul 30, 2013 11:20 pm

"I'm getting at the fact that there's a problem, and the solution should be pretty easy." He waved his hand around the room. "Hell, show me something I have that I use that wasn't broken or spare parts at one point. Me included."

by **ASHLIE** » Tue Jul 30, 2013 11:42 pm

"The projector from that panel was stolen. And one projector would only cover a relatively small area regardless."

by **Calvin Strong** » Tue Jul 30, 2013 11:50 pm

"That wall was blasted, are you telling me that no other projectors were damaged? Damn." He thought a moment. "How many projectors do you need to project yourself? Do you have more than one going right now?"

by **ASHLIE** » Tue Jul 30, 2013 11:53 pm

"One is usually sufficient but it only covers part of this floor."

by **Calvin Strong** » Wed Jul 31, 2013 12:08 am

"Seriously? Didn't think they had that kind of range," he muttered. "That would hardly be necessary... hm. I... damn, I need to think about this."

by **ASHLIE** » Wed Jul 31, 2013 12:14 am

"Well there are 10 projectors total on this floor for redundancy. 6 would be sufficient for basic coverage. The range is about 10 meters unobstructed."

by **Calvin Strong** » Wed Jul 31, 2013 12:39 am

"Still more than enough. Hm. I'll... need to check the market. There's nothing that stops a projector from being self-moving, though, right? Just power constraints to worry bout.?"

by **ASHLIE** » Wed Jul 31, 2013 1:38 am

"Power is a concern and it might require adjustments for being moved while active."

by **Calvin Strong** » Wed Jul 31, 2013 2:26 am

"I... guess it would," he said, thinking. His eyes drifted to the power core he was still working on. "It's worth thinking about, at least..."

by **ASHLIE** » Wed Jul 31, 2013 2:45 am

"I had not considered that possibility. It could be workable."
