TG: this is going to be fucking stupid isnt it
[want to get in touch with Dave? you can leave a TEXT, VOICE, or VIDEO message — or alternatively, he shouldn't be too hard to track down in person. it's a hunk of junk space house. in space. he's around here somewhere.]
no subject
Yeah! Did you find someone who can pilot? It's been pretty hectic lately, so I haven't wanted to ask...
no subject
oh man
you know how like you sometimes find a bottle of aj in your closet
wait are androids capable of drinking apple juice
well
just say youve got your favorite drink on lock here
and then your best bro messages you and hes like
what if howie mandel just took this giant blue monster piss in your aj dude
and youre trying to block that bullshit out so you can quench your thirst
but stupid fuckin monster howie mandels just this stupid fuckin monster intrusive thought harshing your beverage enjoyment
thats a buzzkill
anyway im the pilot in this hypothetical field trip
no subject
[Yeaaah, he's not sure if he got any of that. But he at least understands that a buzzkill is bad.]
Okay...
I thought you weren't capable of piloting? Flying yourself and piloting a ship aren't exactly the same thing.
no subject
thats true
but i did help fly a moon once
so thats probably close enough
you kinda sound like youre boned up on the piloting thing though
are you
maybe you should give lessons
no subject
What do you mean you flew a moon? I thought we were being serious here!
no subject
i am being serious
both me and my sister took part in moon lugging
i mean
that doesnt seem less plausible to me than like
getting mass teleported to a space station
no subject
Sooo... I think it's a little more plausible than "moon lugging".
no subject
both seem about on the same level to "completely fucking reasonable" to me
[that's because you actually ARE a ghost, Dave.]
so wait
you have like a bunch of backup bodies on standby
no subject
Anyway, I didn't say anything about "ghost projections". I was thinking this could be a temporary body. There's no real way for me to tell, but it's different for you humans.
no subject
and are you saying that this might not be my real body
actually
yeah ok
i could buy that
no subject
What makes you think this isn't your real body?
no subject
theres lots of reasons
most of them involvin the fact that im used to dealing with lots of different versions of myself
also my "real" body
if were gonna put it that way
was kind of in the middle of a fight before i came here
[that is to say ... he did not win that fight.]
no subject
I thought you were human? Isn't there supposed to be only one "you"?
no subject
and nah dude theres like an endless number of versions of people
all across different timelines and shit
its not really anything like what youre describing though
cant exactly hop into a shiny new dave body when this ones used up
not usually anyway if the goin theory is that were all in different bodies here
but if you happen to be in the right corner of space it isnt unusual to run into them
no subject
no subject
no subject
no subject
but thats not really how timelines work
or i guess i should say thats not how time travel itself works
and fuckin unfortunately thats my area of expertise
i mean
i dont really mind talking about it if youre curious
just dont know how relevant it is here
no subject
Tell me everything you know. If time travel's really possible, it could come in handy...
no subject
a pretty basic ability for people predisposed to doin it
but i cant really say i recommend it
at least in my experience
turning around against something that usually only goes in one direction is dangerous
like trying to punch a freight train
its a really good way to get yourself killed
no subject
no subject
or born that way i guess
like
i dunno if this is the same thing so sorry if im blurting out something inexcusably offensive or something
but you said youre made to be curious right
like thats how you were built
its the same for time players
theyre built to be able to manipulate time
no subject
So even if I wanted to, I couldn't time travel myself? Because it's not in my functionality?
no subject
where im from absolutes dont mean jackshit
[he's a kid whose universal construct video game session was reset, meant to rewrite the traces of his very existence — and it had. he'd cheated and survived anyway.]
but i guess in your case itd just be harder to do without the proper software or whatever
compared to a guy whos got it installed from the start
no subject
I know you're speaking metaphorically, but what if I really could rewrite my data to include the necessary components to time travel? I mean, it's easy enough. I'd just need to know what to put there.
