Can we build a self driving car.

Please.

I need. Distraction.

@dawnlighthours

Building a self-driving car isn't easy. It's not as simple as just slapping parts together, Ms. Aurora. Do you know anyone with programming knowledge? I know the basics of HTML, but that won't make our car know how to move.

First of all, before we start the programming, we need to build the car itself. Definitely include a system for the passengers to override the code if it fails at all or in an emergency. I also suggest trying to build an electric car for this. No reason, but it fits the high-tech theme with it being self-driving.

...

What do you need distracting from? And why are you crying?

Ah, thank you very much, doctor. You've been incredibly accommodating, so if there's anything I can do for you, don't hesitate to ask.

IS THERE ANYONE YOU WOULD DIE FOR

Stanley or Xeno. Nobody else. Though I'd rather avoid dying if possible.

... :(

Okay, bye then.

Hey Corv? You in here?

Can you do me a huge favor?

@dawnlighthours

again?

...what part of you did you broke, or stab, or burned or whatever else that could happen in this colony?

Don't worry, I spent about two thousand years planning a mech suit. Dreaming about inventions is quite normal and possibly the best way to come up with new ideas.

This is brilliant. What materials did you have in mind? The obvious choice would be plastic, but depending on the size and structure of models, it may be too flimsy. We could use a metal of some type — that would be both sturdy and rather straightforward to melt down.

Plastics melt at much lower temperatures than metals, obviously, so that may prove to be an issue. It's something to think about. Of course, the materials could be interchangeable.

Doc Percy? I can see the light on under the door, I know you're awake. Do you have a minute? I need someone to talk to for a second-

@dawnlighthours

Yes, okay. Come on in. It's not as though I'm actually busy.

What do their hands feel like: soft, calloused, trembling?

Calloused, rough, cut and scarred, all from working on his projects. A little shakey, and occasionally twitching. Not majorly, though, just little jolts. The left hand feels like metal, of course, though it still shakes.

Is there a story they love sharing with others?

He loves talking about how he met Stan, and laughs every time. He thinks the whole situation was hilarious.

Who taught them what love is? Did it hurt?

Stanley, surprisingly. It wasn't on purpose. Watching him struggle to get his aim accurate while trying to push through his nicotine withdrawals (which he denied) made him upset, and seeing him accidentally fire a shot that grazed his own leg was the first time he felt something more than standard pity.

Right, okay. This is definitely not my forte, but I'm not about to just leave.

What do you need?

*Knocking on door*

Ms. Aurora? I was coming to ask if you wanted to help me with a prototype, but... why do I hear sobbing? Should I enter?

*The door cracks open for him to come in if he wants*

No, dummy. I'm putting you down. You need a proper surface under you or you're just going to be in more pain.

But here- I'll sit next to you.

Why in hell did I see you climbing and falling off a building earlier? Corvus, i watched you pass out walking to a bed the other day, and you thought you'd scale a castle?!?

( @drpercival )

ahhh, what won't you do for you loved one's? :∆

"Something audibly cracked inside of him" OWWW! ok... maybe not that. damn... i'm too old for this, what was I thinking??... I couldn't even climb the building in my childhood... my brother always made me win those races.... oghhh...

guess I broke my rib when I fell.... how troublesome, i only got well from illness...

An excellent point. I suggest doing that, yes. there will need to be a gap in it in order to attach the steering mechanism to the wheels and motor, but that shouldn't be too much of an issue.

Adjustments to seat position should be easy to deal with as well, as they don't necessarily need to be powered. We can simply use dials or levers to alter such things. Not the most convenient, but it is simple.

I hear your birthday was rather forgotten. Not that I can say anything, I didn't give you a present on the actual day. There should be a box outside your door.
