video; @nines - 7/19 & UPDATED 7/20

[twoaffirmations]

This is 9S.

[The video feed starts, showing a familiar looking android in a very unfamiliar location. It's the hangar bay, with two ships seated behind him. He's smiling brighter than he has in awhile, obviously feeling pretty good about himself after such a major breakthrough.]

As of last night, Haruto and I have unlocked the hangar doors. There's two large ships that look usable, but they need a command code in order to even get the doors open.

There's also four of these vehicles...? [9S points the camera at a set of rovers, and then pans over to show off the surface probes.] And a dozen of these weird things.

[Sorry, he really has no idea what they're called. He's not an astronaut.]

Anyway, it shouldn't take long to break the code for the ships, but I'm betting everything else needs a code too. They sure had this place locked up tight.... It's probably for the best if we keep all the equipment in the hanger bay for now. I don't think we'll be getting any replacement parts.

[A day passes, and there's another post by 9S on the network.]

This is 9S again.

I've cracked the first command code for one of the ships. It took longer than I expected, so any help is appreciated. There's still a long way to go.

[Then, a bit more off the cuff.] Um... We also might want to figure out if anyone can even fly these things? Yeeaah...

[He won't mention the voice he swears he heard after unlocking the ship. A woman's voice chiding him, "Do you even know how to fly these things?"]

[ ooc: I won't be making a log for the unlocking specifically, but this post can be used to have characters offer help and segue into action (or simply do it off screen). Mods said it will take 10 days for the codes on the ship and crawlers to all be unlocked. Feel free to threadjack, etc. ]

I wish I knew. I need another command code to turn it on. What a pain...

There's a few things I need to look for in the library once you have it open.

[onlydoubts]

Damn, that figures. It makes sense that they'd secure them, but still.

[ he's gotta admit, he's a little disappointed but they're getting there - just a bit more waiting. speaking of which... ]

If you want, I can have a look for them and let you know if we find them. When we get it open, I mean.

[twoaffirmations]

I can't say that I blame them, but it makes more work for me.

[There's a moments delay before 9S comes back with a list.]

I'm looking for books on human anatomy, human medical technology, treatment of common diseases and aliments, human history and culture, anything regarding known planets in this solar system, space travel, hydroponics, and any manuals you can find regarding machinery on the ship.

[onlydoubts]

[ Bodhi blinks, when 9S gives him the list and reads it through. then a second time. right, this might be a little more difficult than he thought. ]

The library would be a good a place as any, to find information on the subjects. A book on the ship's machinery and the solar system we're in are already things I'm hoping to find. As for the rest, I'll see what I can do.

[twoaffirmations]

[Bodhi has no one to blame for this but himself, okay. At least 9S genuinely appreciates the help. He has a lot of ground to cover over the next few days, so he won't be able to look for himself any time soon.]

Thank you. I'll be sure to keep you updated on progress in the hangar as well.
