[Originally, Rookie had planned on spending the morning outside today to enjoy the fresh air, but decided against it when recalling the piles of leaves that were still littering the castle's grounds. Having no real interest in wasting the duration of his afternoon with plucking foliage out of his armor - as that usually tended to be how his evenings were spent once he returned indoors - the ODST could instead be found sprawled out in a nice little corner of Paradisa's lobby with the journal purposely propped open over his helmet.

Luckily for those listening, however, it wasn't snoring that was being transmitted over the pages today.]

[Filtered to those in the UNSC - except the Meta.]

Hey. Been meaning to bring this up, but I have some technology for you guys to check out. Grabbed it back when we all got separated during the expedition. Not sure if any of you would actually be interested in it though, seeing as a lot of it's broken, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to mention.

[/Filter]

[Once that was said and done, Rookie gave a soft sigh before moving on to the next two filters. Since he may as well cover all his bases while he was doing the whole journal thing.]

[Ted]

Doing any better, civvy?

[/Filter]

[Kallen]

Hey... [Bit of an awkward pause, since he was still trying to settle on whether or not to go through with this.] You have a moment?

(ooc: Feel free to come across Rookie in the lobby, but other than that replies will be after I sleep. o/)

[Rook's calm, or at least appears as such. He's seen this before, so in someways he was expecting the light - although York's yell does cause his helmet to jerk up a little in surprise before he's tilting his head when hearing Delta.

Then he nods lightly, and pushes away from the wall to move closer.]

Yeah, I did. [Sounding a little amused.] Really think it'll work with more power, though?

Seemed an awful lot like something that was low on batteries, if you ask me. D, playback what I saw if you can.

Complying. [He uses the holotable to recreate with uncanny accuracy the visions as they appeared to York, albeit on a smaller scale.]

Was this the same as you saw, or was it different?

[Another short nod, before he's turning to look towards the holograms when hearing the question.]

No it... seems different somehow. [He pauses to tilt his head completely, trying to get a better angle in hopes of figuring out what exactly he was looking at.] Doesn't have the same feeling to it either.

[Which is no surprise, considering it had been trying to transmit York's conscious through music and visions. Not Rookie's.]

That doesn't surprise me. [He crosses his arms, having Delta freeze a particular frame of the hologram. It's a scene of some people gathered around and roasting...lizards? over a campfire.] This is--this is a memory of mine. Back when we went to that Jurassic Park place.

Seems really personalized. How do you think it's doing that?

[Rookie just perks up completely before glancing over.] So all these images are just memories?

[That's... interesting. Although he had wondered why he noticed something familiar about the holograms when he had activated it himself. Guess that makes sense now.

York simply gets another shrug, though, before he's leaning back.]

Sensor, maybe? One that taps into the last person who touches it somehow. [Pause.] Or it could be magic too, knowing the way stuff works around here.

I don't know if magic usually needs batteries.

[He taps the device curiously.]

And I'm not sure they're all memories, but that one is, at least. If it takes a quick mental scan or something, that could explain it.

Where in the ruins did you find this, anyway?

[There's a hint of a smile, given the way he expressively shifted that helmet.] Good point.

And I found it inside one of the residential rooms of that old castle, while we were exploring.

So it could be something common--or it could be unique to that old person's world. [That narrows it down.]

And we still don't really know if it has a purpose, or if it's decorational. I'd say the first order of business would be making it its own dedicated power supply.

[He sounds a little excited, since it seemed like fixing this thing wasn't going to be as much of a pain as he thought.]

Sounds simple enough. Shouldn't be too hard to find something that would work with it, right?

Right. All you really need is some kind of interface between the power source and the device. You find something the right size and strength, I'll have D whip something up for you.

[Rookie seemed a little distracted as he took a second to respond, since he was already trying to think of a variety of things that might be able to work.]

Got it. I'll see what I can come up with.

And if you get it working full time? I'd like to take another look.

[Anything that could project an impression of him like that was something he'd definitely like to take a look at.]

Sure thing. You'll be one of the first to know.

Appreciate it, Rookie.

[He spins a holographic representation of the device up on the table.]

And if anyone recognizes the type of design, well, we'll know that much more.
