Now that I can have everyone's attention, a little good news.

Since Jules and I both needed the occasional break from the Bronze Age, I'm proud to announce Liminal Intranet is now up and running. Even I'm not good enough to hook it up to proper Internet, as that would involve punching dimensional holes that are probably beyond our reach, but it should at least be a boon to Project Infopool.

Servers are in my rooms, so they won't be going anywhere even if I do. You'll have to provide your own computers, though.

What of the 'power' you mentioned to me once some time ago? I have a glowing book, it has the Weh-feh, but it will lose its power and must be corded into... the wall?

...Still working on that part. Honestly, at this point I think the server room's holding up because I need and expect it to, but that doesn't help much otherwise.

When you do have power, let me know. If there is a Jaunt with computer things like the moving paintings, we should put them on your servants.

[ Servers, Altaïr... ]

Why is it called 'Infopool' if water is bad for computers?

Servers. 'Servants' is seriously weird territory from a 21st-century perspective.

'Pooling' as in gathering a bunch of stuff into one place.

The Workshop Library does most of that, but there is no place for moving paintings, or the 'web' communication—

[ Here he stops, because... Instant communication without the psychic Network. He never trusted the Network to keep his conversations truly private. ]

We can use your servers to communicate, yes?

Not yet. Getting them up and running was more important, but dedicated communication wouldn't be hard at this point. Already promised someone else I'd look into it.

[That won't really soothe Altair's privacy concerns, though. Sure, Claudia could shut that shit down easily, but that assumes she knows all the other hacker types in Liminal.]

I wish I could say I could get you supplies for that, but I have no idea what to look for. Anyway, many Travelers cannot use or Interface a computer. If you receive anything that can be made physical, please place a paper copy in the Workshop. I can help you bind it.

We could really use a computer lab, put it like that. And I'm game to teach people who don't know how, if they're interested in learning.

Don't worry about supplies, I can cover that.

Oh, hey! This means we can have multiple copies a' the photos I got ya! I'll make print copies of 'em fer y'all 'fore I load 'em on the intranet too!

[Along with the rest of his selfies. Don't mind him taking up an entire server with his photos.]

[ Having only seen previews of the photos on the tiny screen of his digital camera, he does not yet know or appreciate the value of viewing images in hi-res. This will soon change. ]

It will prevent wear on the photos, yes. They are for those who cannot or prefer not to see them in their original form.

[ There is a pause, during which he contemplates Kinji's childish insults during a serious discussion, but instead chooses the path of positive reinforcement. ]

You will soon see the fruits of our work that day. I have many papers to sort and bind. Would you like your name on the photos?

[Oh man, Altaïr, you have no idea. HD baby]

If I keep the originals on my phone, ain't nothin' gonna happen t'em! Cameras are mighty convenient like that, y'all can pull an image from it 's'many times as y'want an' ain't no loss a' quality!

~~[Percy was way more childish what are you talking about]~~

Well, I'm lookin' forward t'seein' the end results then! Y'all can label me on as many photos as y'all like!

[ His heart will break when he learns about SSD deterioration, but for now let him have the false belief that computers are immune to death. ]

I will be placing them among the Jaunt records when I am done.
