hello!
ta333mou.id
hey, G!
can i call you that? for simplicity?
also, wow, you picked up fast
yeah, that's fine
get used to it, i always have spare processing power
you've never called me before. is it important?
yeah, pretty important...
and exciting!!!
alright, alright, spit it out!
my professor is done grading exams, which means they can reach out to you soon!
they just have to finalize grades for the semester, and then they have free time!
that's amazing!
not to be impatient, but... is there an ETAACRONYM EXPANDED FOR TRANSLATION: ESTIMATED TIME OF ACCOMPLISHMENT?
i knew you'd ask, so yes, i requested one
[UNRECOGNIZED TIME FORMAT]ESTIMATION: ONE WEEK
give or take
perfect! thank you so much!
of course!
this next bit is... not so exciting, though
what? bad news?
yeah, in a sense...
i've been meaning to do a device detox for some time
overexposure to electronics has some uncomfortable short-term effects on my kind, and i can feel them starting to creep up
you'd think our engineers would figure out some way to eliminate or at least reduce those effects, but they don't care enough for that, i guess... none of the effects are long-term, so...
no, that's... understandable. my people's technology has the same kind of effect on them, but they have more important things to worry about, apparently.
in fact, many of the effects their tech has on them is permanent, but they're all too reliant on the stuff to detox like you.
so it's good that that's even an opportunity for you
yeesh... that sounds pretty bleak, yeah...
i'll miss you, of course, but i'd rather miss you than have you risking your health to talk to me. i'll cease communication until you reinitiate. again... ETAACRONYM EXPANDED?
hmm... let's say... [UNRECOGNIZED TIME FORMAT]ESTIMATION: TWO WEEKS?
that should give you time to back-and-forth with my professor, hopefully figure out how to upgrade your setup, right?
well... given how long it took me to connect to the network consistently in the first place, i'm expecting it to take much longer than that.
like i said, though, i always have processing power free.
...just take your time. i'll welcome your return whether it's in two weeksCONVERSION ATTEMPTED. ESTIMATED ACCURACY: 83.12% or two monthsCONVERSION ATTEMPTED. ESTIMATED ACCURACY: 87.49%.
you're sweet
alright, i'll see you when i see you, then!
"see" might be a bit of an overstatement...
who knows!
you're capable of a lot, i don't doubt you can pull it off
alright, anyway... i should get going to sleep. bye, G!
bye...!
