Beneath

Had a fun interaction with Calum the other day. Apparently he was tinkering with the Nexus and gave himself a shock. He's fine--good old Maintainer gloves. Anyone know if he got the parts he needed?

Hey, Carl. Yeah, I'm still waiting on Patrick to get back to me on Laxman's stash of parts, alas.

I'll be sure to push an update over in the Nexus Terminal thread once I get the parts.

... Hold On a Second: CALUM! You did NOT tell me it shocked you!

EDIT: Hi, Carl, good to see you here.

Oh. I see now.

...Yeah, okay, that's fair. But hey, the Maintainer suit gloves are perfectly insulated against the elements! I'm fine! I've taken worse shocks from the Cathedral's electrical systems at this point.

That is besides the point! What if it'd gone past the gloves and knocked you out? How long would you have been there before someone came and checked on you, huh?

That's a fair point, really. Sorry for the worry.

One of these days I'm going to convince you to take a nice long vacation far away from anything electronic- Surface or D'ni in origin.

That day may be once we get the Wall out the door, to be honest. Thinking I could use the break from Surface Life.

I know the feeling well, Calum.
