It would be useful to have a competent and trustworthy lookout in the area. I'd been keeping watch at night myself at the airfield, but more eyes couldn't hurt. Haven't really interacted with Kokichi or Jet, so can't shed any light on the bias against scientists. I hope he hasn't treated you poorly. But Martin I do know and he seems very trustworthy, I think he'd be another good ally to have. Maybe I'll even get to meet him in person one of these days. [ In person poetry readings would be very nice, but he hopes it wouldn't make Martin uncomfortable. ]

Forges may be tricky but I don't think impossible. Materials are the biggest hurdle at this point — the lack of them. And the lack of tools, as you said. My woodworking and carpentry skills are all but useless here. I can fish and do any heavy lifting, but anyone could do that...

[ He's maybe been feeling kind of useless in general, if he's honest. ]

Has anyone expressed any willingness to help with the menial tasks other than Zam? I don't think it would be asking too much for people to lend a hand if they're going to make use of our resources. That's the only way this kind of system is going to work in the long term.

This place has saddled me with physiological changes [ they feel more like weaknesses, but he's being diplomatic ] similar to those of humans, but yes. Definitely feeling it. Might be interfering with my systems. No one else seems affected, so it's probably nothing to worry about.

Nah, he mostly just doesn't talk to me. It's not a big deal. No one seems to be at anyone else's throats or anything. Martin seems nervous to me in general but I think he's a good guy.

I hope you get back soon after the storm clears.

Your skills will be ten billion percent useful once we get tools. But you know we could just Stone Age it for a hot minute. I did that before. We can make tools out of whatever we got. It makes everything slower and more of a pain but it's not impossible to make an axe out of stone and wood. Primitive humans did it. I've done it myself.

Not anyone could have built the weir. Not anyone could have helped how you've helped. Don't sell yourself short just because your shitty back home humans took you for granted.

We haven't really needed anyone to do much. Martin has offered though. Not sure about the others, but Randvi might know. Kokichi doesn't seem to want to work with anyone but he'll probably come around.

When you get back can I take a look? I'm not a doctor but I know a ton about human illnesses. But you're not human. I don't know your source code or how you're made but I'm really good with computers. And maybe you can help me understand it anyway. I have an Arduino — a little computer terminal. Maybe I can use that to tap in and see what's going on.

Only with your permission, of course. With a human we'd use medicine but with you, there must be a code or mechanical fix, right?
