Basic is best- apparently they use some kind of machine otherwise, so things that anyone can do without too much specialization would be good. And if we want an intermediate video with specifics concerning the Agrii, we hit up someone with the medical data point.

[cactusy]

Wait, the data point gives people intel about the Agrii, not just the tech they're using?

[thepurpleone]

Not specifically, but like everything else, I think it's relational, so you wouldn't know you knew or that you wouldn't be able to understand it until the circumstances come up.

I was wanting to try to study their anatomy to determine if there's anything that directly responds to the nature of the given storms that makes it so debilitating and potentially deadly for them, but I couldn't make much out. I was meaning to ask someone in medical about it but I got sidetracked by all the technical things to figure out.

[cactusy]

I don't know any of the people in medical, on either ship. They any good?

[thepurpleone]

Tae is pretty good. I think...off the top of my head it's her and Billy that have the data point, although I think Tae is a medical practitioner from back home.

...that Wesker guy is supposedly a doctor too but eh.

[cactusy]

Yeah, the animosity between him and basically everyone else is palpable; what's going on there?

[thepurpleone]

Honestly? I have no idea. I think it's just a him thing. I can't even talk to him without things going like I've personally offended him somehow.

[cactusy]

[Shaw snorts. ]

Yeah, tell me about it. He got all pissy about people not doing enough to investigate the explosion, then got pissy all over again when I told him to come help us. Lose-lose situation.

[thepurpleone]

Wow. Yeah, I really cannot figure that guy out. Tony said it was better to keep my distance.

[cactusy]

I can't figure out Tony, either.

[thepurpleone]

No?

...I mean, I guess I can see why he'd be kind of hard to figure out. Sometimes I think I'm understanding him right and then he says something and I feel like I did something wrong. But...I think it's just how he says things?

[cactusy]

Everything he says is a performance. You familiar with the type?

[thepurpleone]

...

Mmmmaybe?

[cactusy]

[She pauses for a moment, considering what she's deduced about Donnie before responding. ]

I mean a particular kind of performance. Acting smarmy, jokey-charming, pretending not to take anything seriously.

[thepurpleone]

Ah, yeah. That...that is him to a tee. Frustrating a lot of the time.

[cactusy]

Mm.

Not impossible to work with, though, so there's that.

[She'll forgive a lot from someone she can work with.]

[thepurpleone]

Yeah, sometimes it's kind of like herding cats though when things go off on a tangent you weren't expecting, right?

[cactusy]

Exactly; it's a waste of time.

[thepurpleone]

Ohhhh thank goodness, I thought it was just me.

[cactusy]

No way; I bet even people who are just here to make friends think it's annoying.

[thepurpleone]

But not that annoying? I think it's like a defense mechanism sometimes. Sometimes he means well. He's just... I don't know. Different way of functioning.
