Dr. Xlookup:Hello, $PLAYERNAME. How are you today? Do you have °new data% for me?|How are you today?=2^I was actually hoping to ask about the mission again=4^_seenterminal_I found a weird structure in the forest, with an old terminal attached to it...=18^Goodbye=999
You:I'm fine, thanks. How are you doing today, Xee?
Dr. Xlookup:Oh, quite fine, thank you. Lots of sights to see, plenty of data to process. This mission is proving rather interesting.|Continue=1
You:I was actually hoping to ask about the mission again. Like...#      #What it actually is?
Dr. Xlookup:Ah, yes. I expected you'd want to review the topic. That's good scientific practice.
Dr. Xlookup:Unfortunately, I have no new information for you.#     #For now, we should proceed with the working hypothesis you formulated yesterday.
Dr. Xlookup:For now, I believe our she/her murderbot is looking for you. She was heading to the beach. Perhaps this will yield some new data?|Hm=1










Dr. Xlookup:An old terminal?|_!NOT!catsuit_Weird, right?=20^_catsuit_Continue=19
Dr. Xlookup:Yes, you mentioned. I hope your investigation goes well.|_!NOT!talkedterminal_Continue=1^_bunkeropen_Yes, about that...=40
Dr. Xlookup:Weird indeed. That definitely shouldn't be here. The island isn't supposed to have inhabitants, or any permanent structures other than this lab.#       #How old is the terminal?|Decades at least=21^Could be turn of the millenium=21^Hard to say, it's very weathered=21
Dr. Xlookup:Hmmm... I see. Let me think... yes, I believe I saw something in the >supply drop~ that might help us.|Please don't make me carry crates again=22^Oh?=24
You:Please. I've handled so much cargo today. I can't go back.
Dr. Xlookup:Not to worry! The good Lieutenant Commander already dropped it off when she came back from her perimeter patrol.|Oh so NOW she can carry stuff herself=24
Dr. Xlookup:We've been supplied with a brand new, highly experimental piece of technology that allows for near->universal interfacing~.##It should work with any piece of technology newer than about 1960. Utilikin have that skill, of course, and this will allow you to share in that.|That's amazing! How does it work?=25^Like sort of a multi-tool?=27
You:That's amazing! How does it work?
Dr. Xlookup:Wellll, the technology already existed. This is just a different form factor, designed to be >natural for human use.~##And a very good form factor it is.|Nice=29
You:Like sort of a multi-tool?
Dr. Xlookup:In a way, but the handling is far more comfortable and intuitive.
Dr. Xlookup:Here, let me show you.##(They reach into a nearby box, retrieving a small bundle. A plastic bag, by the looks of it.)|Unwrap it=30
Info:It smells like rubber and new graphics cards. You unfold it.#       #... it's a latex catsuit. It's about your size. The body is black, but it comes with integrated gloves and stockings, which are white and have >circuit board patterns~ printed on them. The zipper on the back is open a little, and you can see some >electrodes~ inside.|Uhm=31^Uh=31^What=31^Wow=31
Dr. Xlookup:Amazing, isn't it? We call it a     >Standardised Universal Interface Tool~.     First time I'm seeing one in person.##I'll help you get in. You'll have to take off your clothes, but I'll blur out the private parts in my vision. (Their tail wags excitedly.)|Iiii don't know about this=32^Ok sure I guess??=33
Dr. Xlookup:A little shyness is understandable. But in the spirit of scientific inquiry, I really must insist that you get in the S. U. I. T.##The literature assures me that most subjects find it surprisingly comfortable (p=0.95), and that putting it on is the only real bother (p=0.99).|Continue=31
You:(Xee unzips the suit and holds it up for you to step in. The process involves a lot of wiggling and tugging, but together you work it out. The material clings to your body, covering you from toe to neck in shiny black and white.)##(The electrodes are cold at first, but they quickly warm up. By the time Xee has closed and secured the zipper, you already can't feel them anymore.)
You:(It's... very tight. Very, very tight. Fortunately, there's some extra material in the crotch area, so at least that isn't just... >out.~)##(There's a brief tingle running up your arm from your fingertips. Your visor flashes a few times, then emits a satisfying bleep as the datagloves are recognised.)
Dr. Xlookup:Very good! From now on, you'll be able to perform all sorts of interactions, with all sorts of machines!##(But get their consent first.)|Cool=36
You:(You've already gotten used to the suit. It's not pinching you anywhere - the fit is perfectly right for your body type. As tight as it is, you think it's sort of flattering. And you're really eager to touch something with these gloves.)|Continue=1



You:Yes. I was able to unlock the door, even.
Dr. Xlookup:Yes... I noticed. You should meet us inside there.|Continue=1
