"You've reached the comms device of Megaman.EXE. I'm not available at the moment, so please leave a message and I will respond as soon as I am able! Thank you!"
[Thankfully Hiro tosses out that shiny new bit of info before Megaman can start wallowing in depressing thoughts, and he just lights right back up. Technokinesis? Really? That's...that's...]
That's so cool! [And there goes all attempts to pretend he's not looking away from Hiro. He's gleefully scanning the edges of the "screen" now, trying to see if he can spot anything to examine.] It must be really useful when you're working! Have you always had it? What can you do? Is there a size limit or a...a materials requirement or--
[Hiro, meet Tiny Science Child. He has a lot of questions for you.]
[ He was mostly just interested in the logistics of it - he'll be the first to insist that true AI are people too, after all. Guess he should have sussed out the programmer part without asking, but there's a lot he doesn't know about navis in general. He opens his mouth to ask a follow-up question - right when Megaman gets all nerdy. Well. That's okay. He can come back to the dad subject later after all. For now, it's nerd time. ]
I know, right? I got about a fifteen foot radius I think. Can't really lift anything over like fifty pounds, but if it's under that? Pretty much anything I want. Guess I got lucky when they ported me in, huh?
[ He turns the comm slowly with his powers to let Megaman get a better view of the room. The room is full - utterly full, from the floor to the ceiling - with equipment and components. To some people, it probably just looks like a floating minefield, but for anyone with a mind for science and organization, they'd be able to see the patterns immediately. That corner houses the piece of a 3-D printer that Hiro's revamping. And that corner has tools all laid out vertically so he can see them all at once. It's a 3-D workspace that uses all of the space in the room, not just his desk or the floor. ]
[And it's a system that's incredibly familiar to Megaman, and possibly most other navis as well. Being able to utilize a computer or other storage medium to its maximum potential often means using and organizing the available space as efficiently as possible. It's not exactly the same, to be sure, but it's close enough that he can see the general patterns even without much knowledge of engineering to go by.]
Really lucky! So much better than just getting stuck in a body. [A beat.] Um, no offense.
[It's still a really weird experience, even after all the time he's had to acclimate. He doesn't like that his memory doesn't work quite the way he's used to...and he really doesn't like that "Hub's" memories keep getting called up when he doesn't want them to be. Stupid human sense memories and their stupid automatic triggering.]
[He actually has to think about this for a moment. Everything's pretty strange for him, still, even with Hub's "previous experience" helping to smooth things out. Picking just one thing to call the strangest?]
Honestly? Just being out there. [He gestures at the "screen."] I've seen the real world my whole life, and I could kind of interact with it, if I plugged into the right tech. But actually being there, with no screen between me and it? It's pretty weird. Everything's more intense than in the cyber world. Louder, more crowded, input to process constantly.
...I used to wonder what it would be like, y'know? To be where my family was. It's a lot different from what I imagined.

I am sorry for my slow

What's been the strangest thing so far?
