Introduction to Robotics, Friday

[not_a_whiner]

A classroom full of teenagers. That was going to be... something.

Kaidan stood at the front of the class, a datapad in his hand and his eyes trained on the students. "Good morning," he said, "And welcome to Introduction to Robotics. I'm Lieutenant Commander Kaidan Alenko of the Systems Alliance, I look forward to meeting the rest of you." He cleared his throat. "Over the past year, my... universe--" It was weird, okay? "--suffered under an attack that involved advanced robotic AIs - that's artificial intelligences - called the geth. Much has been said about the geth and what level of sentience they've got. It's something we'll be talking about later down the line."

He put the datapad down on the desk. "But not yet. I'm given to understand most folks here aren't from the same place, though," he said, "and as we're going to be talking about advanced technology, I'd like to know where your worlds are at, and what experience you might have had in dealing with robotics, virtual intelligences, things like that. So let's start off there."

Re: Check Your Schematics

Schematics such as these were something new for Thomasina, and so for several minutes she had more work to do orienting herself as to their purpose and vocabulary than she did actually deciphering their intentions. Still, though she had few analogues for what she was reading -- and had, as yet, been hesitant to open up her own (relatively cheap) laptop, it being a gift from Hannah, and thus hadn't yet gotten herself elbow-deep into hardware mechanics -- she thought she could begin to make sense of the blueprints.
