Popular Science | Thursday, 3rd period

Miguel eyed the students when they showed up. Okay, they hadn't all done terribly last week. And he'd ended up with some sort-of-cute monkey-ponies to name after Iris. This week...they'd see.

“This week we’re doing something that’s mostly computer models,” he said, “so hopefully it won’t have quite as phenomenal a potential for disaster as genetics.” He spoke from experience. “Even if some of last week's were cool. This one’s from a movie, and we’re just going to watch the section where they build their code, not the whole thing.” He set it up and played the movie, his expression going from annoyed to confused to incredulous.

He flipped it off.

“Okay, that is not how computers work, even in this time.” He threw up his hands and used the Danger Shop console to call up a series of computer consoles, magazines, and dolls. “You want underwear on your head, you can call it up yourselves. The consoles are set up to work with the same sort of language as this room, so at least you won't have to program from scratch. Go for it; try to get a functional human - or heck, even an automaton - from those directions."

Well. And there it was. In just one clip, everything Astrid ever needed to know about why she never had a television growing up, and that might have been a good call on Ingrid's part for a change.

Although she did find the absurdity of it a little hilarious, not that she'd admit it, but the few chuckles that slipped out of her might have made the denial a little bit harder to pull off.

"This is really weird," Astrid said after a long moment of considering the consoles and the assignment and just....everything. "I don't know if I'm really comfortable playing God. Not even fake-God...."

Potentially winding up doing what they'd done to the monkey-ponies last week to people was apparently a limit for her. Plus, she was still felt pretty weird about saving (well, the potential of not being able to save) fake people yesterday, too.

"I'm not very mechanically inclined, either," said Astrid, but it was still a better option than people, she supposed, and she shrugged. "But I can try, I guess,"
