Subj; Shinji.
It wasn’t that anyone wanted to go alone, it started on the quiet because of the you-know-what’s..Jet built Shinji’s body as an exact replica of mine, misfeatures and all, so she’d know how to do emergency repairs if I ever got badly hurt and we were far from qualified help. That close call with those mercenaries spooked her.
Everything else. Well, I disagreed with it but the others thought it was best to keep him from being overwhelmed by fans or well-wishers. We all knew he’d be a little bit sensitive and I’ve seen some of the stuff that’s getting bounced by our mail server, so I can kind of see their point. I’d rather have bounced people from the door than the mailbox. But those three can be so..... ugggghh..... sometimes, you know?
With so many people coming, and what happened, it’s moot now.
I’m going to make sure Anno’s signed up to a few choice mailing lists when this is done >!. I want put those two in a room and see what happens. It'll be so worth the effort to get them to meet. I suppose being an original character has it’s advantages; I've never had to worry about this. Shinji was sweet, he really doesn’t deserve all this.
It’s pretty creepy how close he actually is to me when you think about it. Stand us beside each other and you’d swear we were related, human-style. And I think you just gave me an idea. ^_^
If fuel’s an issue we have a lot. We buy ours in bulk for the stellarators so we’ve tons to spare and I can siphon off a bit without anyone noticing. If it’s compatible, we can fill your tanks. Least I can do for bringing me cake. I could get through enough to fill a Roadrunner with what’s been happening here. All the humans have the excuse of needing sleep to get away from it for a few hours.
We’ll talk later.
-Anika.
It did give me a nice idea for a scene. Anika explaining her origins to Shinji.... and how technically she's his sister. And then, she leaves him with a laptop, with all 26 episodes, and everyone's contact details.
And, on second thoughts, it's probably a good thing that Shinji tripped when he did. William Flint's intentionally flawed design worked....

Subject: RE: Shinji/Service/Penguins
Thanks a lot. Anika’s going to blow a gasket when she hears about this. She’s always hated that thermal issue. I took a look through it, and I can do the work myself here. I built Shinji’s body specifically to learn how Anika’s went together, so I could repair her if we got caught in an emergency.
Shinji is different. It’ll be good for him to get off Frigga at least, but it’ll have to wait though until he’s in better shape mentally. A full body swap would be his decision. Gina Rhodes just told me she’s on her way; she can talk to him about that.
Yayoi’s also coming, along with Marsden and Rei from Greenwood and two Cellos. Nené’s on her way in too. And a transport just made contact with a Steinway aboard. Along with virtual virtuoso Pen-Pen, that should make for an interesting quartet.
Send my thanks to Lebia, please. There’s nothing that can’t be improved by the addition of penguins.
I can come for servicing in two weeks, if that suits. When this is done I’m going to need a weekend away. And I’ve forwarded Roberta’s reports on to Ford; she’ll be in touch when she wakes up.
-Jet

Anika's more than earned enough XP to buy off the disadvantage. Shinji's player's rolling in roleplaying XP after that performance and has to spend them on something.....
