[ What don't they know about, he wonders, besides what's being discussed here? And even this, Jim doesn't plan to keep top secret. ]
They don't have access, [ he confirms. ] It's on a kind of frequency that their technology isn't even capable of detecting, much less logging on to. [ Of course, he'd have to somehow get ahold of admin powers to be able to tell if anyone's accessed it that shouldn't have. ] I've noticed you using encryptions, yeah.
[ It shouldn't be surprising that he can pick up on those things, given his cultural immersion in technology. Jim takes another drink. ]
The 'semblance of a plan' is what I'm working on, currently. I don't want to go out there and lay everything on the table and hope a chaotic discussion can magically net results, because that's not going to work. [ He leans forward, talking a bit with his hands, like he's making an invisible graph on the table. It's not important, he's just restless with work to do, despite his exhaustion. ] First thing that needs to happen is that I get back up there and continue to work to find all the damage and do repairs. Which means I need to find anyone who can do that without supervision, if there are any I don't already have on board. Simultaneously, I need to figure out who's a potential monitor-sitter, and who's a potential defense pilot. As in, people who don't need training or supervision.
Once we've got that, that'll be the baseline, and starting a dialogue of, 'Hey, this is the situation, if there's anyone who isn't going to be strictly needed in what's happening on planet would like to learn how to interact with these things and help up here' will be do-able with minimal panic impact.
