It doesn't have to make sense, it's sci-fi
Who: Jenny (timedaughter) & River (retrorsum)
What: River attempts to come clean (maybe) while Jenny succeeds in being clever, whether or not any of it works out.
When: Continuing from this inbox thread.
Where: The stasis pods
Warning(s): n/a
[To any average person, the pile of wires and metal that Jenny tumbles onto the ground would look like nothing more than scrap. The fact that River can make such quick sense of the small start she's made of it is delightfully telling. It's not often than Jenny finds someone who can keep up with her.
She huffs good-naturedly.]
That's an understatement! I haven't even managed to tweak this bit [she points at a metal thingamabob that has a proper name, but not one Jenny knows or cares about; it's what it does that's important] to calibrate properly with bio-data rather than... well, it's meant to scan text, actually. It should work once I upload my DNA sequence, but I haven't been able to find a way to actually do that. Adding any data not already converted to text form is beyond the silly thing. [it's a receipt scanner, Jenny, of course that's all it can do] Which means converting a specific part of my DNA to GATC and scanning it all at once, then using the tracker. [she points to another bit, equally unimpressive] Which... yes, the parameters are way off, but it still needs to be calibrated.
