turnz 0ut my ganderbu1bz have bec0me w0rze at their j0b. i have t0 wear g1azzez n0w, and "try n0t t0 re1y 0n cameraz az much when i am next inzta11ed." d0n't give me z0 many cameraz then.
"= as if you are supposed to see anything with your normal eyes? from what i understand. looking around the helmsblock. isn't exactly useful, techs only go in there to do occasional things, there is barely anything to look at, while cameras are ship wide. ="
exact1y! but apparent1y i waz meant t0 be uzing them 0ccazi0na11y t0 make zure i can zti11 f0cuz them. give me m0re interezting thingz in the he1m t0 100k at then.
"= hm, okay. there'd need to be downtime for that though. the helms i worked with also harnessed their optic blasts at times of power exertion and it is definitely known nothing is being seen during that phase of things, and often afterwards until the nerves restore. tell them that, if you are at all allowed, also if they are using goggles on you (out-of-helm) then they can just put adjusted lenses in them if they have any sort of shipwide budget. ="
i am unf0rtunate1y being given g0gg1ez 0ut-0f-he1m. w0u1d have been g1azzez but they want t0 try m0nit0r any 0ptic b1aztz after the energy drink pzi0nicz incident. it zeemz t0 be that i am ztrugg1ing with zeeing thingz at a diztance. c10ze up iz fine. my 01d he1m did n0t have the capacity t0 pr0cezz 0ptic b1aztz but there iz a chance the new 0ne wi11.
"= hm, if you desire them. an upgrade in one sense is good, but it depends how they have developed it. if you are getting installed into something more invasive than prior (often the trick to gain 'more power', barely more, at the expense of health, uh, then sure it'd be newer, but i don't know if it would be an improvement for /you/. at least your sense of self is still intact, hm - still, they can make prescription goggles, have you had the troll in protective gear administer the eye test yet. ="
n0ted. thank y0u f0r the inzight. i d0 n0t have much kn0w1edge 0n the he1mz unti1 i am inzta11ed. c1arificati0n. theze g0gg1ez are prezcripti0n. i am juzt mad ab0ut having t0 wear them. and being b1amed f0r the necezzity. at 1eazt the tr011 in pr0tective gear waz kind ab0ut it. zhe zaid it waz a c0mm0n 0ccurrence. c1arificati0n. y0u did n0t zee me after my firzt inzta11ati0n. i did n0t have much zenze 0f ze1f then. perhapz that iz why i am different n0w. perhapz what i rebui1t iz n0t the zame me.
"= ah, hm. many trolls end up personifying the ship rather than their name, you know? either way, yes, super common, regardless. know that the deeper anything is installed, the harder it is to remove. so if it is an excessively intrusive helmsblock, it may mean the plan is for a very long stint, possibly without break like now. =" "= if i was you. make very good friends with the troll on duty for power testing, i uh, in my time on ships we passed up on many trolls who we knew did not want the eternal sort of situation. despite the numbers checking out well. at some point the higher bloods start breathing down the back and someone had to go in, though, so. ="
n0ted. thank y0u f0r the advice. i wi11 ta1k t0 the tr011z f0r p0wer tezting. i zti11 d0 n0t kn0w where i am 1ike1y t0 be reinzta11ed. i did perz0nify my firzt zhip. it waz....difficu1t when that zhip waz dec0mmizzi0ned and they m0ved me t0 my recent azzignment.
"= ah, hm... i suppose so, up to you, how you identify yourself though. ="
