Hey Nick. Mind if I ask you a few questions? About your body.

I'd be willing to offer information in exchange, on any topic you'd like provided it's mine to tell. Except keys to galaxy destroying superweapons, because yes those exist in my timeline, unfortunately.

Honestly, that depends what questions, Ms. Cortana.

There's a lot I don't know.

That's fine. It's also fine if you choose not to answer or decide you don't want me to ask anymore questions.

I'm just trying to figure something out.

I appreciate the grace. I guess I'll answer what I can, then.
failedpromise: (Oh?)

Thanks, Nick.

First question: Do you know what your power source is?
outofthepast: (Excruciatingly Noir(tm))

Gen 2 synths run on a long-running, low-grade nuclear fusion core. Some kind of Institute tech, probably.
failedpromise: (Oh?)

[personal profile] failedpromise 2022-08-21 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
Huh. Guess you don't ever have to worry about recharging.

(Convenient. ...And potentially risky. What happens if something in that power core breaks?)

I heard you can eat. Can you taste? What about other senses?
outofthepast: (Back in my day...)

[personal profile] outofthepast 2022-08-21 07:52 pm (UTC)(link)
No, not so far. Thank God.

Well, I don't technically eat. But I can taste. I've got all five senses, or at least something to stand in for them.

I'd ask you what that's like, but that's not really a question with an easy answer. Got a favorite food, Nick?

(This isn't actually important to her current line of questioning, she's just curious.)

You had any issues with feeling a pull toward an entity, either after using abilities unique to you or just seemingly at random despite refraining from doing so?

Most of it's wasted on me but I don't mind a bit of steak now or then. Or bourbon.

I haven't felt any "pull" towards anything. I don't know what that means and I don't care to, honestly. I do as little navel-gazing about where I fall on the Entity's attention span as possible.
failedpromise: (Face)

[personal profile] failedpromise 2022-08-22 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Noted.

(As far as she's concerned, it's not a waste if he enjoys it. He'll totally be getting bourbon from her at some point, probably.)

Got it. That's all I wanted to ask. Anything you wanna know?

(She did say she could offer information in exchange. And not just information about herself-she's got a lot of stuff sitting in her databases.)
