That sounds really neat! I love hearing about the different technologies that all these worlds have, since where I'm from machina--machines, since no one here seems to call them "machina"--are banned. Or were banned, I guess. I don't think they're going to be going forward.

I can't wait to see what we do now that we're allowed to really get into it, you know? Maybe someday we'll have really convenient phones, too.

Hopefully you can get used to Aefenglom being on the old side, compared to where you are.
