The omni-tool.

Can anyone tell me more about it? The technology itself is similar to things I’ve seen and worked with before, but the overall capabilities and some of the technology used in its construction I’m not familiar with. I’ve been able to find out some on my own. The basics - a few more advanced things.

If I can figure out more about how it works, making repairs, upgrades or even basic modifications, there's a possibility I could find a way to make it more ‘user-friendly’ for some of you having trouble with it.

[Have a text file and not much more.]

[ You, Commander Shepard, are his new favorite person.

There's no response for a while, but when it does come-- ]

Thanks, man. This helps a lot.

Re: text.

[fightforthelost]

[Just what he needs, another fan.]

Spread it around. It's useful information.

[And Shep doesn't have the patience and time to send it to every newcomer.]

[nerdstomping]

[ Isaac's not exactly much of a people person anymore, but he'll share the wealth accordingly.]

I will. It might be helpful to some others as well.

[fightforthelost]

If you can figure out how to use an omni-tool, you can figure out pretty much anything you need around here since it's connected to the extranet.

[also surf for cat pictures and porn but whatever]

It's a great tool but I couldn't tell you anything technical about it. I know it does almost anything you want it to do.

[He'll make sure Tony sees this message though. The other Avenger would be all over this.]

Where are you from that you've worked with similar technology?

voice.

[nerdstomping]

It's an amazing tool. Having so many capabilities are your fingertips in such a compact form... it's- it's something.

[ But he pauses at the question, takes a moment to consider a simple answer. ]

I am - was - an engineer for Concordance Extraction Corporation, headquartered on Earth.

[starspangledspandex]

And I thought cell phones were something.

[It's more murmured to himself than to Isaac.]

Can't say I've heard of it. I'm not surprised. It seems like we're being pulled from different universes.

[He says it a bit hesitantly--such a thing shouldn't be possible but it apparently is.]

[nerdstomping]

[ He hears it, if just barely. And he manages a ghost of a smile to himself. ]

If you're talking cell phones, different universe and different centuries sounds more accurate.

[nerdstomping]

[ A video game. Seriously? ]

Sounds like you've asked around.

[electricslash]

aren't they already user friendly??

[ Genuine question, here. Zoe's lived with omni-tools all her life, and the idea that using them isn't second nature is totally foreign to her. ]

text.

[nerdstomping]

In theory. For someone like me who works with technology similar to this on a routine basis, it's second nature.

Other people? This is something they've probably only read about in stories or seen in movies.

[ He gets it. It's strange to him, knowing some people haven't worked with something like it before. ]

[electricslash]

oh. huh! that makes sense i guess.

it's pretty cool, huh? there are all sorts of mods that make em more powerful!

[nerdstomping]

I've seen technology like it before but it's definitely something.

Are you from here?

[tasteslikecoconut]

It's no Stark Phone.

[Sadly.]

[nerdstomping]

'Stark Phone'?

text.

[tasteslikecoconut]

Yeah. Phone I made. My stuff is good stuff. I want my stuff back. Had one with me but doesn't work here.

[nerdstomping]

Communications for my RIG don't work here either.

Figuring out if I can get it operational is on my to-do list.

It can be hard to get used to, since it can do...just about anything. But thankfully it's pretty intuitive and very easy to mod for whatever your specific needs are. I'd appreciate if it you could find a way to help out those still struggling.

Are you a tech or engineer?

video.

[nerdstomping]

It's different but useful. Shouldn't take long to figure out ways to modify it for anyone who might be having problems.

I'm a Systems Engineer. Or, I was.

[chose]

Systems? For a ship or station?

[nerdstomping]

I started with ships but lately, it's been a lot of both.
