[Hope's voice is clear and clipped.]

If you would like to leave a message, you may do so here. I can't promise to respond. I have many demands on my time, and this sort of thing is far down the list. Still, if you would like to, you may.

Sure thing.

[He'll just leave it on Hope's altar later.]

Okay, um, well... I was asking because copper's not usually used for computer chips and whatever since it's got some problems. Corrosion's a big one, and it's also really conductive, which is great for energy use and not overheating and whatever, but it makes controlling the information flow really hard.

[Which he'd guess would be a big problem for some sort of artificial intelligence or machine-based lifeform or such.]

So if it is copper, or mostly copper, or even something totally different that's also really conductive, you might be able to really screw them up by going the electricity route. Overload them enough and they may stop like... Being able to send signals to the right places, or something. But I'm not totally sure; I'm not an engineer or physicist or whatever, I just know some stuff about computers.

[He just want to provide any sort of help he can, so he might as well put that out there. And he knows Hope said he doesn't fight, but he figures if Hope thinks it's a valid idea he'll pass it along to those that do.]

Really? That's helpful to know.

[None of the gods are that knowledgeable about technology - which is why, when they make tech equipment for the people here, it tends to be full of glitter and cobwebs instead of what should actually be there. So that is, in fact, a useful piece of knowledge.]

I'll pass it on to the others. Maybe we will be able to use that, should they attack again.

[Every little bit helps.]

Thank you. I do appreciate it.

[That prompts a bright smile from Chris, super pleased to be able to have been--even only potentially--a help.]

Yeah, no problem, I just hope it's actually useful. We're all uh, kind of in this together, right?

[So working together just seems like the only reasonable thing to do, even if he didn't like several of the gods personally at this point.]

Yes, I believe we are. It's good to know that some of you truly want to help us.

In return for your kindness, I'll give you some of your supplies - more coffee beans, if you'd like.
