Please complete the below survey regarding possible enhancements to our communication devices and network system. I will be working with Aurora to make these upgrades.

I may or may not respond to comments. Thank you.

Edit: Additional features being considered based on feedback that were not in the poll include: (1) ease of use features for those less familiar with technology, (2) Wikipedia or an equivalent, (3) banning specific users from personal posts or communications.

Edit 2: Adding (4) storage and sharing for image, audio and video files, primarily for entertainment or educational purposes and (5) expansion of the library to include digital lending of those materials.

I see.

It doesn't sound like anything they asked you to do was inherently denigrating, which is really all I was hoping for.

[messenger]

Why would they ask me to do something denigrating?

[ he hasn't yet realized that these are dog tricks. could a dog dab? ]

[ornithologist]

You brought it up in the context of pets, so I assumed you realized...?

[messenger]

I don't believe that "dabbing" is a trick that pets can learn. Assuming they're quadrupedal.

[ and somehow it's the worse one. ]

Could a... dog balance a treat on its nose?

[ornithologist]

Small mercies on that, I'm sure.

Probably. If you'd like to try teaching it to Bear, be my guest.

[ there may have been a misunderstanding between him and the kids.

but they're just kids. they don't mean any harm. (do they?) ]

Oh.

Um, I'll consider it.

[ if harold wants him to? his method of 'teaching' is a bit of a cheat, though. ]

I wanted you ask you something.
This social media, are you still planning to develop it even though the response has been largely indifferent?

[ornithologist]

[ It does sound like they'd chosen humorous but harmless things to "teach" Castiel. He was actually joking about him teaching it to Bear, though if he wants to try, well, why not? ]

I'm considering it. Despite the sentiments expressed here, it's generally been proven enormously popular. Why do you ask?

we can wrap this up quick if you need to!

[messenger]

I think it would be a good idea.

Etraya is incredibly limited in scope and size. There isn't really much to do, and humans get bored very easily.

yes pls!!

[ornithologist]

You're extremely right about that.

[ Harold thinks of John pacing around the library cleaning things like a zoo animal going crazy, specifically a predator. ]

Thank you, Castiel. Give me a couple days and I'll make up a physical device for you.
