"only slightly." steve said, sincerely joking though his tone was dry. and then, "Grandpa?--son,--"

Before he could get started, from behind him the computer whirred back to life, speaking over him: 'playing darkside by grandson' the computer said. steve turned around and unplugged the damn thing, cutting off the music.

"If you don't watch it I'm gonna find whatever your version of this is." he held up the power cord, motioning to jimm.

"Right right. Glad I'm still a bit better than a telephone." He chuckled to himself. "If you're so smart why do you need specific instructions on how to interact with it. Just figure it out grandpa." Steve was roughly 20 years older than Jim, so it still felt fitting to say.

"When this thing gets as smart as you, then it can talk." sometimes he forgot jimm wasn't exactly your average human--not that it mattered, steve himself had been altered by a serum. half the people trapped here weren't what one might consider to be 'normal'. jimm closed the program with a simple command and steve sighed. "see, if it's so smart why do i have to be so specific?"

"Something wrong with technology talking?" Jim said looking over his glasses with a wry smile. "These the conversations you had behind my back?" He joked with a small chuckle before walking over towards his old comrade. "Close display." He said pressing the voice command button as the hologram closed. "Modern problems require modern solutions, Steve." He teased patting him on the shoulder before taking a seat across from him.

"Don't you touch that radio--" steve warned. It was playing some old blues song, everyone kept telling him to download an app but he liked the scratchy static that came through the speakers. it added a bit of character. sue him for being a little nostalgic.

"Nope." steve admitted. Suddenly a feminine voice came from the device and he started rapidly pressing a different button, trying to get it to go away. "--why does everything talk now?"

"Tell me about it." He said looking at the hologram somewhat impressed Steve turned it on. "You didn't do that on purpose, did you?"

"Tell me about it--went from snail mail to holograms."

"First I'm in a new time period and then I'm in a new reality. I'm nervous to find out what's coming next."
