'''Florence:''' The super-conductive motors and power torus had a lot of quench points I took them out and cryo-treated thme. The rest was just minor work.

You don't need a lot of specialized equipment like you do on the new ones.

'''Qwerty:''' ''[[StarfishAlien The tentacled horror from beyond my stars]] spoke, and von Neumann help me, [[CthulhuMythos in my madness I understood its words.]]''\\

He not only realized you could take programming out of hardware, he came up with the rules of how to do it in a single afternoon. Nothing my species has done comes close to that.\\
