"Yes. It's worked in most other situations, barely. It's one way; can't switch to different channels while it's on." He shrugs. "I've been trying to contact my superiors, to no avail."

-So no luck then... Aichi wishes he knew how to help.-

"I hope you'll be able to figure it out... I don't really know much about stuff like this so I'm not much help..."

(Leos comes down from upstairs, humming a little song to himself before finding the other two occupants of the Main Room.)

Hmm? Oh, hey, Aichi. Who's your friend?

He nods. "It's no trouble. We all have skills that differ from person to person..."

He looks up at Leos and says, "Good day."

Main Room (Aichi)

-Aichi looks over to Leos.-

"Oh, Leos! This is Eigl. I met him a couple days ago."

-Aichi then had an idea. Leos is a nice guy that deals with all sorts of technology... Maybe he could help with Eigl's earpiece?-

"Um... Do you think you could look at Eigl's earpiece, Leos? He's been trying to contact his world, but hasn't had any luck yet..."

-Maybe Aichi's a little too quick to ask if Leos can help, but he has good intent... That means something, right? Wait, he should have asked Eigl if he was OK with it first...-

"I-I mean if you're all right with it, Eigl... Leos is a friend of mine and he's really good with stuff like this!"

-... Although Leos may not necessarily want to in the first place. Aichi does feel a little guilty asking.-

Hi, Mr Eigl. I'm Leos Alloy.

(to Aichi) Uh, Aichi, it was a long shot to get the gate working in the first place. ...Then again, it wouldn't hurt to have a look...

He looks at Aichi, then at Leos.

"Well, Leos, I don't know if you'll have much success. Technological advances — differ from world to world, I would think."

He opens his hand and presents the earpiece to him. It's small as one from his world would be, if not as complex.

Main Room (Aichi)

-Leos had a point about that... It really was a long shot the star gate had even worked... It's pretty unfair of Aichi to ask something like that...-

"S-Sorry... I shouldn't have..."

-... Wait, he said he'd look at it?-

"You will?"

-Aichi's glad Leos doesn't mind too much for him imposing.-

"Thank you, Leos!"

-As for what Eigl said Aichi really should have considered that as well, but he didn't. Aichi's sheepish now.-

"T-That makes sense... It doesn't hurt to try though does it?"

Hmmm... (He looks over the earpiece with scrutiny.)

It's fairly standard, but... doesn't it require a connection to an array or something? Like a satellite?

(Considering that most of humanity's Mobile Suit-involved wars involved developing communication systems that were capable of overpowering the interference caused by Mobile Suit operations on other forms of communication, it would make sense to look at a system's infrastructure.)

"A wired connection to —"

He takes something else on his hip; a small tablet, much like this but without the markings. It has one circular port on its side.

"this."

-Aichi starts looking at the tablet. It's a rather strange, but fascinating tablet... Aichi doesn't say anything, but he's definitely interested in hearing what Leos thinks of it.-

Hmmm. Do you have an idea on what sort of range it has?

How far can it transmit, things like that?

Ooooh, yeah, that would be a major problem.

-10 to 15 miles... How many kilometers would that be*...? Aichi's a little out of his element in this discussion, but he's pretty sure that 10-15 miles isn't going to do much good here...-

"..."

-He's still just listening and looking. He doesn't really have anything he can say.-

*Apparently Japan uses kilometers so I figured I should have Aichi make some kind of mental note about it.

Yeah, unless you found out a way to... I dunno, establish an interdimensional wormhole that happened to open to your place of origin, then I dunno how to help you...

Main Room (Aichi)

-Aichi can't help but be disappointed that Leos can't really help Eigl, but he appreciates the fact that Leos tried. He looks over to Eigl.-

"S-Sorry... I really thought there might have been a chance..."

-He then looks over to Leos.-

"Sorry, Leos. I should have realized how unlikely it was..."

-Aichi's optimism was definitely a sign of naivety on his part. He feels bad for wasting both Leos and Eigl's time.-

-Aichi knows it's not his fault, but he still feels disappointed about being him and Leos being unable to help. Not that he blames Leos of course. Leos did what he could.-

"A-All right..."

-And Leos is right about it not being easy. If it had been easy all three of them (and many others) probably would have left by now.-

"Yeah... We wouldn't be here if it was, would we?"

-He has (yet another) sheepish look on his face.-

-Aichi looks over at Leos in confusion.-

"Is something wrong, Leos?"

-That "Hmmm..." makes Aichi wonder if he's thinking something.-

For some reason I'm drawing a blank on how to have Aichi respond to Eigl. Sorry.
