compnetwork | Video 01; a horrible, horrible tragedy!

[ Minato has an extremely important announcement to make. He's very upset by this turn of events because that music player - and his headphones, while we're at it - are very precious to him. Therefore, actually talking to many people at once on this device seems absolutely necessary! So he breaks his record of not broadcasting messages publically for this.

... anyone who watched the videos Yu Narukami posted the other day might recognize Minato as one of several who fell victim to teleporter accidents and wound up in the pool, though he's considerably dryer here. ]

My mp3 player got dunked in a pool the other day. I've been letting it dry since. However, it seems to be shorted out altogether.

... does anyone have any recommendations for a good place to get it fixed? Or... is there anyone here good with electronics?

I'd be very grateful for any assistance. [ pause ] For those I haven't met, my name is Minato Arisato.

ETA:
[ A short while later, he appends a picture of the mp3 player in question as well additional details as they come up. ]

It's from the early 2000s on Earth.
My sister has a working model, if one needs to be seen.

I believe so. Flash memory.

I can probably fix it, or at the least save the data unless the drive itself shorted out. If you would like I can take a look over everything some time though.

I have all the data backed up on my laptop. I don't mind if the data can't be recovered from the player. I just would like it working again, if possible.

Drop it off with me then, I should be able to fix it in a few days.

What is your name?

Also, where and when are you from? If you don't mind answering, that is.

Ruri. Hoshino Ruri.

I'm from... The last place on Earth I lived was Tokyo, I've been on the Battleship Nadesico mostly though. I'm from 2301 A.D.

I've parked the ship in the park if you'd like to bring the device.

It's nice to meet you, Ruri-san.

That ship is yours? It looks amazing.

[ He's seen it in passing and been fascinated. ]

I'm also talking to someone who is from my time period. Do you mind if I let him take a look at it first?

[ After hearing about how the demons, for example, would be prone to upgrade it instead of just fixing it, Minato is a little wary of handing it over to someone from the future. Just in case. ]

Well, officially the Nadesico belongs to the UE-Spacy fleet out of Geneva, but I'm the captain. If you ever want to see it feel free to stop in.

Not at all, they may be a bit more familiar with older components. It really is an exercise in archeology for me, but things like that can be fascinating. Especially working to keep it the same.

Should I call you Captain Ruri, then?

Thank you, however. I would love to see the ship at some point. I will bring the player by after he's had a look at it, then.

You can if titles are important to you. They aren't all that important to me so I don't care one way or another. Given my full one is so long it just becomes cumbersome and silly.

I should be here and if not Omoikane can contact me and entertain you till I get there.

Okay. I will stop by in a couple days.

Thank you, Ruri-san. (^-^)/

[ Why yes, he does sometimes include faces like that... ]

Understood, I'll get some schematics on modern day mp3 players just in case.

Thank you.
