[Azmuth's handwriting is improving through necessity but it's obvious that he's not used to recording things by hand. The letters are a bit sloppy in places but at least it's legible.]

Recently a few appliances and other devices have appeared using crystal power sources. I'm aiming to study these crystals to see if it might be possible to adapt them for other uses, but I need to start by studying the devices they currently power to see how their energy is being harnessed. Then I can build some means of testing power output and so on. Given there's no spectrographs or other specialized equipment here, I'll be getting creative.

If anyone would be to willing to allow me to study the devices in your home, I'd be most appreciative. I promise not to attempt any modifications. I may have centuries of experience with technology but I'm not so foolish to start making changes without fully understanding what I'm looking at first. However, if you're willing to donate one of these devices to allow me to completely deconstruct it for further study, I'd be most appreciative.

I understand that likely something will be expected of me in return. I am willing to trade what I can.

Understood. I'll be the one in armor.

[ ... Well, standing on a table would certainly help him stick out. Although Samus had to wonder why he felt the need to stand on a table, when she could clearly see his picture on the back of the journal. Whatever the case, she made her way to the plaza, still clad in her power suit. Getting a few looks as she approached the cafe-- after all, she was six foot plus and clad in advanced armor-- before she sat down by one of the tables.

Awkwardly. Because again, armor. ]

[ That is. Staggeringly small. And Samus can't help but be silent for a hot minute when her gaze finally lands on the tiny alien that had managed to climb onto the cafe table. Not... necessarily the strangest thing she's ever seen, really. But she couldn't deny she hadn't been prepared for it. ]

... I take it you're Azmuth. [ To her credit, her voice was composed. It was also very clearly female, even through the distortion of her helmet's speakers. ]

I am.

[ She was regaining what little composure she even lost, the longer she looked at him. Just seeing him with her own two eyes did plenty to help her adjust to the fact that he was, in fact, that small. He wasn't the first species she'd seen that was smaller than average-- she was very well traveled, after all. But he was definitely the smallest, by a far margin.

It didn't matter, ultimately. She'd adjust. She always did. ]


Simply combat. [ Then, after a second: ] Don't take it personally.

Very little. My experience is in its use, not in its construction. My familiarity is mostly with Chozo technology, which in my... dimension? [ The term 'world' felt lacking to her. ] is the most advanced technology in our galaxy. Most missions I take involve the discovery and use of said technology.

Likewise, the suit I'm currently wearing is Chozo technology. Most technology I find is adaptable with my suit. Obviously that's not as applicable in this plane of existence, but I'm still figuring out the limits of dreamotion.

[ A pause, as she realized that was a lot to digest, probably. ]

... I'm willing to learn if I need to.
