In the same room, Bow and Peri chatted about technology, he showed her the tracker pad he had created. While she remained gracious, she chuckled. Such technology seemed primitive to her, as her tablet, in her opinion, had much more power. ”I’ve built robots and helped engineer a drill which reached the center of the Earth to stop a cluster of gems from destroying the planet. And…you could only, with your touch stumps, build this?”

Bow, annoyed and hurt she had described his work that way, calmed himself down so her arrogant, bragging and slightly condescending attitude wouldn’t affect him. He admitted that while he didn’t know everything about technology, he served as the tech master for the Rebellion, since Entrapta, a princess with a brilliant and technical mind, adept at creating new technology, had defected to the Horde. ”I still miss her every day and am inspired by her technological mindset to tinker with technology as part of the planet’s maker community. Someday, I’d like to introduce you to her, but I’m not going to the awful Fright Zone anytime soon. Last time, the Horde held me in a prison cell after kidnapping me. It was awful. I have to thank…”

Peri cut him off and looked at the recorder sitting on a nearby table. ”You have one of these too! Wow, I never thought I’d see one of these again. Do you record your intimate thoughts and observations on this…thing?”

She played back one of the entries. ”Future Bow, Mara…Serenia…I don’t know what this message means.” Interjecting, she asked Bow if she could record something using the device and he consented.

”Log date 7 24 19. Today, I was transported to this planet which has many unique properties which I would like to explore, meeting a group of elemental princesses and one person with a tanned complexion, kinky dark-brown hair, and dark black eyes. It calls itself Bow and says it is a tech master on this planet. Clearly, it is knowledgeable about technology, which I did not expect from these creatures, with not one clod among them. I would never much like to learn more from this person that calls itself Bow…”

Bow mildly added to the recording. ”And I met a short light-green skinned being today and hope to learn from her about new technologies from another dimension. It’s so exciting!”
