babel_hacker | Day 44

[After the prom, Atsuro used the Ace Trainer’s services to return to Goldenrod to pick a few things up from the department stores. Other than equipments and references he needs for programming, he also pick up a Dubious Disc to study. He’s been planning on taking a look into its contents, but he haven’t save up enough until now.

Not when he’s also saving up money for a possible investment into a house for himself and his Pokemon.

It’s after he take a good look into the Dubious Disc and dig in as much as he can, that he typed up a post to the network.]

Did anyone else look at what’s inside the Dubious Disc? The data inside is what cause Porygon2 to evolve into a Porygon-Z via trading. Which isn’t all that strange, since the Porygon line are made of data.

So I looked inside and I found some weird stuff. I’m wondering if anyone else can confirm it as well, or I lucked out in getting a weird copy to study.

Because I don’t know what to think about finding this inside. Or what looks like a bunch of familiar looking memes, just Pokemon (which is somehow both surprising but not really). So I’d appreciate your input on this.

Also, does anyone want a Dubious Disc? I can’t use it since Fortran’s fully evolved.

[Thanks for that, mysterious kidnapper.]

...And if you're also raising a Porygon-Z, mind if I ask you about the evolution process and results? Thanks.

Can I safely assume AD in this case? Because that's definitely ancient, then.

Yeah, AD.

...Do you still use AD, or did human history went far enough to use another designation?

We're using AG, but we're not that far into it.

Compared to when I'm from, how far ahead are you from? 100 years? 1000?

Not anywhere near a thousand yet, but we're slowly getting there.

Wow... I can only imagine how much technology advanced if it's that far ahead.

We can't yet teleport and we don't travel around on jetpacks either, if that's what you're imagining.

Aw man. What about hover cars?

We have some very nice cars, but no hovering, sadly.

Aw geez. That's like the one other futuristic sci-fi stereotypes beside jetpacks! I guess development haven't went that far yet.

The great engineering minds had other priorities, I'm sorry to say.

[Such as weapons, weapons and more weapons.]

Maybe those great engineering minds can consider other projects when they're done with their priorities. Assuming they can get the funding for it.

With the way things are going, all the potential sources of funding will dry out before that happens. They're all very busy these days.

Let me guess. Space development or a war?

Oh! Space war!

Ding ding ding! We have a winner!

I don't know if I should be happy that I guessed it right.

Maybe because I watched and read too many futuristic sci-fi things.

Hey, at least for you they're just futuristic sci-fi things in the first place.

Yeah. This is one of those cases where it's very different if you live in it instead of reading it.

Or maybe life's not that different, just with more tech.

More tech, more Martians, more hundred-year-long government coverups...

...There's Martians?

[C'mon, Atsuro. Demons and angels exist in your world. What's so surprising about Martians?]

Well, they're called Vagans and they're really humans from the colonies near Mars, but people in this world usually get the word 'Martians' more easily.

Oh, gotcha. Basically your catch-all term like with cola.

With the added bonus of stopping the lifestyle or dietary jokes. Seriously, I'm not even a Vagan and I still heard them all.

It's not like they expected it when they meet up with humans.

Unless they have the vegan term in their culture, then they're just asking for it.

Of course they do, their ancestors lived on Earth as recently as two hundred years ago. They must have brought dictionaries along.
