SUA: Uh...ah-...ahem!

YUI: Hmm? Oh! You gotta let minnow when you're standing there, otherwise you'll spook me!

SUA: Oh, I'm not trying to be spooky!

YUI: Yeah but you kinda are sometimes, the way you stand there... just watching. You got a staring problem or somefin?

SUA: That's a consistency?

YUI: Seems like it, in both of THESE timelines anyways.

SUA: Awh man...

YUI: It’s alright! It doesn't bother me, just give me a shout or a knock!

SUA: I did, but you had headphones on...

YUI: Okay, whale whatever, you've got my attention now! What's up?

SUA: Did you manage to fix the drive? I mean, after my adjustments I mean.

YUI: Yeah! In theory, anyway. We gotta wait a few hours for the new parts to be implemented into the system. They’re still adjusting to the ship’s ecosystem.

YUI: I tried explaining the general idea to Moa, but surprisingly I think I totally lobster.

SUA: Really? Moa didn’t understand something you said?

YUI: Yup! Though she did in my timeline... guess this Moa is just stupider or somefin?

SUA: Moa’s not stupid! She’s really smart!

YUI: She likes to pretend she’s really smart, and usually she is... but sometimes she’s insistent she knows what she’s talkin’ about, when she eely doesn’t.

SUA: Well... I always thought she was smart... does that make me dumb?

YUI: Nooo, that’s not what I said! You’re a whale of a lot smarter than Moa is I think.

SUA: What? You really think so?

YUI: Look, sorry to burst your bubble, but being smart is overrated. No one agrees on what that even means!!

YUI: You’re totally all in on the alcu-alcu...y’know the physics! The thingamajig... uhh...

SUA: Alcuberian physics?

YUI: Yeah! I totally don’t grasp how that stuff works at all!

SUA: ...How do you work on a warp drive without knowing how alcuberian physics works?

YUI: I know WHAT it does, just not WHY it does it. Not super important, y'know?

SUA: Seems like a kinda irresponsible way to manage stuff like that!

YUI: I dunno, ya treat it like Magic or somefin! It wouldn’t be a magic trick if you understood how it worked!

SUA: It’s not magic! It’s science!

YUI: Oh yeah, it’s sciiiiience. Sure, in your dreams maybe!

SUA: No really! It’s simple, it works by contracting space in front of it, and expanding space behind it...

SUA: No object can exceed the speed of light... that’s just basic physics. So you instead have to cheat, and shift the space around it so you can end up somewhere else!

SUA: It’s not unlike the idea of teleportation... or wormholes... The problems arise when you have to work with negative energy density, which leads to needing to work with dark energy. Which without proper handling is a major headache!

YUI: Yeah, you can say that again. Dark energy procedures are my number one nemo-sis.

YUI: You see what I mean? You paid attention in class!

SUA: To the best of my ability... I still got mediocre grades.

YUI: I dunno if I’d say they were mediocre, you were at least slightly below Moa’s test scores!

SUA: I didn't reach Moa's test scores though! I wasn't good enough to surpass her...

YUI: There wasn't anyone who was, be reelistic.
