Hello, everyone!
[Guizhong is broadcasting from... somewhere. The sky behind her is flushed pink with golden sunlight shining off the clouds, floating islands visible in the background, a few trees behind her rustling in a soft breeze.
The woman herself is as bright-eyed as ever, surrounded by half-deconstructed technology. Some of it might look familiar - televisions, radios, a toaster, and so on. Some of it has been taken apart beyond all recognition.]
I'm looking for some mechanically-minded folks who would like to join me in... taking some things apart to see how they work? [Look, there's really no better term for what she's doing in here.]
They won't give me an airship to deconstruct, so I'm working through some things here until I can get hold of one. [Famous last words. Evidently she has some sort of plan she hasn't followed through with yet...] I wonder what might make a good next project?

[True, knowing that Emet-Selch's current appearance is that of a Garlean would matter little to Guizhong, but she still finds her mind snagging on the strange reality of a whole segment of people unable to wield the magics of a world when everbody else has the ability.
Fascinating.]
So they use technology to make up for their lack of ability in other respects. That does make sense.

[History that he has, in all likelihood, lived through in one form or another. But that hardly means he has been keeping abreast of every single thing to occur across the whole of even a single shard, much less the Source itself.]
Precisely so. Where magic will not avail them, they turn instead to technology to find an edge against those who would seek to oppose them. And to aid in surviving the frozen realm they call home.

She smiles a little to herself as they walk together, and lightly pats his arm.]
I suppose it is not as simple as moving somewhere warmer. [No, she does not expect that it is.] Humans are incredibly resilient, don't you think?

[For now, he is willing to leave aside the further explanation of why the Garleans had come to live where they do. He might know it as well as any other - and with good reason, considering he'd spent nigh on half a century there himself - but it is less than immediately relevant to the current conversation.]
Though I will not deny their resilience.

[She shakes her head a little.]
I wasn't one of those successful, in the end, but I saw first-hand just how resilient humans can be. They deserve more respect than some would give to them.

Previously? That sounds like a story.
