LC (electronic communication): Okay… eyeballs, eyeballs, where are your eyeballs…
LC (electronic communication): Is that them?
ADI-7819-149141 (electronic communication): It would appear so.
LC (electronic communication): Great. Can we pop’em in?
ADI-7819-149141 (electronic communication): That should be possible, yes, although they also lack drivers.
----------------------
LC (electronic communication): No problem. I’ll hold your hands up on either side of your head, iterate the visual data until you see something that’s between left and right.
ADI-7819-149141 (electronic communication): Iterating.
ADI-7819-149141 (electronic communication): Iterating.
ADI-7819-149141 (electronic communication): Iterating.
ADI-7819-149141 (electronic communication): Iterating.
----------------------
LC (electronic communication): Okay, that’s looking good. Can we get colour?
ADI-7819-149141 (electronic communication): The primary visual sensors can process that input, but they were calibrated with the hand micro-cameras, which cannot.
LC (electronic communication): Wait, over there! On that barrel! Never thought I’d be so glad to see a hazmat diamond. Those are a standard red, blue, yellow, and white, right? Calibrate to that!
ADI-7819-149141 (electronic communication): Iterating.

ADI-7819-149141 (electronic communication): Iterating.
ADI-7819-149141 (electronic communication): Iterating.
ADI-7819-149141 (electronic communication): Iterating.
LC (electronic communication): ….aaaand I am just now noticing that we have no legs, which may be a problem for the whole “walk to my place” plan.
ADI-7819-149141 (electronic communication): You didn’t ask.
