[ Which is weird to type just because it's totally the same word but. You know his tone here. It's a little dismissive, but this is just Jack working through things quickly as he really thinks about this. He's a quick, very sharp thinker, though it's to a fault. ]
I won't. Don't worry. Or... I will? I dunno, being transparent about that seems like it's probably better, but, eh, I won't say it unless it needs to be said. I'm really good at talking myself into a corner, which I think you've probably already seen, but, I'm being more careful here considering the stakes.
[ There's a hint of the failing here, since it seems like he already has his opinion set about the people, though with something more objective like the skylight, the strength of that quality is much better.]
Thinking about it, but not much yet. I've got a lack of... stuff here. Which, not saying that it's impossible, but it means I've gotta be more creative. More working with, uh, junk. You know what I wouldn't give for an actual, modern computer? In that case, I bet it'd be no problem, but, eh, what'll you do.
[ He speaks quickly there as if he's rushing to his point, and as he explains, he gestures generally to help illustrate his ideas. ]
Easiest solution is gonna be to get up on the walkways and then work your way up, buuuut that's, y'know, super dangerous. So. I've been thinking about how people that climb mountains and shit do it, so some strong ropes, duh, but we're working with a flat surface that isn't gonna take well to trying to make footholds. So instead, a weighted system. You get something to launch rope over, weight it down on the other side with about double of the body weight of the person on the other end. Then you're just pretending you're back in junior high and climbing the rope and trying to ignore all the assholes laughing at your skinny nerd arms.
[ not that this is personal ]
That's gonna be the best bet, at least for what I'm thinking now. That's the highest point, so start out there and you'll at least get a better, uh, starting point. Secondary idea? That's hacking, baby. We've got one terminal, and it is old as balls, but it's a computer all the same. Juuuust, y'know, gonna be scratching at way back hobbyist knowledge to dick around with those things. Dicking around with assemblers? Jesus. [ Which, actually... ] ...But if you need a place to write shit down, maybe I can help with that. It- It wouldn't be super hard to make a program, so long as I can store stuff on the terminals. You store your info in them and lock it down with a password kinda thing. Just. Y'know. Makin' sure the password gets out in case of... Bad stuff. That's probably important.
