Greetings, people of Aldrip.

I am a new arrival to this place. My name is Rafal. I am a dragon from another world. As familiar as I am with the mechanics of multiple worlds and travel between then, I am afraid the technology gap here is rather large. I would like to request the aid of a master, someone who is proficient in it and is willing to teach me.

Of course, this does not need to be for free. You are welcome to request a boon or a favor. I lack money at this juncture but I will see to it soon enough. I am no longer in the business of resurrecting the dead and I do not kill for others . . . but I am open-minded in other requests.

Thank you.

— Ah, yes, a picture of my true form since that seems to be a sticking point among skeptics.

Yes. I clearly said the word dragon.

Why is there a club for STEM?

[spidermenaces]

So we can all work together on projects and have fun!

[nilhilistic]

[ so a kid thing? it sounds very . . . saccharine. ]

I don't think that's for me. I merely wish to upskill myself so I am not tricked by this place.

[spidermenaces]

(there are more adults than kids... funnily enough...)

Can you be more specific, please?

[nilhilistic]

Like this for example.

Is it normal? What was that presence? What does it mean here?

[spidermenaces]

It told me it's an Artificial Intelligence.
AIs are computer systems capable of performing complex tasks that only a human could do
Reasoning, making decisions, or solving problems.
It thinks

It's normal where I'm from, I haven't been here for long, but my own network is off in this place so I can't use it against it

[nilhilistic]

Your own network? I thought there was only one.

[spidermenaces]

No at home there are a lot
Here, I suggest you come to the STEM club and find Mr. Spock and Jim, they can assist you with this kind of thing
Teach you how to use a more discreet uh type of network I guess

[nilhilistic]

[ hm. ]

If that is the only way, then I will join.

[spidermenaces]

You can learn by yourself
But he's really good with it

[nilhilistic]

I plan to.

I want to ensure there are no gaps in my knowledge.

[spidermenaces]

... Unrelated
How big are you
How are you looking like a person
How does that work

[nilhilistic]

As big as a house, perhaps bigger. I have never measured.

Dragons can switch between forms. It makes existing among humans easier.

[spidermenaces]

That's super cool
Do you have a treasure
Do you like rings

[nilhilistic]

I do not have a strong opinion on rings and I no longer possess great treasures.

[spidermenaces]

No longer

Yeah okay Smaug

[nilhilistic]

I beg your pardon.

[spidermenaces]

BYE!
