It should let you, uh, project memories. Turn scanned experiences... 3-D set-up.
[It's more like a toy than anything else, in his opinion, but he'd wanted to try his hand ever since he saw some of what they could do on the space station.]
Nico twitches away, but he's familiar enough with Bill that he wasn't working on something that would be disrupted. He isn't doing much of anything, knees drawn up after another unsuccessful attempt to concentrate on his book.
He unfolds at Bill's arrival.
"Hi."
He nods toward the table where there's something that looks a lot like a tie clip.
"Miniaturizing it was tricky, or I would've finished it sooner."
Nico looks at his invention, the suggestion that ten years of specific trauma had saved - or possibly deprived - the world from a mad scientist who had doubled majored in improbable engineering is particularly strong in his expression a moment.
"It was a challenge. And it's for you. Would have to be different, for a human."
Bill beams at him, as much as something without a mouth can, and picks up the clip to examine it.
"KID, THIS IS FANTASTIC! WAY BETTER THAN I EVEN WOULD'VE ASKED FOR! I GOTTA ASK - IF I GO THROUGH WITH THIS AND DUMP OUT MEMORIES TO SWITCH TO BEING -"
His eye scrunches up, yuck - "A HUMAN, OR SOMETHING, AM I STILL GOING TO BE ABLE TO USE IT WHEN I NEED TO?"
"I'm human, but my brain doesn't work the same as 'normal'. There have been aliens who've graduated, who have different abilities. Why does it have to be human?"

I've been working on something for you. It wasn't done at Christmas, but it should be ready for testing now.

And it's good for people to have ways to protect themselves.
