"That was one of the interesting things to figure out, how to make it display without the intermediary."
He starts on another explanation of 'motion activated sensors', systems that are supposed to respond to thoughts, experiments with AIs, block transfer mechanics as understood as the building blocks of certain universes and a slight digression into the possibility of temporal engineering if you start in a universe without time travel.
"...Uh. Anyway. It should work if you press your whole... hand against it."
Bill looks actually very interested in the temporal engineering part, and encourages the digression. Not like they're pressed for time here. Haha! Get it? Time.
"ALRIGHT!"
He does - the memory he's uploaded is just another one of him looking incredibly bored in the Nightmare Realm, eye half-lidded, floating with all four limbs limp and a deck of cards floating around him in zero gravity.
Bill's pupil goes squiggly again for a second as he uploads - "EUH." - and he presses his hand to the clip.
An image of Bill in the last port appears, riding on Yara's shoulders and having a vehement hissed argument with her about which direction they should be trying go in thorough the jungle.
"THAT'S ONE OF ABOUT A DOZEN EXACTLY LIKE THAT. WE SURE HAD FUN."
Nico starts running tests, not blind to the rest of the world, but having shut it out as unnecessary at the moment. It doesn't entirely live up to his perfectionist standards, but he's quite pleased at the level of detail and smoothness of motion. He waves a pencil through the images, noting the lack of glitching, before finally leaning back.
"I should be able to make some improvements, and I'm still not certain how much storage it'll be able to manage at this point, but it's not bad."
When he goes back to the moment he was taken from, there will be a living Clancy. Not the one he'd known here. Still the person Nico keeps losing, but Clancy never stays.

"OH, WHOO! THAT ACTUALLY FEELS KINDA FUN."

"Just, uh, be careful. Tell me if you start to notice any side effects. Or someone else does."
