TCP: RECOVERY SESSION

[cosmo]

You let the TCPs know that Moll has arrived, and she's brought with her another marimo type, just like Tenor! They both react excitedly; Alto puffing up to her full height in anticipation and Tenor hurriedly fluffing the cushions for their guest.
 

 

You realize you should be able to remotely unlock the entrance to the docking bay using the control consoles you created earlier. You pass this along and Tenor pokes around a bit on the monitor before saying that they think they figured it out and it should be open now.

CREATE: Gift bags
A couple of empty gift bags appear on the floor. Is this what you hoped to accomplish?

TEACH Alto: Hosting

 

 

Alto makes a terrible squeaking noise, quite frankly scaring the hell out of you. Frantically you look around for danger but spotting none, you realize with a sinking feelings that you forgot to warn her before using a TEACH command. Alto bolts for her room but Tenor intercepts her path and places her weighted blanket in her paws, gently squishing something in a tone too low for you to hear. Alto sighs and nods, folding the blanket around herself.

 

 

Tenor says quietly that they think it would be best if they went to go get Gumby alone. They know Alto is going to want to meet it but she'll need some time to recover first. You agree and Tenor slips out the door on foot, mentioning that they thought they had seen a staircase leading to the lower levels somewhere on their earlier joyride. They locate it quickly and start down the steps.

 

 

The two of them had had a chance to talk while you were on call with Moll, Tenor tells you. Alto had said she finds TEACH commands very overwhelming. If she doesn't have time to prepare herself for them, she can't fight down the wave of panic that rises up in her as the knowledge fills her head. They don't like to see their friend in distress, not at all. So maybe in the future, if you have something to teach them, you could TEACH Tenor first, instead of Alto? They don't find it nearly as upsetting as she does, and they feel confident that they can pass along a decent enough summary of most subjects so long as they aren't too complicated. What do you think?
