[It's been more than a week since the AU experiment had ended and for the most part, Alexei has actively pushed aside most of what had happened. Although, for the last week Alexei had continued to visit the orchard. He'd been a bit sleep deprived since the experiment ended and thanks to those memories that were planted in him, the orchard gave him the false impression that it was helping him. It was not just because he was falsely given memories that admittedly left an impact on him, but because near the end of the experiment he continuously saw himself dead in his dreams.

Since he arrived to Luceti, he had been denying his own death. He simply had the delusion that he may have just been spared in some way. A dead person shouldn't be breathing, feel hungry or pain. Who the hell was he fooling though, it did happen to him. It was over, whether he wanted it to or not. The realization just didn't hit him until now. He didn't have a choice anymore, Luceti was all he had now. He could care less for this world though. It would only be a matter of time before he's sent back to his grave. It's not the first time he was thrown back there from here. Even if he didn't remember, it still happened. So what was the point? Give up? ... No, that isn't like him to do that. He just didn't have a reason to care. He couldn't even confide with someone he once considered a friend. They were years apart now and a lot has happened between those times. She would not understand.

There were still so many things he wanted to do, so many things left unfinished back home... tch, even if he had survived, he would have been screwed. His plan had failed. He would have to answer to the Empire and his penalty may as well have been death for the number of crimes he had committed. All for the good of the world... he wondered if that world was worth saving at this point.

Maybe that was why he couldn't ignore the experiment. A life he could have had. Yes, the him in that still had difficult times... but it gave him a family and a new purpose. It was...somewhat refreshing. ]

[Today Alexei decided to spend his afternoon time underneath one of the mikan trees in the orchard. He had a few books with him, something, anything to keep his mind off of his own predicament and that previous experiment.

There was a book on machines and another on origami, which no doubt he only picked it up because of another false memory. It turned out to be something he could actively do besides training. It was like a puzzle. He made himself another pinwheel, just to see if he could still actually do it. Now he wanted to try more complicated shapes. Another reason why he had a book on machinery, to give him ideas of what to make. He could always try and make a little origami Murder machine... still, it probably wouldn't hurt to ask for some ideas.]

Tell me about what sort of interesting technology exist in your worlds. Things you commonly use, vehicles of transportation, war machines and the like.

[After spending a couple hours relaxing in the orchard, he will start to make his way out and head back to the apartment with a work in progress Murder folded in his book. He comes to a halt as he came closer to where the shed was. There were signs of a struggle. Items were in disarray, barrels turned over and it just looked like a big mess, more so than usual. Now that he thought about it, he hasn't seen Nami the last few times he's been here. She was a regular in the orchard as much as he was, but he didn't think much of her absence. They may have just been lucky at missing one another for all he knew. He leans against the shed and opens his journal. He could just ignore he ever saw this, but...this could actually play to his advantage. He's at least aware of two of her crew mates he can contact.]

Have either of you seen Nami?

Helicopters and autogyros are smaller aircraft that are easier to load up with guns. They use rotary propellers up top so unlike airplanes that have to stay in constant movement, helicopters and autogyros can hover and hold in place without crashing. More useful.

We also have oil bombs, nuclear bombs, grenade launchers, bazookas and stuff like that. You've never heard of motorcycles even though you're familiar with tanks and machine guns?

[Is it sad that she's used in canon everything listed except the nuclear bombs? :|]

Airplanes take more because of their size. Even though the fixed wings create the lift, their own propellers keep them moving forward by pushing the air over and under the wings. And a helicoptors rotary blades are always moving, there's just more control about the directions they can move in. Ditto autogyros.

Nuclear bombs destroy an entire city. My country Japan was famously hit by two of them several decades ago, and since then the whole world has been afraid of any major powerful country using them.

Bozookas are like a huge anti-tank gun. Like a hand-held cannon but more powerful and with missiles instead of balls.

Motorcycles are bicycles with a motor engine. They're really super fast.

A huge one. World War 2. It involved nearly every single country of the world.

Some experience, yeah.
