Book 13: Random Access Memorabilia — Part II: Write

Transcript

TAGII: This is interesting, Captain.  The radius of Oisri's masking effect is exactly two thousand and sixty-three times the radius of Oisri herself.

KEVYN: So?

TAGII: It's EXACTLY 2063 times the size.  I don't have the instrumentation to get past the number of significant digits where it is not.

KEVYN: I suppose it was engineered that way for some reason.  Lots of engineered things have whole number ratios in them.

TAGII: 2063 is a prime number.

KEVYN: Next time, lead with that information, and assume I do not have the table of the first 10,000 primes memorized.

TAGII: I'm amazed at the long list of things you meat sophonts don't do with your brains.
