"Yes, yes, of course." Otto leans in to peer closer at the projection. The chip is interesting, but the projection ability itself is also very interesting to see. He wonders how responsive it can be - questions for another time perhaps. "They've got several alloys here that I wasn't familiar with before, excellent conductors. You know, it's strange - it was only 2006 when I left my world. Now I'm the one always coming across some new advancement."
He was ahead of his time, when he was back in his own time and place; it'd be false humility to pretend otherwise. That's left him on even ground with this world's advances in some areas, and still reading the latest publications in others. But he sounds fairly good-natured about it. At least in terms of scientific knowledge, a rising tide really does raise all ships. He's confident in his ability to build even further on these new foundations.
...just, you know. Maybe not a reactor this time.
Speaking of which! Otto leans back, resting his weight on the two lower actuators in place of a chair back. "I've been meaning to ask you, actually - is your company hiring?"
