Well, thank you. It really isn't as simple as it looks. What we're doing now, burning fossil fuels on this level, it's destroying the environment. I was...working to invent a cleaner energy source, once, but that clearly didn't work out.

[There's really nothing clear about it, to someone who doesn't have the entire backstory on the actuators and all that. Otto doesn't elaborate. He doesn't seem upset, though; he wouldn't have mentioned it at all if he thought it were going to upset him again.]

This world's much farther along on that front. It's encouraging.

[The waiter comes along then to take their orders. Which is all very regular, except that they don't give the actuators even a second glance. Otto looks after them with a raised brow for a moment - people in the area have gotten more used to him, but that's still rather odd. He'll have to tip extra.]
