Hello, Jet. Noah tells me you're getting a room ready for me if Shinji needs somebody to talk with about being an AI based on a fictional character. Thank you.
My personal and business needs aren't very demanding - I'll bring my own clothes and toothbrush, and I can use your Halcyon node to stay in touch with the office.
But there is one big thing I might need. Do you have a piano on Frigga? I so rarely get time to play any more, but Leda thinks it might be a good idea for Shinji to lose himself in music as stress relief. (Of course, Leda's a geneticist, not a psychologist, and I don't think anybody's asked Kat over on Grover's Corners about any of this yet.) I've found a few piano/cello duets that we can practice together if I do come over for a while, if Shinji wants to play with me.
It takes a few days for a piano to settle in after it's been moved, if we need to send a team from Steinway to your base, we should do that now. I think Frigga is big enough and empty enough that they can set up a piano without Shinji noticing.
For that matter, do you have a cello? If not, Stellvia Corporation can loan you a Scarampella - Noah thinks Shinji might enjoy playing a really good cello, and the Filker that we were going to lend it to is already using the Montagnana that Space Station Three owns.
Yayoi
There are some cello/piano duets out there...
