Technology's archaic.

[ Well, that's one way to introduce oneself. Insult the technology. Like an asshole. ]

Year you're from? [ Then, as an afterthought: ] Mine's 2547.

[ Guess what, buddy? Maine's got the Best News Ever: ]

It might have been once. It isn't anymore, or if it is, nobody's telling us about it.

[bloodbathing]

Sounds shitty.

[fishermansweater]

That's a good description.

Most advanced tech?

[ He means back where Finnick is from, but he's not exactly clear. ]

[fishermansweater]

[ Fortunately, Finnick is used to making sense of terse or half-expressed sentences, and he gets what Maine means. ]

Hovercraft, force fields, holograms, genetic engineering, artificial climate.

I don't know how much of that helps. Most of us don't have access to advanced technology.

[bloodbathing]

[ With the exception of "artificial climate," that all sounds familiar to Maine. He frowns, thinking about it. Could terraforming be considered artificial climate...? ]

Most sound familiar.

[ Unseen, he sighs and rubs a hand over his scalp. This is why he leaves intel gathering to people who are good at it. This is just ... confusing. Frustrating. ]

Could be future. Humanity wins war. Earth fucks itself.

[fishermansweater]

Earth fucks itself is a pretty good summary of the little history I know.

I know there were wars and disasters that killed most of humanity.

[bloodbathing]

War seems universal. [ Or: ] Multi-universal?

[ He doesn't know the right term for it. ]
