Val fell quiet as she considered what he said. Her brows had drawn together in concentration as she tried to come up with a counterargument (you know, on principle). It was difficult because she didn't actually know how these things worked so it kinda was like magic to her. She couldn't even begin to explain how her neural network and interface plug worked.

"But magic's s'pposed to be all," she waved her hands in a vague gesture, something she probably saw in a video game or something, "and then shit just kinda worked. Computers'n stuff aren't like that. It's not like the, uh, was it fire? You were throwing at the training dummy earlier?"

She frowned a little.

"You made that come out'f nothin'. Computers need power - not like it comes out'f nowhere like that."
