I need help!

[ Doc Brown doesn't look different from usual when he appears on the screen. Mind you! He has gotten a lot of sleep lately... But he looks like- In dire need of assistance! ]

Doctor Emmett Brown here. I have been working on an electronic game that involves humanoid interaction with a specifically designed user interface in order to generate visual feedback on a video device, or like it is more commonly called, a video game- Nothing special, simply a game to ease the mind of the people in this tower. It is a fighting game, with the intent to feature the administrators of this tower as a stress reliever.

[ QUITE CLEARLY That's the best kind of video game. Who here wouldn't want to beat up Jason and unlock all trophies and achievement? Not to mention the competitive multiplayer mode. ]

But I will never be able to finish it alone! I need people to help me design it, the making of a video game is something very complicated and unfortunately I am not qualified to make it alone!

[You can bet she's all over this.] Oh, I can help!

[ Ah, help already, perfect! ]

Can you? This would be most appreciated! What domains are you qualified in?

Computer programming and I'm pretty good at working with the hardware.

Doc... [groan]

Marty? What's wrong?

[ Come on, this is glorious. ]

Nothing, but... you sure they aren't gonna see this and get mad?

*Oh. Oh yes. He's not even going to try to hide his amusement as he answers this.*

I can help with that.

Perfect! I believe we will need to gather all together on the workspace, but what are you specialties?

[ Doc isn't amused, just excited because, this whole thing should make lots of people happy, right? ]

I'm mostly a programmer, although I can work with hardware too.

-(Youre working on)
-(A video game)

[Equius... does not want to use video. Or audio. Or anything except text. He's kind of in the middle of a fit of paranoia, so it's a miracle he's responded at all.]

[It seems the possibility of a video game has interested him, though.]

Yes, yes I am! Why, are you interested?

[ Come out of hiding, Doc won't bite! ]

-(Yes)
-(Coding games is wi+hin my fie1d of e×perience)

[The message comes after a long delay, presumably due to waffling over if he really wants to put himself into the open or not.]

A what?

A video game Cloud! You know, those game you can play on a computer-like device that are mostly for entertainment yet require lots of focus and means!

But why a video game?

I was going to ask if this is really the time for that, but. I got a friend that would appreciate that, so count me in.

[To the point where he's actually willing to un-anon himself for the first time in two months. Video games are serious business.]

Thank you! What are your field of expertise?!

Programming, coding, plus I'm a pretty good hacker, but I'm guessing that isn't what you're looking for. I've put together my own computers before, and I could probably set up some kind of engine for the gameplay.

[... Okay he cracks up at that.]

I can help with that. My last programming project used a handheld gaming platform as the operating system.

Nii-san, please don't cause another Lockdown or blow anything up, okay?

Unless you'd like to volunteer to be the server, I think that's impossible.

[For now.]

Handheld gaming platform? That's interesting, I've never had experience with handheld gaming platforms!

They're quite common where I'm from.

Dunno who you are, but you just became my new hero!

Did I now?!

<[ What? WHY this is nice but--- ]

May i ask what I did to warrant such an honor?
