She makes all the right ooh-ing noises at the trash compactor episode, though she has a very hard time picturing that - people tend to turn to mush rather than neat cube, and hacking systems is still a very vague concept, and what is a tractor beam? But all the words and terms, because there are no many, because Zach juggles them so easily, because they are mysterious and wonderful, are like magical chanting. She occasionally repeats one under her breath just to treasure the sound of it. Droids, bowcaster, tractor beam... like running her fingers over shining beads in the story's rosary.]
