gollark: It was very expensive and I don't have that much to actually do with it.
gollark: We even have Psi now.
gollark: Idea: consume GTech™ goods and services.
gollark: Plus the UI is nicer. I intend to upgrade to a hybrid ME/storage scanner system eventually.
gollark: The storage scanner has an infinite range remote access thing, see. Milo can also do this but it's annoying and expensive.
