NessoAsks"Jacob, we're in a sci-fi series, conversing with our own Author, where we could do literally ANYTHING, and you want to resume our role as a software team?"
"Yes, but with a twist," Jacob responded. "If we can produce a breakthrough product in the confines of our story, then Author can help turn it into a real product in the outside world. I have so many ideas to try, and we'd be the ultimate sandbox!"
"We're in a science FICTION story, remember? Things we come up with in here might not work in the real world at all."
"True, but what if our story could have all the same rules and limitations as the real world? If it works here, it should work there, right?"
_/Jacob, if I can break in here for a moment?/_
"Sure thing, Author!"
_/The idea sounds great on paper, but simulating the real world is notoriously difficult/_
"Ok, but..."
_/I can, however, tell you that your first 14 ideas will definitely not work/_
"Oh, come on!"
