OOC: We're semi-fantasy. Very little magic, but abilities beyond reality nonetheless. We reject some modern technology, while embrace others.

"Oh, dear me!" said Safanaj, the head monk. "This is quite a troubling development. I task you, Son Canaif and Daughter Ioni, to secure this by any means nesscesary. Such a thinking machine (computer) trainer (program) would be a great victory for the southwest path. We must stop it from falling into their hands. I will try to learn more about how this could work with our own thinking-machine in the meantime. Perhaps this internet we are now connected to can help."
"Yes, Father Safanaj. Brother Canaif and I are honored."
They quickly went off to the armory. They retrieved their skamas (swords), anaida (double-bladed sword), ji-skama (short sword), mi-skama (knife), and yuan (bow and arrow).
They then went out into the vehicle yard. They rolled out the Northeast Breeze, the hot air balloon, and loaded on their horses, and took off.
Canaif was young, in his late teens. Ioni was older, in her forties, but the Northeast path made one age slower. She was physically in her early thirties.
After a few hours, they arrived in The Silver Ring. Hidden beneath their robes were their mi-skamas, just in case. The hot air balloon was parked in a field. They rode into the yard of the auction house on their horses.
"Greetings. We are monks of the Northeast Order. We seek to purchase this."
