[ Jim doesn't think it's more fragile, but then he understands technology in a different way. He knows that even if the tablet is destroyed, any information in there still exists and is accessible elsewhere. Plus, it's easier and much safer to have on a ship or station than actual books, and paper production already created enough of an environmental issue in the past.
That said, Jim also vastly prefers books. The smell of them, the feeling of the pages against his fingertips. Reading on a computer or PADD can never compare. ]
I can get you some actual reading material, if you want.
[ Something that's really about space, no children's books or anything. To Kirigan's question, he lets out a sigh, both eyebrows raised. ]
That depends on how much of the station we can access. If it's an issue in the station's computers, we might be able to fix it by looking into them, but if it's mechanical, then we need to really get in there and look around. If it's power-related, though, we'd have to find some kind of power source. There are a lot of things that can make a station malfunction, so we'd need some kind of diagnosis program and a group of people capable of pinpointing where the problem could be coming from, hopefully so we could fix it permanently.
