9S lets out a low whistle. A natural converter, huh? So it'll never need to be replaced, as long as it's properly maintained and there is energy in the atmosphere? That's pretty interesting.
But man, the blastia is named, too? Rita sure is weird.
Nevertheless, 9S smiles and says, "Don't worry, I know how to treat a lady right."
Looking down at the small device -- this shouldn't take long -- 9S hacks in. From all outward appearances, it just seems like he's looking at the blastia, but his consciousness enters it. Notably, Pod 153 stops its sweeping; the pod is assisting him by keeping an exit route available in case things go pear shaped.
9S needn't have worried, though; the blastia doesn't have defences the same way machine lifeforms do. Navigating within the hacking space of the blastia's body is different to what he's used to, though; it must be the 'formula' Rita was talking about. But it's similar enough that he can parse the formula as if he were navigating through machine based circuits. He can sense the energy eminating from the core and flowing through the formula, converting it, just as Rita had described. He can't tap into the core, though; it's like a traditional black box to him, where he can see the input and he can see the output, but not any of the in between. But if he analyses the data...
Disengaging, 9S' mind is soon back in his body, and he lifts the blastia up so it's about eye-level. All in all, the entire process hadn't taken longer than a few seconds; even if the blastia's foreign technology, it isn't as complex as hacking into a server or the mainframe of a factory. A single, isolated device with a restricted purpose is easy by comparison. "So Juana's core converts energy into heat? That's weird. Normally heat's considered a waste product of the energy conversion process, so naturally you'd want to avoid that. But... it looks like you've adapted the heat into a sensor that monitors heat fluctuations from a distance."
He holds the blastia out on his palm for Rita to take back.
"Why do you want to know that sort of information?"
