"There might be a better alternative."

Hadn't that last operation unlocked something? Some ability to interface with technology? Heightened affinity, it had been described as.

"I don't know. Some ridiculous name." --says AUO, Gilgamesh, first of his name.

... and why do so many of these mongrels doubt that, anyhow? Literally Fate/ could not have created a more Historically Accurate Rendition than what you see before you. Don't know how everyone missed that part in the Epic where it talked about Gilgamesh's twunk cred and genderless love interest; what sort of weird normie world must Lucy inhabit not to have loud anime husbandos, Arthurian waifus, Notable Historically Accurate Pan/Bisexual Sword Maiden Musashi, Dere Death Goddess Ereshkigal, etc. It's almost like Lucy is presently in a game with a lot of individuals from some bananas-ass colorful titty game/anime, a universe of characters of dubious historical accuracy. Between Magisteria's native environs and this shit, a girl must really be feeling it, huh?

"Well, whatever. The point is, supposedly we now have the ability to simply unlock knowledge about technology. Shall we test this? Perhaps by interfacing the gauntlet and that device --" Would that count as cooperation enough to unlock whatever abilities they now possessed? "--that might augment the scan and output something. Ah, what is that device? Hm, it's certainly a more ancient one." He touches his chin. "I think it's called a Rosetta Stone. Simply a rock! Nothing like what we see here. But it was the necessary device for the matter of translation. Simply, we must ask of this technology to translate itself for us. Is that not our right as Otherworlders to ask of it?"

The whole point here was training, so the technology owed it to them to make itself intelligible. But the idea of interfacing -- that was maybe a shot in the dark, not sure if augmentation even worked like that. But maybe the Link had native code translation capabilities, as it were? It's not like programming existed in Gilgamesh's day or anything, no, but being a wise and sagely type, the concept that one would kind of need a translation-to-human was not a foreign concept.
