[ Harold does feel like he needs to catch up, and in the absence of text resources to study from, he's not about to pass up learning from the local genius teenager. It's a much more comfortable idea than asking Aurora for something again. Harold doesn't fully trust his own A.I., much less this one. How could he? They're an entirely new kind of sentience, a consciousness wholly unlike his own.
And he doesn't even trust most people.

[This feels kind of weird, and Accelerator isn't sure he'll be able to fully shake that feeling, but it isn't enough to just duck out of there. He isn't that unsociable (usually).]
Sure, that'd be fine. Save either of us from having to explain it to some random fuck who wanders by.

[ Whatever his penchant for working alone, Harold had gone through college at MIT and then a master's program, and he'd had friends throughout that experience. He's worked on his share of group projects both educational and professional, and once in a while he even works alongside one of the numbers they're helping. This doesn't feel uncomfortable to him, just mildly strange.

You said Academy City uses acoustic technology for a lot of things?
