"Now we've got to train using the appraisal function."
Will asked "Why do we need to train this function? I mean, isn't it a simple function, like those in anime's and whatnot?"
"Will, in anime, they have something called plot armor. We do not. In reality, everything will be appraised regardless you aim at it or not. You need to consciously think of appraising that specific object before the watch gets its data to you, otherwise you will see everything all at once. Try it now."
Will aims the watch towards the warehouse, and immediately gets a painful headache from all the information flooding to him:
Object: Brick.
Description: Clay shaped object that has solidified after contact with intense heat. Is useful for many construction applications.
Object: Screwdriver.
Description: An old, rusted screwdriver. Made of high grade carbon steel at Jones Steel Foundation. Used for 20 years. Very handy and reliable to use for extended time.
Object: Wheel rim.
Description: A 40 cm diameter circular plate commonly used to hold rubber wheels in place, and to connect the car shaft and the wheels together. Manufactured in Doyoda car factory at 12/03/2005.
Object: Paint.
Description: A mixture of red, blue and purple at the ratio of 2:3:5 to achieve this shade of color. Was painted 12 years ago as a cover up for the illegal gambling den that was set up here.
Object: Lawnmower.
Description: An amalgamation of mismatched parts to create a DIY lawnmower. Was used for 3 years before an unfortunate accident involving a toaster and an inflatable pool. Ouch.
There were more information coming to Will, but it got too much for him to handle, which at that moment Amy shut of the appraisal function.
"Why was there so much unnecessary information. I mean I get the ratio of how much to how much was used to get the specific color of a paint, but why did I need to know what it was used for. I never asked for it." Will complained as he rubbed his head from the headache he got from the influx of information.
"This is why I said we should train on how the appraisal function is used. The first time you were really lucky, as I managed to stop the influx of information in time so that your brain does not get overflooded. If it happens again, I don't know how to help you again. So we must be prepared for this, and the quickest way is for you to experience how it feels like getting all the information at once, get used to it and make sure that it never happens again."
"Really?"
"No, I was joking with you."
Will realizes in shock that Amy just pranked him for the first time. He hides this information, and plans to ask her when the right time comes about why and how she did it.
"All jokes aside, the correct way is to decrease the specs of the search function. You do this by thinking what key information you want to be displayed, and the watch should tell you all the answer. However, this usually takes some time, and to shorten this, we must train for the next two hours constantly before we leave. This along with the mapping function will be what you will train for, for the next few days until the agents stop snooping around, so get going champ!"
