Team (dis)Harmonics

It's unfortunate I can't leverage the capabilities of the EVA toward building the EVA itself.

A pun, of course. :)

But a distortion-free and instantaneous mode of interaction would cut through so much of this "overhead" that interaction in spoken language introduces. Hopefully with that, the task of working with and managing (bargaining!) with others should be greatly eased as well?

Our coder has quit us, or left us, either way we're left weeks into the project hunting for an entirely new lead programmer. No - this is not an optimal position. I believe this excerpt from our "in-world" chat conveys my discomfort:
