[ Beta's figure is flitting around the machine excitedly, she's having a blast ]
So, this is mostly speculation based on what I'm seeing, but!
[ she moves to grab something and then appears at the window again to toss a roll of film to Aloy quickly ]
Before the invention of holos or a computerized medium, they had rolls of material that captured the images frame by frame. From the way this looks, they would have had to set this all up by hand to run...So they'd take the long strip, feed it into the machine, and...
[ there's a flash of light on the screen as she adjusts the projector before it begins to kick on. ]
It'd run every single image through at high speed!
[She's not completely surprised by the toss, since she could see the figure move back to the window, but she's making a sound nonetheless when she brings her hands up to catch.
She turns the roll over in her hands, peering closely.]
I suppose that makes sense...what about sound? Or were these meant to be entirely visual?
I want to be able to explore the ruins with you one day. If I can't do this, I can never do that, so--!
[ after a little more scrabbling, she's finally dropping to the floor with a small yelp. she lands fine, arms out to try and balance herself for a moment. ]
You repurposed it from something originally broken in a fight, right? Extensive use may lead to a short-circuit. A component could be old and give out.
[ he's the best sports dog! but he's not a machine, sorry, air bud. ]

[ finally her figure is walking back to the window.
pausing, like she's JUST realized-- ]
...How am I going to get back down?

If you drop down carefully, it should be fine.

[Aloy you literally busted it so that one of its functions no longer works.
It's okay if they just talk through the previews, right? They didn't need to know about Air Bud: Golden Receiver.]

[Casually.
Perhaps if Air Bud wanted them to pay attention, he should have tried being the robot animal from the old Battlestar.]
