--What is this? I'm certain I've never seen the like. Oh-- it seems to have come on.

[HI PROSPERO you're seeing a new face right now. She genuinely seems to have no idea what her cell phone is-- it's a miracle (or act of Mun) that it even turned on.]

[Which just means it's getting turned every which way, as the young woman on the other side seems to be trying to figure out a.) what it is, b.) what it does, and c.) how it works.]

Oh, I wish I had my tools. If I could take it apart, maybe...!

[Maybe she could figure a, b, and c out on her own.]

[Or I suppose you could tell her.]

[That might work.]

Would you take apart your primary means of communication here?

[SORRY LEDAH, the phone just got dropped. Thankfully, face-up.]

Ah--! It spoke?!

[Eventually, she edges back over to it and peers at the face on the screen.]

[And for the record, she will take it apart eventually. Fff.]

Curious-- a window? No, that can't be it. Ah...

[This is confusing.]

Excuse me. Could you explain what this ah... device is?

[He'll just wait for her to get herself together.]

This is referred to as a 'cell phone' and is a method for contacting people over a distance. Many people now possess them for their ease of use.

[...This is the coolest thing ever.]

It is? How does it work? How is it that I can hear you-- and presumably see you?

[How very curious. She definitely needs to examine this further now.]

I understand the function better than I do the methods, but it seems to work consistently, at least.

...I see.

[She will definitely have to take it apart, now.]

I should probably find someone to show me how to use it, then.
