001 [video]

[facilitating]

[Hello, Old City. First-timer to the network here, not like she'll act the part.]

I haven't had time to do much digging around, so I don't know whether or not this is any kind of plausible, but if anyone's tripped over an old computer or even some kind of smart-phone, I'd bet the completely useless cash-contents of my wallet that I can not only get it working again, but set up some kind of alternative network. Trust me, it's... kind of my job.

[She offers a slight grin, in general good humor rather than any specific amusement.]

Bonus points if you have any clue where I can find some coffee. Quality is completely irrelevant at this point--I'm not sure if caffeine deprivation really exists, but if I have any kind of a choice, I'd rather not pick now to find out.


[to those with modern-day cell phones or laptops]

[The next time you turn on your phone or laptop, you'll find a message waiting for you. For phones, a text. For computers, what looks like an e-mail, but alerted on the desktop rather than through a specific e-mail client.]

Attempt number four to make contact with compatible devices. If you read me, a heads up would be fantastic.

There was a computer in the ship. I'm not sure how functional. [Wing shrugs. It was all scaled for people much smaller than he is.]

Thanks, I'll check it out.

I wish you luck. The programming is in some foreign script that the others haven't been able to read.

[One of the few times she regrets no longer being the unwilling host to a corruptive and parasitic alien supercomputer. If she were, she'd be able to decipher the script in an hour, maybe two. As it is?]

It's worth a try, anyway. Who knows, I might just get lucky.
