[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.

[The Doctor offers a crooked smile. He's back in his hospital room, reluctantly. He's still wearing his frock coat over his gown, though.]

I've not seen any computers myself, but Edmund would be the man to ask.

Any chance there's more than one Edmund around? The one I talked to wasn't exactly the most helpful person I've run into.

He can be - for a certain price. I may be able to help with that, I've been doing a fair bit of scavenging.

...Or, rather, I was.

[She sounds amused now.] How mysteriously vague. Not that it's any of my business, but that has 'stuck at the hospital' written all over it. [Though if the network's anything to judge, he isn't the only one stuck.]

[He can't help but grin.]

Oh, blast, I've been found out.

So I have to ask: How bad is it? On a scale of 'the doctors are paranoid' to 'quadriplegic'.
