[when it clicks on, have a face full of dirty red headed kid. She looks absolutely delighted by the fact that the console works, and her words seal the deal]

Holy shit, this thing really works?! This is so fucking cool! So, I turned this on and everyone else can hear me, right? This thing’s like a mass phone call or… Oh, wait. Is this what it was like being on TV?

[she pulls out a book from her backpack]

Well, I’m reading a book about anti- gravity… It’s impossible to put down. Pfff. Okay, okay, I won’t read my good ol’ pun book to everyone, but if you ever need a joke, let me know.

Also, I’m looking for someone. His name’s Joel, he’s kind of older, brown hair, talks with a pretty thick Texas accent.

And if anyone knows where I can find a bunch of books in English, that’d be awesome. Last place I went to, they were all in this fucking weird script! No good if you wanna actually read something, you know?

As I understand it, they are people who can manipulate elements: not the scientific sort of elements, but things like water, fire, earth, and air, by moving their arms and legs. I had a waterbender on my crew, before he vanished: he showed me, a few times.

[At the mention of the waterbender in question he droops a little--it has been a while since he has heard anything of Noatak. It is very annoying, how frequently his crew disappears these days.]

So they have super powers, huh. They just call it something different.

Wait, wait, you have a crew? What do you and your crew do?

Oh, well, it is nothing so large as what I have in England: there I have forty men at least: officers and riflemen and runners, not counting my ground-crew. We are all of us in the Royal Aerial Corps, and we fight against Napoleon and Lien and the French, who are trying to take over all of Europe at present.

[And, because he is roughly the size of a small bus at present, and his reduced stature might give her reason to doubt him:] I am normally much larger, at least three times this size: they have shrunk me, you see. Here my crew is--well, it is harder to maintain, when people come and go so often, but we fly drills and hold ourselves ready, as I might at home, in case it should ever come to a fight.
