Hello..?

[Have yourself a twelve year old girl testing the water on the shiny new thing and mumbling to herself a little as she does.]

...I hope I'm doing this right.

[Oh right. The people can hear her. Sarah takes a deep breath and gets to talking.]

I uh, gotta say, this is some real crazy stuff going on. I don't even know where to start makin' sense of any of it. The Kedan people, the ones that work here? I think they work here. Live here? I dunno. They explained a lot of stuff but I'm still trying to wrap my head around even being here.

[Sarah pauses. When she speaks again it's with a little less certainty.]

Do they ever make mistakes with who they bring here? I'm not sure I'm the monster fighting type.

[Not real ones anyway.]

Wait really? No cameras?

[That sucks!]

Huh. I guess there'll be a lot of things from home that aren't here. I didn't think of that.

[Welcome to his life. "His life" being from the year 2041 and everything here being crazy low-tech compared to what he's use to.]

Yeah, it's a real drag. [A shrug.] But ask around and see if someone has a camera, if you really want to use one. Some people have tech here that they don't mind lending out.

Where do they get it from? I mean if it's not from here, then from where?

Sometimes things just sort of wash up from our homes and you can find them. Like -- [he takes a moment to grab a family photo he owns, with him, his mom, dad and younger brother.] -- I found this pic of my family a while ago when the turtle stopped at land. You just gotta keep your eyes open.

[She leans a little closer, trying to see the picture better though... screen don't really work like that.]

...Whoa. That's really cool. How often does the turtle stop?

[modernized]

Not sure. It only stopped once since I came here a couple months ago, so not too often I guess.

[She nods and leans back.]

Hmm... Well, it's good to know anyway. When we stop next time, I'll be ready for it. Thanks for the heads up.
