[Clickity-click. Hi guys. Hope you weren't hoping for a damsel in distress asking IS THIS THE REAL LIFE, because all you're getting from Shea the Bright Little Crayon is a very long, dramatically pitched,]

Hello-ooooooo?

[And pause.]

Man, this is some fancy gadget. Don't see the maker's name anywhere.

[Yes, that would be the sound of her shaking it to see if anything jingles inside. Now that's the sign of good workmanship. You're lucky she didn't just decide to sell it off.

(She's lucky, actually. But moving on.)]

Anyway-! I'm feelin' kinda lost right now, but I'm guessing one or two of you might be able to help me out? I'm looking for my big sis. Her name's Riley. Long brown hair, eyes like this, [she presses her fingers against the corners of her eyes and pulls softly,] Always smoking or talking about our bike. Always dresses in black, too. Can't be hard to miss!

[And yep! That's pretty much it. But after a beat her voice becomes a little distant, suddenly groaning with slight discomfort.]

Man, I should not have eaten that thing...

Anyway - thanks! Bye.

[Well you've caught the scientist slash doctor slash alien's attention. Have some useless information you probably didn't want.]

'Gadget' referred to as omni-tool. Number of makers. Aldrin Labs, Ariake Technologies, Armali Council, Kassa Fabrication, Serrice Council, Sirta Foundation, Elkoss Combine and small manufacturers for military grade SPECTRE devices. Personal omni-tool custom designed.

[He inhales through his nose.]

Have not seen friend. Will be certain to pass along information.

[All of that is a bit rushed. It's not really the part he's concerned about.]

Having intestinal difficulties? Must inquire as to meal. Able to determine whether appropriate for human consumption.

Probably harder to miss if you don't really know anyone around here.

[ a beat ] What'd you eat?

You want to find your family?

I'm afraid I haven't seen anyone by that description. And I would remember if I did.

I'm still gaining my own bearings. You might want to be careful with that "fancy gadget", I have a feeling we'll be at a loss without it.
