[ Guess who's dialing you up...... this guy? Doesn't really seem familiar. ]

Was this someone's phone number? [ That's not quite right... ]

Does anyone...? Uh, well. [ He clears his throat. Time to leave a message using his Authority Voice. ] Hi, I'm Ryan Brown, from the Locke City Fire Department. If you have any sort of emergency, don't hesitate to give us a call.

Just whose phone number is this, though?

[ But then she couldn't eat chips and stuff as she goes! :C ]

I'm afraid I've yet to get an accurate count!
someone else who has been here longer may know, though.

??? but at le?

Oh I... hit send before I finished.... "at least I'll try" is what I meant. Crap, new it would happen to me eventually. I really don't like text.

I'll see if I can ask about that headcount.

[ Okay, okay, she gives. Have the amused voice of a sixteen-year-old girl. ]

Lemme know what the headcount is, if you find out! And I'll make a note to use voice with you from now on, haha. It's no big.

[ Oh you're really young!! Well dang, he'll protect you and teach you how to stay safe, sure!! ]

Thanks. My phone's kinda small for my hands, to be honest. I'll keep you updated.

No problem! If it's easier for you, it's better to use that. I don't think people really care if you use something different from them, by the way.

Oh. I just thought it'd be weird, talking and getting answers through text... It'd feel like I was talking to myself.

I guess it depends on where you are, really! And people could always think you were on a headset, or something?

Well, I'm at the station... I guess I'll keep it in mind for next time, though. Not like this is the sorta stuff I'd broadcast to the rest of the guys...

Haha, yeah, that might make them look at you just a liiiiiiiiittle bit strangely.

Maybe I'll stick to text too. Use my laptop next time. It works like that too, right?

Yep! Anything you can think of works, as far as I can tell - you just need to get your number onto it. So, uh. Be careful about you write your number on slash say your number into?

Anything, huh? Have people abused that yet? What if it was like, a locker combination or something? [ He's seen people do some dumb things... ]

...You know, I'm not sure how that would work? Would it just show up on the locker...?

Maybe... What if somebody typed in their number in Morse code?

Haha, now I kind of want to try some of these things. I don't think the network translates anything in other languages, so I guess we'd just have legit morse code all of a sudden?

So the receiver would just start printing words? Isn't that kind of creepy?

...You know, I think it kind of is...? I might not try it after all. At least - do you think it would do anything people wrote back in morse code somehow? Or...wow, I'm not sure. I feel like this is an experiment that should be done regardless of the creepy factor!

Well, I know morse code. I could technically tap the number on a table or a wall, see what happens. If the table starts tapping back, I might need to buy a new table, though. Because that's just creepy.

I could try tapping on my phone...

Will you let me know what happens if you do?

I will! Lemme see if I can figure this out...

[ I asked the FAQ and everything, haha. ]

Sure thing. Just lemme know when!

[ EXPERIMENTS RULE. ]

[ OH, THAT DEFINITELY SOUNDS LIKE MORSE CODE.

...she did not think this through. ]

[ PLEASE HOLD as she looks up a guide to morse code and replays that a few times to see if she can't figure it out.

No one ever told her morse code was hard.

Okay if she writes it down and then like...

C/Ps the dash/dot lines into an online generator...

she probably missed a letter or two, but context clues say: ]

Did you ask if I could understand that?

[ This reply comes about ten minutes later.

HA...HA... ]

Yep! Good job. [ He's snickering a little. ]

This Network thing is pretty versatile.
