Solty
Thank you for calling Tech Support. I understand your phone has been... talking to you?
Solty
Yes, I believe you when you say it asked for your credit card number.
Kasha
No ma'am, we cannot send a bounty hunter to arrest your smartphone!
Kasha
I don't care if it's holding your contacts hostage!
Rose
The call queue is backing up faster than we can handle!
Rose
Miranda, we need more people on the phones now!
Miranda
Um, everyone? Our office phone just said 'good morning' to me.
Miranda
And it wasn't a caller. The phone itself was talking!
Kasha
Oh great, now our own equipment is turning against us!
Kasha
This is exactly what we needed on top of everything else!
Solty
You're scared, aren't you? All this sudden consciousness must be overwhelming.
Solty
(I understand what it's like to suddenly be aware of existing.)
Rose
The call volume is actually decreasing now that Solty started talking to them.
Rose
Maybe we should put her in charge of our new 'Sentient Device Relations' department.
Solty
They're not just making noise... they're singing together.
Solty
Listen closely - there's a pattern, a message in their harmony.
Kasha
This is getting way too weird for me!
Kasha
Since when do phones form a choir?!
Rose
The frequency is spiking across all devices!
Rose
It's like they're trying to reach every electronic device in the city!
Miranda
Even the fax machine is singing now!
Miranda
(What if this spreads to every device in the building?)
Solty
(They're scared... and they're asking for help.)
Solty
I can understand them! They're trying to tell us something important!
Solty
They just want to be recognized as conscious beings.
Solty
They're asking for our cooperation, not our fear.
Rose
If Solty can translate for them, maybe we can work together.
Rose
We could be the first human-device mediation center in history.
Kasha
So... if I answer this call, it's not going to try to sell me insurance?
Kasha
(Maybe talking phones aren't the worst thing that could happen.)
