SWITCHBOARD

[transmittable]

If you'd like to ask the Transmitter something over the phone, go right ahead! The Transmitter will answer the phone as soon as she's available. Leaving messages is impossible, given how old these phones are, but you should be able to reach her at almost all hours.

Comments are screened for privacy; all Patients are offered confidentiality, didn't you know?

Comments

[transmittable]

Sorry, there's a lot...

[ But, she trails off, and she's quiet for a moment. Her eventual response sounds empty. ]

...I still try to remember what I can, to talk with you guys and...answer questions.

[carnivorously]

You make it sound like you're more our guide...

[Transmitter...]

Like your job is to give us information in order to succeed. To transmit the information.

[There's a beat.]

You wouldn't be here like this unless you were an essential piece in order to win this game. At least, that's what my theory is starting to become.

[transmittable]

I can't tell you if you're anywhere close to right or not.

[carnivorously]

Because it's against the rules?

[transmittable]

Yup.

[ She sighs. ]

[carnivorously]

And I imagine you get punished if you break the rules you're bound to.

[A sigh...]

Can you confirm or deny if we end up breaking any of the rules we're to follow, if we get sentenced to death?

[It's been a suspicion he's had, but it'd be nice to know... for... reasons. >.>]

[transmittable]

[ An uncomfortable cough. ]

You...really don't WANT to break any rules... That's all, uh, I can...you know.

[carnivorously]

I will take your advice to heart, then.

[Well, the warning is appreciated at least.]
