She can see the practical value in that, but at the same time, missing all the visual cues so important in conversation? Geez... and needing to be good at moderating tone, to boot. (Of course this is where her mind goes.) At the same time, it's a perplexing, curious reality. ]
[ That...... makes sense, actually. How all this is being transferred - and that! That word is one she latches on to and turns over mentally. Transferring vibrations of sound... transferring letters in sequences. If telegrams had even existed she might better understand in a familiar sense, but as it is, she's cobbling together an understanding from vague senses of "this and that add up to another thing altogether." ]
Hm... is there a limit to the distances over which this functions? Or is the... network you're talking about maintained by the Neheda itself?
[ Something large and up on high might be able to manipulate the way things were transferred, and how far. If she starts thinking of it as being an invisible relay... or if anyone explains waves to her................ ]
[Both are good questions. He's pondered over the how of it the past couple of months, though full understanding still eludes him. But he knows the answers, at least.]
Last I checked, they're good wherever you go. Ghost's the guy who manages the network. He'd probably know the nuts and bolts of it. [It reminds him that he's got to ask about it at some point in the future.]
[ Her Instructor. Annie keeps that in mind, much as she takes those words - manages the network - and decides then and there that anything she writes or speaks about on this blackglass or her cuff will have to be what she doesn't mind being public to their superior officers. At all times.
Paranoia or wise steps taken? Sometimes they're the same thing. ]
I may get around to asking him... eventually. Sometime after introductions.
[ Will anything he say really make sense to her? She's not sure. Her best chance is in trying... or talking to recruits who've been trying to learn, who may have ways of explaining she better relates to. ]

How?

I'm sure it's got something to do with transferring the vibrations of sound through whatever's composing the network.
