[CALL network]

[In Alfie's line of work, waking up to find a mysterious envelope on your bedside table is cause for deep suspicion. He'd scoured the room for anything out of place before he'd even considered opening it - and once he did discover the strange little electronic device, he'd spent a good hour learning how it works before he broadcasted anything. When he's finally ready to make his virtual presence known, he first chooses the open network.]

Right - I've got the worlds idea, yeah? And the aliens, City of Tomorrow - all that. I can read what you're all saying.

[That doesn't mean he necessarily believes it, but he at least doesn't need introductory explanations.]

[Themselves, it sounds like. He'll go somewhere - he's gotten that much, from reading the comments - and it sounds like it'd be easy to return. But this is all completely unfamiliar territory to him, and he is going to be cautious.]

Yeah, these things are kinda futuristically good even for me. We can't afford anything this cool in my house but it showed up so.

Our house only got one when my Ma took over the household, apparently. My grandfather didn't like them.

Oh yeah. That was like... twenty years ago or something?
