So the transport button definitely works. Holy crap. Did I hit the jackpot or what?

Looks like there's been activity on this thing, too. Are there actually other people out there? [It occurs to him suddenly: did Peter get one of these, too? He bristles at the thought and decides to pursue answers subtly. For once.] Actually, better question: what determines who gets one of these?

Good looks, right? ;)

Okay, but seriously. If you've got some answers, humor me, will you? I'm gonna go exploring.

[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.]

There's just one thing I can't figure out. If I were to push this button here, 'transport' - what would happen? What are we meant to be transporting?

[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.]

[But he can't help but be curious about this second broadcasting channel - one that people don't seem to be chattering away on. A backup, maybe, in case the first goes down?]

Hello. Quiet, eh?
