Okay, so the lady at the desk says that you're supposed to use this thing to talk to other people, right?

[ The camera sweeps around the foyer of the McAran Tower, stopping briefly on the receptionist's face before finally stopping on the face of the owner of the device. She's deathly skinny, with a pale yellowish tone to her skin that suggests malnutrition. Her hair hangs around her face like straw, unkempt and ragged. And she's only a teenager, a young one at that. ]

Hi. I'm Azula, I'm here because I'm a refugee from the unpleasant aftershocks of a hundred year long war finally ending. I'm broke, I'm homeless...I don't even have clothes or shoes.

[ She sweeps the device down her body. She's wearing a thin hospital gown that's covered in dirt in ways that suggest it's been worn for several months in a row, and she has a single house slipper on her foot, the other one had fallen off while she was trying to get a hold of the CALL device despite being restrained. Some kind person has removed said restraints, but the bruised abrasions where the shackles had originally gone are visible on her skin, some of them reddish with infection. ]

I'll...rebuild my dignity later, can someone buy me some clothes? And a cup of tea if you really want my undying gratitude.

'Chaos And Destruction'? What's that mean?

Well aren't you just fiendishly clever. Everyone bow down before this man's wit and cleverness, he is clearly a god among men to be gifted in such a way.

Now, if your ego's been sufficiently beaten off, you know damn well what the meaning behind the question was. You can either answer it, or leave.

My goodness. Touchy, aren't you. You press your little transport button yet? The woman behind the desk in McAran Tower who will explain all you like.

I spoke to her at length, but when she said to me that different people have access to different, hidden networks, I thought it best to not openly declare my alignment. Whatever 'alignment' that may be. Why, are you the type to go blithering off to all and sundry what details you ought to keep private?
