[Video -> TEXT] [TRANSMISSION ORIGINATING FROM: LIEGE'S FORTRESS]

[Well... okay he's never seen anything like this before. Is it like a typewriter? Because he knows how to use a typewriter. Four doesn't really understand what a "network" is, but he's determined to find out. He's been told that this will help him communicate with others, and... as frightening as that is, he really, really, really wants to talk with people.

Even the robots, who he figures can't all be bad...

Right?

He plays around with it a little, and accidentally turns on the video function. Tiny optics blink out onto the network, and he continues fiddling around with it until he manages the texting function.]

[Wait, how do you do spaces? Give him a moment, he'll figure this out.]

My name is 4.

There are a lot of machines and living things here. I have never seen anything like you before.

I am living in Liege's Fortress.

I think I'm here so he may examine me.

So our Liege has an interest in you too.

I also wouldn't mind giving you a look over. Which floor are you on?

[4_toteachus]

[Four would mind very much being given a look over.]

I would rather not say.

You do not strike me as the type I would like to meet in person.

Now you've gone and hurt my feelings. :(
