She nods. "Okay, well, thanks anyway. Uh, yeah, might be neat to get one?"

And in the meantime she'll see if the receptionist knows any more about this sort of thing…

Matt would like a 'cracker', apparently. Because he unfortunately didn't bring his old phone with him.

Hollister will get him one asap!

And the receptionist: is receptionisting.

So Rachel asks her if she knows anything about connecting a phone up to the City's cell network, assuming they have one which they seem to?

She doesn't know, sorry kiddo.

Okay, well, 'cracker' it is, she supposes.

Anything interesting happening or is she just going to while away her time here in her room?

After a bit there'll be a knock on her door.

In that case, she'll go to it and open it!

It's Hollister!

"Hi! So I know a person who knows a person who managed to get these faster than I'd expected," he says, offering Rachel a phone that's identical to his own except for the lack of a cover.

"Oh, thanks!" she says, taking it.

"Sure, no problem, all cool. Say, how're you holding up...? With the Echo thing."

"I'm okay, I think? It's nice to know my family and friends aren't going to suffer with me disappearing or whatever, even though it's kinda weird."

"That's the spirit!" he says as if she'd confessed she was absolutely thrilled by these events. "I can just see it, you'll take this city by the... er... I mean, you'll take this new opportunity and do the best with it!"

"By the horns, perhaps?" she says, smiling a bit. "Yeah, I'll try to."

"Good! Yes, take this city by the horns! You'll do great!" He offers her two thumbs up.

She puts up a thumb too.

...well that just about made his day, no one's ever offered him a thumbs up back! He beams and goes off.

Poor guy.

Back into her room she goes to be horribly boring and check out her new phone. Woo.

Her phone is not bad! Not the latest model or anything but not, like, a decade old, and it works pretty well.

Cool! And does it have internet access? Or at least seem to have connectivity to some sort of cell tower?

Yes to both!

Still cool!

She'll be horribly boring for a bit longer, then go have lunch.

Sarah's there.

Does she look like she wants company?

She doesn't look much of anything. She's just picking at her food a bit detachedly.
