"He is good at it but maybe he won't be good with the internet."

"Probably depends how exactly he works. Do you know anyone who knows more about this -"

"The heroes? Library of Alexandria probably does."

"They'll probably tell me not to overthrow the government of Brazil but I wanna overthrow the government of Brazil."

"...and put what there instead?"

"What I actually want to do is just make them let people leave. And maybe make a nice place for people to leave to, or will this country take all of them?"

"I don't know. They took me."

"Good."

"Yeah. It's why I want to be American so much. They didn't need to, but they helped me, and this is what they are."

Nod. "So if I figure out how to make Brazil stop being a dictatorship they probably won't be mad at me."

"They won't, I'm sure."

"Cool." Bounce bounce. "Do you want a thumbnail computer, I don't know if they're intuitive for people from 1994 and I should probably know that before I make them the foundation of my anti-censorship program."

"...sure? What's a... thumbnail?"

Here is a little piece of plastic that fits over her fingertip like a false nail - "tap it against a table or something -"

...she tries that.

There's a holographic display with a keyboard and screen!

She blinks. "How do I—use it?"

"Uh, you can launch a web browser but it's not connected to anything right now because I have no idea how to make Revelation's latest consumer product line work with 1994 Internet. I know the kind of satellites it does work with, and then I could go put them in orbit and then you could talk to anyone else in the world who had one or, I don't know, play games, write things, read the news..."

"But... how?"

"Have you seen a computer? They had computers by 1994 -"

"I know that one?" she half-asks, pointing at the more-modern-than-1994-computer over there in the corner of the room. "It has a—mouse?"

"Oh, right, sorry. You use your thumb to move the cursor, as if there were a trackpad here but I guess trackpads haven't been invented yet -" he makes himself one and demonstrates.

"Okay..." She tries that, and opens a big smile. "It works!"

"Yep! Uh, there's a text editor, there's a photo editor, there's a messaging app and there's the Internet, once I set it up, I think that's about all that comes on thumbnail computers..."

She opens the text editor and taps a few keys, uncertainly. "I'm not very fast," she admits.
