"How would someone find that out.  I don't mean to be uppity, I swear I would be so much less pushy with fewer lives at stake, officer - "

"Well - Rome is in Italy -" He goes back to his computer to look up the country code for Italy. "Okay, try it with a 39 at the beginning."

What?  - Doesn't matter.  "939 or just 39 or 399?"

"Nine, then three nine."

939 et cetera!!

"Can we get more people to try with other lines - does anyone have a mobile phone, I can write down other numbers to call - "

"Maybe the plant already blew up and that's why they aren't answering," someone suggests, but somebody coughs up a cell phone and will accept her directions about what to dial.

"Might be, might not - here's someone who's not there right now - " she scrawls down a number, this one with a locally-appropriate number of digits.  "That's uh - this is all um, ah, assuming I wasn't unconscious for very long when I teleported - actually, swap with me, use this one - " she writes down the first number she tried " - in case it's just that this phone is broken - " dial dial one of her coworker's cells, double-checking against the note she wrote -

"Wrong number," somebody reports, trying the first. Her coworker's cell gets a busy signal.

She checks her note four times and hums the tune that goes along with dialing it and checks it twice more.  "No it isn't; try again.  Please."

He tries again. "Same wrong number and the guy on the other end is really mad that I re-dialed," he reports.

"And you did the 939?"

"Yeah."

"Where is Texas?"

"Fractious States of America," someone says.

"Which is where.  - Is there a map - "

"Ma'am, are you still worried about your power plant blowing up?" someone says. Someone else digs up an old road map booklet and finds the most zoomed out picture in it.

"Extremely, I'm just wondering if you might use an entire different phone system because this number is c - why's this - " she rotates the map 90° and squints at it, then spins it back to read the labels.  "How old is this?"

"Uh, I think I've had that since - '68?"

"I haven't learned a lot of geography but I think these national borders are - different from the ones I'm familiar with."

"I don't think any national borders changed around here recently."

Ellie stares at the map a little more.

"Probably we aren't going to be able to contact my power plant.  It -  I can't think of anything else it's worth trying, can you?"

"Do they have a website?"

"I can try emailing them."

"You can use my computer," someone says. "I want to look heroic and have a good excuse to put off my work."

". . . Okay."  Computer computer.  " - Where's the on symbol?"
