[...it seems two of the Tower's more recent acquisitions have discovered the network terminals in the third-floor library, and are entirely computer illiterate.
Someone should turn on video and scare the crap out of them.]

But after a moment of (slightly concerned) thoughtfulness, he places a hand on the screen again.]
Say, doesn't it seem similar to a looking glass like this? [with all of his leaning and poking at things, he may have just switched them to a video feed himself whoops]

What's a ... camera?
[They don't have cameras in Weyard! She looks at Oz for a second.] Have you ever heard of those?
[And then, some very slow typing...]
I'm not sure what you mean by that but I guess it's good you're not trapped in there.
video/text;
I've seen cameras before, but they're used to take pictures. Still pictures, I mean! I haven't seen one that could take moving pictures before. [And since she's already better than he is at typing, despite her sad speed, he badgers her to be the messenger again:]
Can you ask them how they used the camera and where to find one?
video/text;
[She looks down at the keyboard again and hurriedly types, hoping to get his question in before Maya responded to her first message.]
how did you use the canera and whered you find it can we get them to?
[...rushing her typing didn't go very well for her.]
video; whoops sorry about that
[ Maya places her hand on her chin, obviously attempting to think all of this through. ]
There should be a button on the computer that says 'record', or a big red circle, I think. I'm not that great at using these myself, actually.
[ BUT SHE'S GETTING BETTER... ]
video; haha no worries! :'D
[Sheba looked for the button... but oh! What's that? There was a little red light...]
Um... I think one of us might have pressed it already, by accident... can you see us?

So, is this thing the camera? [It's pretty huge and flat and weird for a camera!]
video;
[ An enthusiastic nod from this end. ]

This tower has some incredible things in it!

Do you mind if I ask how long you've been here for?
video;
Oh! If you've been here very long, do you maybe know how many other people are here, too? A rough estimate is fine!
video;
[ Not sure if that accounts as 'very long', though... ]
And I guess it'd be about a hundred? I'm not really sure.
video;
[There was no way she'd met everyone who was in this Tower, then. And what must have it been like to have been here for such a long time? She'd hadn't even been here for a few weeks and sometimes she already felt like she was going crazy...]
How do you bear it?
video;
Do you know what the maximum occupational capacity of the tower is? [RANDOM QUESTION seemingly, but it's been on his mind for a bit.]
video;
[ Maya just shrugs it off. Five months isn't as long as, well, other people. ]
And I just make friends and know that everything will be fine -- oh, and eat burgers. A lot of burgers.
video;
[That's all well and good but--]
What's a... "burger"?
