[...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.]

...complicated. That sounds like a good word for it, don't you think, Oz? [She turned to Oz to see his answer, then looked back to Maya's face on the screen.]

Do you mind if I ask how long you've been here for?

It can be, I guess. [not agreeing or disagreeing... there are definitely some things he finds complicated but they're probably the most mundane aspects of the tower to just about everyone else. see: computers.]

Oh! If you've been here very long, do you maybe know how many other people are here, too? A rough estimate is fine!

I've been here for about five months, actually.

[ Not sure if that accounts as 'very long', though... ]

And I guess it'd be about a hundred? I'm not really sure.

That long? That many?!

[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...]

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.]

[mayatama]

I don't think there is a maximum capacity?

[ 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.

[That's all well and good but--]

What's a... "burger"?
