[It looks like Alice has found the Third Floor library, and with it, the network terminals housed within. Unfortunately, she has no idea what a "network terminal" is in the first place, as she just stares at the item in question. She's certainly curious about it, but seems at a loss over what to do next, keeping her eyes focused on the device.]

I certainly hope you were placed here with more than just the intent of taking up space.

[She has to realize that she's being recorded at that very moment, having failed to notice that an earlier push of the buttons actually turned on the video function.

Being from Victorian Era London doesn't leave you with much in the way of technological prowess.]

A library on the third floor, it would seem.

... I thank you for your willingness to teach me.

[Suzaku goes to the library and looks around until he finds the girl he was talking to.] Hello?

Yes, hello.

[He nods again] So what did you want help with first?

You mentioned that it can additionally allow me to communicate to others through speech and text. I'd like to learn how to accomplish that.

[Suzaku nods] See these three buttons? [He points to them] You pressed the one for video, but this one is for speech and this one for text. [He leans back so he could try them]

A simple press of the button is all that's needed? It all sounds so simple.

It is quite simple, you have to make sure you are on this screan. [He points to the main network page] But most people leave it on that page when they finish on the computers.

Another question. Are these devices as reliable as they are capable?

No [This is a gentle as Suzaku gets, I am sorry Alice]

They are very unreliable, filters often backfire, and I doubt any filter stops our captors from seeing what we write anyways. Sometimes they break, voice doesn't work or video, and there's often a lot of static.

If they're truly as faulty as you've described, why has nobody offered to fix them? Surely someone here must possess the knowledge to do so.

I believe some have tried. I wouldn't be suprised if they were faulty on purpose...

So we're simply left with these then... How kind of them to provide us with such devices.

[Suzaku shrugs] As long as you don't expect privacy they are useful for communication.

While I can see how they would remain useful, I would rather choose a more traditional method of communicating with others.

[He nods] Sometimes people are hard to find though.

Perhaps they've chosen that for themselves.

Well for those that have they simply would not answer on the network either. I was speaking of the times where people were just hard to find due to the size of the tower.

The Tower... It does seem to be much larger than I had first realized. I wonder why that is.

I am not sure, it changes unfortunatly. It has grown since I have been here. [It didn't make sense, that floors had just appeared overnight.]

Change is something I can adapt to well enough, fortunately.

That is good. Things change a lot here.

I was once told that change was good, the "first link in the chain of forgetting..."

Your thoughts on that, if you don't mind?

Well progress is always good, change... it depends on the change in question.

Some changes are not good.

No, some changes aren't good at all. Neither is forgetting.

[He nodded] You should always try to change the things that are bad, but never forget them or you might repeat those mistakes again.
