[This was unfamiliar technology to Lin, so before she tried making a post, she read the manual from start to finish. This "smartphone" was MUCH more complicated than the ham radio in the interceptor, but she eventually figured it out.]

Hi, I'm Bai Lin. I have a question. I've got that most of us are from different worlds. It's weird, but any time I talk to someone it becomes more and more obvious.

But I'm noticing a trend from talking to you all.

How many people here DON'T come from places where a nuclear war destroyed most of the world's population before you were born?

Like I said, I don't quite understand it either.

I did get to experience it firsthand some time after that, though, so I will at least confirm that it's very very hot.

[fistsofchange]

Sounds like you've had an...interesting life.

Well, I am a journalist. It's my job to know about unusual things.

[fistsofchange]

I see.

[She didn't see.]

What's a journalist?

[bulletnews]

I collect information about unusual or interesting people and events and publish it.

[fistsofchange]

Oh! What a neat idea. Making sure everyone knows what's actually going on before rumors and such get completely out of control.

[bulletnews]

Precisely.

[If only it were that simple, but that's the image Aya wants to project... so she'll leave it at that.]
