[Letha's confusion over this new technology is clear from the first moment of the video. She's turned on the camera facing away from her, showing her desk full of neatly organized piles of paper, all forms with neat cursive scrawled across them. The angle is skewed, camera shaky, and she keeps moving it as she tries to figure out the device.]

There's absolutely nothing like this in my world...

[Sure, she'd tried very hard to follow the orientation instructions, but she's handling it much like a grandmother with her first smartphone. She finally gets it turned around, but that just gives viewers a worm's eye view of her shocked face as she sees the unflattering angle and turns it back around to her desk.]

If only I could write on these, it would be so much simpler. Well, anyway. Can anyone hear me? I thought it might be prudent to contact this 'network'... and see if anyone who understands these... inventions better than me could lend me a hand.

[Go easy on her, she's never even seen a telephone or typewriter before.]

I don't think I'll be one of them - if you don't mind, Mr. Ragnarsson.

[She can't imagine any way that calling him 'Boneless' would be preferred.]

My name is Letha Regis. I hope you don't find me rude for failing to introduce myself earlier.

[ragnarsson]

Just Ivar, please.

[Mister made him feel old.]

Don't worry about it. I've never been one much for manners.

[burntbridges]

Manners seem to be very different outside of my world, anyway... barely anyone I've met has liked being called by their family name.

Last names only tell someone who your family line is where I'm from.
