The Science Center at Cape Kore Network

[Isaac is sitting on his bed, staring at the ceiling, biting at his bottom lip when the feed flicks on, fingers drumming on the bedspread. There's a maybe over-dramatic roll of his eyes.]

So, uh hi. Is this thing on?

[He eyes the device a little bit dubiously, his fingers fidgeting with the fringe of his scarf.]

Uhm, anyway. Kore, hunh? Maybe it's just me, but that recording sounded not-so-friendly. Kind of rather threatening.

[There's a hint of strain in his voice, because he doesn't really know how to do alone. And if he's ever been alone, this is it.]

Anyway. Hi. I'm Isaac. I figured maybe.. there might be other people out there.

[There's a vague wave of fingers before the feed clicks off.]
