Look! There’s an event at the residence of the K57S.

Ben

There sure is a lot of agitation.

Is your brother still there?

I believe so.

Maybe we should listen to the news and catch up with what we’ve missed.

No doubt the same circus that was there when we left!

I’d like to know if Lu got the award for Actress of the Year. She was amazing in the series Ra.

She deserves it — her path to success has not been easy.

I could wait a little longer to be befuddled again with political rhetoric!

It depresses me that such rhetoric guides decisions that so dramatically impact our lives.

Rejoice, Ben! The news signal is not coming in. You’ll be able to wait a little longer.

No signal! Are other stations coming in?

No. Nothing.

I get nothing on my phone, either.

Maybe the network is down.

It would be surprising; the phones and the car connect on completely independent networks.

Bo, tell me if the navigation system is functional?

Good question. The trip was programmed in advance. I’m looking ...

No. No connection.

That’s strange.

Flo! Can something cause interference?

I don’t think so. Few phenomena are known to have such effects.

Moreover, my terminal successfully receives the reference signal from the central station. It seems that there are just no signals being emitted.
