"Yeah," she replies, her smile easing into a grin. "It's weird for everyone."
The Nexus has a way of making everyone equals. It's how someone as timid as Adia has managed to thrive.
Oh... he doesn't know what texting is. Shoot. "Um, some devices let you send text messages. This is what I use..." She pulls out of her messenger bag a small electronic device that looks like a glorified stopwatch. "It's called a PINpoint. There is a vending machine that dispenses them in the Plaza. It's what I use to get here and back from my ship, but it can also send and receive texts."
She shows it to him without letting go of it. He can look as long as he likes, but this is her only lifeline to the Chiron, the portal she originally stumbled through long gone. She's not about to hand it to someone else, not even a nice guy like Freddy.
"It gets voice messages, too, so you can call it if you want instead. I'll find a way to get back to you."
