[ Merle whiffed his investigation roll on how to work his comm device, so he thinks he's just recording audio when in fact he's recording (and broadcasting) video. So congratulations, imPorts, you get a close up vertical view of Merle's mouth and beard, as he holds his phone up to talk into it like a walkie talkie. ]

So, uh... Way I understand it is, these things are like a stone of Far Speech, only you can write into 'em or take pictures with 'em [ like he is currently doing ], and everybody who's an imPort who's got one o' these can hear you. And, uh.. People use 'em to ask questions and stuff.

So I'm asking: What do I gotta do to file a workplace complaint about misconduct and, uh, infringement of my free speech at the place I was assigned to? They're really hamperin' my ability to do the job, and, well, I'd like some kind of, uh... recompensation.

[ Somebody got a little too flirty with the plants at work and got in trouble with his bosses. ]

Who's going around leveling buildings?

[...okay, that's weird, but he won't judge.]

Some of the, uh. More explosive imPorts. Maybe not levelling buildings, but y'know. Mass property damage. They really gettin' on your face for some light flirting?

[ Merle shrugs. ]

Eh. Everybody does.

Re: audio

...I mean. They're plants? Who cares. Unless they're, like, living plants, that are clearly telling you to back off, but...

Well, I'm not into seducing dead plants. I'm not a necrophiliac.

[merle...]

I, uh. Meant like plant people. A plant that's literally sentient.

[extremeteenbible]

Oh.

[ ... ]

Yeah, no, that would be weird.

[h2no]
