exsilium | [text]

Are YOU talented? Do YOU have a story to tell? Do YOU like to tinker? Do YOU want to get the word out about something? Or are YOU just tired of all this idiotic infighting between us and the Exiles and want to do something about it? Then contribute to Radio Free Exsilium. Radio Free Exsilium is a not-for-profit public radio enterprise that will be launching in several weeks' time. The stated goals of this enterprise are as follows: 1.) Provide a single, unified news and emergency broadcast system for both Transports and Exiles. 2.) Provide a venue for Transports to showcase their talents and entertain their fellow city-dwellers, thereby raising morale of both Transports and Exiles. 3.) Encourage enterprise by providing a low-cost platform for advertisement. 4.) Counter the propaganda broadcast by the United Earth by creating a platform for Transports to speak directly to Exiles. So how can you help us accomplish these goals? Donate. You can buy advertising time or just give us cash. All money you donate will be invested directly into Radio Free Exsilium. It's even tax-deductible! Work. We need technicians, engineers, and mechanics to help us set up our broadcast and to help us produce radios to distribute to the Exiles. Compensation is negotiable. Volunteer. Even those without experience can be trained as technicians to help launch this enterprise. And, once it is launched, we'll be looking for volunteers to broadcast music, stories, shows, comedy routines, news, weather, etc. over our network. Interested? Reply to this posting or contact Sofiya Karimov directly. And for those of you not really into reading big blocks of text: We're starting up a radio to make the Exiles hate us less; get involved if you're tired of getting beaten up.

Well, I suppose if you need the help, I will volunteer my amazing technological skills!

[This guy
why is his hair like that]

Neat. What's your background?

I am the fontech genius from auldrant, the one and only Dist the Rose

[Ahem.]

I have been building machines since I was a mere child prodigy.

[This face, forever.]

That's...so great. Sorry, bear with me a moment, Mr. Rose, but...What's fontech?

[Is a good reaction.]

Combining technology and fonons. Not entirely different from the technology in this place.

I believe I already have an idea of how to make this little...radio-thing of yours work.

[Dist does seem a little bit flamboyant, and a little bit loud, but, hey, ideas. She likes those.]

Go on.

Well, it's really quite simple. If I construct a device that broadcasts at a certain fonic frequency, and then attune the receiving devices to that frequency, there should be no loss in signal until extreme distances are reached. It would not interfere with the communications devices that we are using now, and should only be received by devices tuned to that exact frequency.

[He looks very pleased.]

Not entirely unlike these communication devices we've using now, but without the picture- just sound. Old recordings could be saved and stored on fon data discs, as well, to be replayed as needed.

i didn't know we paid taxes in the first place
though i do like the idea of being hated less

[Okay, he's actually talking some sense. Even if his hair does look weird.]

I actually think that's exactly what I need.

[Well, at least someone questioned it, even if they didn't quite get the joke.]

It still counts as tax-deductible; you get a rebate on 0%! So what sorts of services can you volunteer?

[ He'd text back, but... his hands are kind of big. That never ends well, so he doesn't bother. ]

Hey, not bad. I'll definitely get some advertisin' space.

[Sonya flashes a smile at him, not even remotely troubled by the change in medium.]

Neat. What'll you be advertising?

What is radio?

[That throws her a little bit for a loop - but yes, duh, obviously there'd be people with different levels of knowledge.]

Hi. Okay, so, it's - basically, you know how you can use this thing to communicate with people just using your voice?

[A smile!]

That's a really good idea! I'm not really good with technology or anything, but how much money would be useful?

[On the one hand: money. On the other hand: accepting money from a kid. Her mercenary instincts immediately go to war with her big-sister instincts.]

Well, to keep this up and running, according, we're going to need about 500 per month. At least at first. We have start-up costs as well, of course. You interested in helping out?

Is that really gonna work? Singing and dancing and hoping people stop getting jumped or whatever?

Yes. Is it something similar?

[Sonya's voice is cheerful, playful, and self-assured.]

Well, first, we can't do dancing yet. No visuals to go with.

Pretty much, yeah, with a few differences. It's a lot cheaper to do, first off, which is what's most important in this situation. And people can only hear it - they can't respond.

Yeah! Maybe like, um, 25 a month? Would that be okay?

Well, we've got to check your credit first. You have a job?

I know, I just--doing this sort of thing. Will it make that much of a difference?

... I'm not trying to be a downer. Just wondering, that's all.

Additionally, if we were to incorporate-

Wait, that sounds like what you need?

[He looks very proud of himself. He's not used to people agreeing with his theories so quickly!]

Of course it does. I am a GENIUS, after all!

Hard to say. I think it will. United Earth's done a good job dehumanizing us; we want to reverse that process, and I think that'll help.
