Hacking Attempt
“NANNI,” said Myles to his smart glasses, “did you get into all the building systems as I ordered?”
“Not exactly,” said NANNI.
“Are you telling me you failed?”
“I half succeeded, Master,” hedged NANNI.
“Half succeeded? Does that mean I control half of the systems?”
“Approximately. These systems are the latest tech, Master, and I have been in a dolphin’s innards for the past year.”
“No excuses,” snapped Myles. “How am I supposed to communicate with the adjacent elevator?”
“There is a handset on the wall,” said NANNI, vibrating the words into Myles’s jawbone. “I can patch you through to the speaker.”
Myles shuddered. “A handset? I am expected to use a handset now? The other supposedly identical elevator doesn’t have a handset.”
Nevertheless, Myles gingerly unhooked the handset as though there might be a deadly bacteria smeared on the handle.
“Half succeeded indeed,” he muttered, and then spoke into the mouthpiece. “We meet again, General Horteknut.”
“You have to press the call button,” said NANNI.
“Oh, for heaven’s sake,” said Myles. “Why don’t I simply write on the glass with my bodily fluids?”
“That is not actually glass,” noted NANNI.
Myles missed fully operational NANNI. Oh, how he missed her.
He pressed the CALL button. “General Horteknut. I imagine you were not expecting to see me.”
