'I see Carole and Danielle.' Elizabeth couldn't remember the last time she felt so happy. She couldn't remember when she last felt happy. Camera 4 focused on seven circular safety release valves. Ting was unable to pan or zoom this view. Button 5 surprised Ting. On the mini-screen the interior of the room Ting was sitting in, complete with Elizabeth and Flakey, was there for all to see. “Is this what I look like?” Flakey asked, not too displeased. “Yes,” Ting replied. "but why have a screen that watches what we are doing?" "Maybe there's another room, with another set of buttons."
