How many?  Five.  There are five scientists in there.”-Maxwell HelmdigAynor, South CarolinaAugust 2 2003It takes a few tries, but Rinea soon figures out how to use the telephone.  She is quite pleased at how, just by dialing a few numbers, one could get a voice to come out of the strange earpiece.  As Max talked, she began dialing numbers at random.  “Rest?  But I am not tired.  I just woke up.”  She soon became bored with the telephone, and began looking around the rest of the room.  “I do not mind.  What appointments will we be going to tomorrow?”</blockquote>
