But that's the problem! These should have come with a how-to guide to access things like the music player, the video/audio recorder, the temperature gauge--even a little laser light guide for when you want to put up shelves! But that guide isn't here. Not on either of yours. You have the correct model of the CAT device, but the software lacks all the extra drivers and fixtures. I bet you can't even change--[changes the shape of Nine's CAT into its pin form]--well, at least you can do that.
[she falls silent while she plugs away at both CATs] Both of you ought to be able to record messages and live conversations now, except I gave you a tiny little red light instead of the big glowing thing Iussus wanted. Only wanted it that way because he thought the light would be intimidating.
Anyway. [she sighs and hands the CATs back to them] The most important functions on these, you already know how to use. You can message people with a video, strictly audio, or text only, and I've seen plenty of you doing that just fine. But you mentioned something about an unregistered CAT device, huh...? [takes a drink of her water] That's another thing that isn't right. All CATs are supposed to be registered, due in part that there's a little GPS signal inside that tracks your whereabouts. It's part of the reason you can't leave a room without it. It lets any CAT user know where to find you if you go into the Town Directory and look them up. [pulls out her CAT, taps Sophie's name and picture, and it shows a little arrow on the screen pointing at the White Rabbit--then turns it around to show them] See?
But if it's unregistered, then that person can go about as they please and wander around without a CAT. They're virtually untraceable. That is...until they contact a registered user. Then there is a chance they can be traced, but it's awfully difficult.
