Technology is Fun - 001 [Audio]

Good day, my name is Jeeves. I am given to understand this device has some extraordinary broadcasting ability akin to a radio or television, but with multi-way communicative properties. I have been here only a short time and require some assistance, for which I will gladly work in trade.

I have created one of the creatures known as a spirit. I have been led to believe that the animal serves some useful function as protection in this realm against nightmares of a similar build, but alternate coloration. The Komory Bat now in my possession defies all training and disciplinary methods with which I am familiar for service animals. I would deeply appreciate some instruction on their care and control. It has taken to fluttering around me in a highly distracting way. Thank you.

I have also been informed this device has some archival function. If it may be accessed readily, I should like to know how.

Well, hearts do come in all shapes and sizes and numbers. [He smiles wryly, like he's commenting on an inside joke.] And then we have to wonder how much of a sleeping world is regulated, if many of its "normal" functions--whatever those may be--are shut down.

[He's silent a bit as he ponders the rest of what Jeeves says, but he just laughs.]

Planet Equality. That would be an interesting turn of events.

Stranger events live within the annals of history, philosophy, and the queerest imaginings of Man, sir. [Jeeves offers the smallest of head tilts along with a quirk of his lips.]

And perhaps its normal processes are guided by the unknown entity Ms. Chell indicated as keeping watch over the communications on this network? But then, the body does continue to function and regulate our anatomy even without consciousness. I would hope whatever sympathetic nervous system might exist would maintain at least vital processes within dreaming worlds. That would be the purview of a world's brain more than its heart, though, unless we might consider them one and the same for the purpose of this thought experiment.

[He grins. He likes you, Jeeves.]

I wonder how one would even access the heart or mind of a world, not that it should be common knowledge. I'm sure that it could be horribly abused if it was.

[The feeling is surprisingly mutual for a gentleman with such an eccentric appearance. This has been a most enjoyable conversation, though.]

A doorway known to few? One locked by a force only those with knowledge of it might find the keys to? Her Royal Highness said that some form of keyhole allows us to reach new worlds and play most prominently in recurring dreams here. If such gateways of power exist, perhaps there might be others leading to the world's inner-workings rather than just away.

A keyhole leading to other words... [He says this more to himself.] That does reasonably sound like it could then also lead to the inner-workings. [If all their hypothetically speaking hasn't been completely off-base.] I'd like to get a look at something like that, one day. [He looks wistful. He thinks of the heart of the TARDIS and wonders just how similar it could be.]

The others here have unlocked worlds, sir. I'm certain we might impress upon them the need for further discovery within worlds if we are to fully understand what has brought us here. Provided it is within the realm of possibility, of course. A depth of knowledge so oft proves just as important as a breadth when finding a solution to any problem.

It certainly allows for one to improvise more readily should there be a need for it.

[He nods in agreement.] Any knowledge, even the smallest scrap, could help us in this matter... Maybe someone has overlooked something.

To that end, I plan on an extensive review of the communicator archives. I would be happy to share any results with you, Doctor.

[Oh. Is it Christmas? He definitely feels like it's Christmas.] That'd be fantastic. If I find anything of note, I can do the same.

[It's got to be Christmas somewhere for all the worlds and times represented by the dreamers here.

Jeeves tips his hat.] My thanks. [He pointedly leaves off the 'sir.'] I'll look forward to contacting you just as soon as I have more information. Perhaps we might meet in the tea shop sometime to discuss further.

I can't turn down a good cup of tea.

Nor could any Englishman with sense enough in him. Good day for now. [He is feeling almost 'chummy,' as Mr. Wooster would put it, toward the other man as he ends the communication. It's rare for him to find an enjoyable conversation companion straight off, though.]
