[Video] [NOT locked to New Hires]

[wheyoftheadept]

[Saturday is sitting up in an infirmary cot, swaddled in bandages - including her throat.  The tablet is hovering in front of her, near her head, and her heavily bandaged hands are obscured in her lap.  She's focusing fiercely on whatever she's got there, and appears to be typing.

In a moment, the distorted voice of Alexa reads out what she's trying to say.  The speakers on the table are just good enough to hear it, though it sounds reverb-y and echoed.]

 Hey.  Just wanted to join the sickposting club.  It's really fucking boring here -

[The robotic way Alexa breaks 'fucking' into two distinct syllables briefly cracks her up]

 - and I can't talk or even use my hands that much.  Also Alexa keeps correcting my grammar.  Doctor says I am gonna heal up though, one hundred percent.  So, what did I miss?  And does anyone wanna come keep me company?

IF ENEMIES WERE CONSISTENTLY SLOWER AND STUPIDER, THEY WOULDN'T BE ENEMIES. BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME USING THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP.

NO, THEY WOULD ALL BE DEAD TOO WERE IT NOT FOR THE INTERVENTION OF AN OUTSIDE FORCE. AN UNKNOWN VARIABLE.

[She doesn't like that. It's too messy. The break in her messages is long, long enough that maybe she had turned her comm off, but when the next beep comes through, it's no longer all caps. It took awhile to find the button like Beckett described, okay.]

Is there really no less tedious option than to hold down multiple keys to make it properly capitalized?

[Shift keys are annoying to manage when you have bitty hands and peck at the keyboard like a grandma.]

bet you half a dollar the helper's someone stuck here just like us - just cause they ain't solid, Jorg couldn't pin them down.

and nah you gotta us the shift key.... It's not actually that hard. I just got used to doing it the other way because my phone back home restarts every time I try to capitalize.

[She is definitely, definitely showing off.]
