<h1>RTFM</h1>

<!-- perspective: Annie -->
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Annie rings the doorbell and waits. Nobody answers. She checks that
|
|
she's at the right door – yes, this is grandpa Karl's
|
|
apartment. She rings again. A window on <span class="comment">in?</span>
|
|
one of the adjacent houses opens and she hears Isabelle quietly
|
|
calling her.<br />
|
|
<span class="quote speech">Annie, we're over here.</span><br />
|
|
She walks over.<br />
|
|
<span class="quote speech">Which door?</span><br />
|
|
<span class="quote speech">Number 15, I'll let you in.</span><br />
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Lucas and Karl are also inside.
|
|
<br />
|
|
Karl says: <span class="quote speech">We needed a little more space.
|
|
This place has been <span class="comment">vacant</span> forever, might
|
|
as well use it.</span><br />
|
|
Annie slides her shoes off and leans her bag against the wall. Then,
|
|
they go to the living room where cables and computer parts are all over
|
|
the floor. Lucas sits in front of the rack between two opened boxes.
|
|
The rack's side panels had been removed, revealing the rails holding
|
|
the various devices inside and their power cables. Lucas is pushing
|
|
a circuit board into a half-assembled device that hangs out the front.
|
|
Karl goes over to a stool next to the rack, carefully avoiding stepping
|
|
on things, and sits down.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Annie sits down next to Lucas and watches as he carefully inserts one
|
|
board after the other. Karl is looking at the manual and tells him
|
|
to set some tiny switches on the front of some of them.<br />
|
|
Karl says: <span class="quote speech">Annie, can you hand me these four
|
|
gray ribbon cables?</span><br />
|
|
She looks around, lots of different cables everywhere.<br />
|
|
<span class="quote speech">The wide, flat ones to your left.</span><br />
|
|
He takes them and plugs them somewhere into the back of the rack.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Isabelle grabs the terminal from a corner of the room and lifts it onto
|
|
the rack. Meanwhile, Annie and Lucas start collecting the cables and
|
|
loose parts from the floor. Karl plugs rack and terminal into power and
|
|
connects a cable between the terminal and one of the devices in the front
|
|
of the rack.
