[ The D-Terminal turns on to show Zack sitting on the couch, fiddling with his cellphone. He flips it open and closed a few times, looking more than a little exasperated when the screen remains blank. After a few seconds, he addresses the network; ]

Hey, did anyone else wind up bringing their cellphones here with them? I tried to check mine and it won't even turn on. I figured I'd at least be able to see my messages, even if I can't make any calls.

[ He flips it open again, pulls the battery out and then shoves it back in and still it won't work. Great. ]

So, am I the only lucky one having trouble here?

If ya don't use it right, I'm gonna have to make sure it doesn't happen again. Got it, Zack?

[She's teasing, which is evident in her tone.]

[makoinfused]

Okay, okay! [ He holds his hands up in surrender, grinning, ] I'll only use my new word for good, I promise. And I'll make sure to use it right.

Hmm...okay! I got it. I'll trust you with it, okay? You seem like a nice guy. [Really, normally Hibiki is pretty suspicious of guys Zack's age...] So, is there anythin' else I can help you with? I'll let ya know if I find anyone who can help with the phone situation.

[makoinfused]

Right. [ Affirmative nod.

Then he takes a second to think, folding his arms over his chest, ] Not that I can think of. I appreciate the help, though. Good to see everyone working together here.

[brandnewday]

Mm! Let's keep up the good work, okay? If you need anythin' else, feel free to give me a call!

[makoinfused]

Roger that. Same goes for you, too. I'll be here if you need anything.
