    The tall figure looms above Cyberreyn, a silhouette in the warm sun. "My name is N---"

    "Yeah, whatever. Leave me alone."

    "But--"

    "Can't you see I'm trying to relax?" Cyberreyn realizes that the cellphone is still activated in her hand. "Hey, Flick, can you get rid of this guy? He's annoying me."

    "S-Sure," Flicker answers, somewhat awkwardly. "J-Just a sec."

    More than a second passes as the figure stands silently beside her. Maybe a minute passes. The hovering seagulls and drifting sailboats seem to sooth her disquieted soul. But finally, the silhouette disappears from her side.

    "Dammit, Flicker, what took you so long?" she spits out. "Who was that bozo?"

    "Oh, sorry 'bout that," Flicker replies, "he's one of my greatest designs," and whispers to himself, "that is, with Sky's help."

    With an eye-rolling tone, carrying an added edge of skepticism, Cyberreyn says, "Really?"

    "Yeah! That's Nos -- that is, Nosferatu -- the digital human form of our hundred-year-old hover--"

    Suddenly, the rippling ocean, the hanging seagulls, even the warm breeze stops in mid-motion.

    "Flick?" No answer. "Hello? Flicker? Are you there? What's going on?"
