Lena was relaxing with a book, when there was a knock on the door. She answered it to find a messenger with a package for her. She signed for it, and took it back to where she'd been sitting to open it. It was a PDA and there was a note with it, from Brains.

Lena,

I'm sure you must already have a PDA, but this is also a telecommunications device for whenever we need to get in touch with you (or vice-versa) outside of Tracy Industries business. Instructions for activation of that function are included with this note. Please keep it with you at all times.

Hiram Hackenbacker

PS. Please destroy this note. We don't want anyone finding it and getting suspicious, do we?

Lena chuckled when she read the PS, and turned to the instructions, which told her how to know when there was an incoming call, how to use that part of the PDA both as an A/V unit and for text messaging. She'd just finished familiarizing herself with the procedures, when she was startled to see a call coming in to the unit.

She touched the pad with the stylus, entering the code given her in the instructions, and Brains' face appeared on the screen. "Well, hello dere, Brains. Dis is quite a surprise."

"Hello, Lena. I take it you are alone?"

"Yes; I was just relaxing."

"Well, we make sure all of our agents have a secure way to communicate with International Rescue at all times. As you know, your office phone now has a secure line for that purpose, but there are times when you aren't near a phone or a computer. Various things have been used, that fit the lifestyles of those who use them. This seemed appropriate for you."

"It'll work just fine. My old one is just dat - old. Your timing was perfect. How rugged is dis one?"

"Why?"

"Two traits of my twin great-grandchildren are poking into bags and boxes, and banging tings on de table. So if I'm visiting, you can be sure one of dem will find dis in my purse, and demonstrate some drumming techniques wit it." She grinned at him.

He laughed. "Well, it is pretty sturdy, but I don't know if it would survive persistent drumming. So it might be wise to keep it out of reach of little hands."

She chuckled. "Okay, I tink I can handle dat."

He asked her if she had any questions about the functions, and she mentioned the emergency signaling device. He told her that it was a feature built into every agent's communication device. Finally, satisfied that she understood every unique feature in the PDA, and amused at her half-joking indignation that he thought she wouldn't, they disconnected.
