Soma nodded. "I've been hearing conflicting reports about the basement ever since I got here. There has to be something significant down there--I'm just not sure what. I'll let you know if anything interesting comes up."

She thought back for a moment. "Some of the patients were considering making the radios two-way so patients could communicate with one another across distances, rather than just listening to the occasional broadcast. I don't know if they were successful, but if you could do something like that, it might come in handy."

The intercom switched on, and she made a faint sound of annoyance as her nurse closed in. "And keep me updated," she added, standing up and offering a smile to Lingormr. "I'd love to hear what you come up with."
