"Calling Hera station, calling Hera station..."

"This is Hera station. You are broadcasting on a restricted frequency, please cease immediately."

"Pleased to speak to you too, Hera. I have a message for Tsiban and his friends which I'd like you to pass on. Tell them to get to a local phone, and then have you broadcast the number on this frequency. They need to do this within an hour."

"Get off the airwaves, whoever you are. We are not interested in practical jokes from radio amateurs."

"It's hard to be professional on a planet with such a primitive technology level. Personally I think I'm doing rather well. Are you going to tell them?"

"Who are you, anyway?"

"Tell Tsiban it's Ard Esveld and it's time we put our differences aside."
