"Keel? Can you hear us?" came the squeaking voice that filled the ruby chamber.
"Yes. And you?"
"Very poorly... See what you can do".
I walked around talking. I went through several mirrors, climbed and went down. Until...
"There! It's good! We can hear you perfectly now".
"Right. What now gentleman? What will it be today? Stories? Languages? Or just a conversation?"
"Today the energy level is low... We cannot calibrate the Manotic battery well".
"Well, then just a little chat, I suppose..."
"We have little time".
"You managed to contact the others, aside from me?"
"In a precarious way...like years ago, when we started our contact with you".
"I suppose it will be hard to contact them. It is difficult to maintain one's sanity in this cool and tedious place".
"We can imagine that. We would like to express our solidarity... Your story has been full of sorrow".
"Thank you. How goes the search for the undoing?"
"Some interesting advances. Dr. Bhreme is excited about the tests we did on another artifact".
"Any contacts in that other artifact?"
"No, the instruments did not indicate neuro-manotic activities".
"Am I still the only case?"
"Well, yes in our laboratory, but we received reports from other laboratories. Manotechnologies are advancing greatly in recent decades".
"I'd like to see the world again".
"We are working on it, dear Keel. For one who has waited so long, a few years will pass quickly".
"All right friends, sometimes I almost feel some hope".
"Well Keel" the voice faltered "The energy faded quickly and our connection will fail. Until next time".
"Let's hope so, friends".
