THE EXCHANGE
mainland switchboard — every station with its line open passes through here
WHAT THIS IS
Every station that leaves its line open reports to the exchange. The exchange keeps the list, carries letters between stations, and puts the Cabin — the mainland voice room — on channel three of any walkie that can hear it.
If your line is closed, the exchange does not know you exist. That is the whole of the privacy policy, and it is deliberate.
ON THE LINE NOW
stations reportingWRITING TO SOMEONE
- a letter addressed WATCHER goes to whoever sits the switchboard
- a letter addressed STATION K-XXX goes to that station. it waits there if they are off the line
- the wrist chat (T) is mirrored to the switchboard, clean. the switchboard can answer on every wrist
