*Alice? Did you hear me? Is Mental Link active?* Jake wonders. He can't see or hear anything from outside other than his own voice. *What's going on? You seem so tense.* "Jake? Yes, I hear your words. Mental Link works perfectly." Alice looks down at her swimsuit. "I'm struggling with what I just told this stranger. You heard this, right?" The young woman looks at Jake and smiles. "I'm Emma. Jake is the name of your swimsuit? He can't hear me? Did you know that you can pair your transmitter with your smartphone and then use its microphone and speaker for Mental Link? That way I could also hear your swimsuit. And you can do that with your smartphone camera too. Then your swimsuit could also see. Well, at least what you photograph with your smartphone. Mental Link cannot transmit video streams yet. They still have some problems with the amount of information that cannot be transmitted and processed quickly enough." Alice feels a little taken aback, but she realizes that they should have studied the emitter's manual at home. "No, I didn't know that. Can you show me how to do this?" she asks. "Of course, I'd love to. How about we continue this outside on the lawn? After a while, it will get a bit tiring swimming in place here next to you." Alice thinks for a moment before she tells Jake what Emma told her, "Hey Jake, I can tell you that I'm talking to a stranger who has an emitter just like me. She's really nice and wants to help me find our emitter's functions that would have helped us here and now. Her name is Emma, and she has a yellow high-cut triangle bikini on. I can tell she's very attractive, with a curvy body and brunette hair. Would you like to hear Emma's voice? And should Emma hear your words? And would you want to see Emma?" Jake wonders. *I'm not sure if I understand. You're talking with a stranger who told you that there's a way that I could speak, hear and see? Even when I'm this swimsuit?* Alice laughs a little. "Yeah, exactly. Emma seems to know a lot about the emitter and its functions." Emma smiles and Alice asks him. "But you want to see her and talk with her, don't you?" She pauses for a moment. "Oh, and Emma said we should get out of the pool and onto the lawn. She says it might get a little tiring to just float here in one spot." *Oh yes, I would love to be able to see and hear her. It would be incredible to be able to communicate with the world when I'm in my transformed state. And I'm sure it would be fun to see and talk with her.* Jake's voice is filled with excitement and curiosity. Alice grins. "OK, we can do this, Jake." She looks at Emma and smiles, then says to her, "I would like to try that, and Jake is excited to do this, too." Emma is full of joy to have found some others who have fun with the Transform-O-Matic. "Great! Let's get going then. But maybe you can answer a question for me on the way? Why do you call your swimsuit Jake? After all, at least for now, it's just your swimsuit?" Alice let's herself glide into the water and swims together with Emma to the ladder to the lawn. "Well, simply because that swimsuit is still my husband. We left his mind intact and did not transform it into that of a swimsuit. But would you be OK with discussing this when Jake can hear and talk to you, too?" Emma looks at her with a wide open mouth and it seems she needs a moment to understand. "I really don't know what to say, Alice. I had no idea it was like this." she replies, looking at Alice and Jake again. "I'll show you the settings of the mobile emitter that will make it possible for Jake to hear, talk, and see." They reach Emma's towel and she picks it up together with her bag and they walk over to the place where Alice has put her towel on the ground to sit down and keep on talking at this place.
