Hello, Listeners, welcome back to Remade.

I'm your host Faith McQuinn, and this is episode eight.

Realm presents Remade, Season 1, Episode 8. Inez leaned forward and dipped a hand into the pocket of the seat in front of her.

She pulled out a square, translucent sheet, with cartoons of people in various dates of panic and

distress. She couldn't read the writing, of course, but the bottom of the sheet had a picture

of one of those camera robots, what the others

called caretakers. The swirls and squiggles under the caretaker appeared in many of the other

captions, suggesting that if the train had a water emergency, she really didn't want to know how that

would happen, as illustrated by one cartoon of a woman pinching her nose and puffing her cheeks,

as a fish swam out of her ear.

Passengers should listen for the caretaker's instructions. While holding their breath, it seemed.

Helpful. The cartoon blurred, and Inez was surprised to find tears in her eyes.

Stupid. She crumbled the sheet and dropped it to the floor.

After a moment, the page unfolded and smoothed itself out like new.

She kicked it under the seat ahead of her.

Hey, you okay?

Inez twisted around and saw a Desi girl,

holding a cup of something that looked like coffee and smelled like coffee.

"'Inaz had learned the hard way that it tasted like hot orange juice

"'with a twist of ass.

"'Inaz rubbed the tears from her eyes and nodded.

"'I'm Sunita Prasad.'
