They hadn't exactly had something like this, but they'd had a limited network of sorts to talk to each other as long as anyone involved had a charmed earring and was within range. He suddenly wonders if Vax still has his. Percy won't test that now, but it embeds itself in his mind. He turns his attention back to the technology at hand.

He gets through most of his bowl before the desire for knowledge has him sitting back to toy with the thing. Then he remembers he has a glass of liquor and he plucks that up with his free hand.

"We have to go through the Augur to get everything?" he asks as he lifts his gaze agsin to look at his host.
