Reaves had a cockeyed sort of smile on her face. “Cool…sounds like a five-year old speaking out of a barrel…kind of tinny, but understandable.”
“I’m working on the audibility configs…it’ll get better. ANAD, Base…how many current configurations in your library?”
There was a slight fizzing and staticky scratching sound, then: ***ANAD currently maintains one hundred and twenty eight configuration templates…***
Winger said, “Listen to this—ANAD, Base has only one configuration. Analyze this disparity and report results.”
