[Panel 1]
[Bell]
Nils, I used the phone
in my room just now.

[Nils]
That's nice.

[Bell]
And on the other end was a
robot voice telling me it
was going to rain all day.

[Panel 2]
[Nils]
Oh, right, you probably hit
299 rather than whatever
you were trying to dial.

[Bell]
WHEN did we get
a weather robot?

[Nils]
When you said you didn't
want to use a smartphone
to check the weather.

[Panel 3]
[Nils]
I mean, I'd already built
the VoIP bridge, and it
didn't take much work...

[Bell]
What ELSE does it know?

[Nils]
Oh, the usual. Traffic and
public transport, news
headlines, where the rental
bikes are. Just normal stuff.

[Panel 4]
[Bell]
And you're SURE it's safe?

[Nils]
Bell, it's just reading
web sites and driving
the house phones.
What's the hazard?

...I think I'll just go and
check the server, shall I?
