"Wait!"

"What!?"

"I think we could do it with maybe just a bunch of wire."

"What? How?"



"I think - no, I know - a way to make a really crappy radio that doesn't need a power supply. Like, the hand-made kind. They are not good radios, but I think it might work."

"This isn't a radio Kendra. This is a time machine."

"I know! But, look, we could make the receiver, and for the tuner we'd just need something with medium resistance. A piece of metal maybe."

"Are you sure?"

"Maaaaybe? But Bina, this is -

"But this is time travel, I know, ok, what about the paradox?"

"Could we break the shard in half and use the second half as a ground? I know it's not from the future but -

"I think that's… a bad idea. We should avoid breaking the shard unless absolutely necessary." Bina thinks about the TV thing again and continues, "They do weird stuff when they're broken."

"All right… we could just ground it into the mud? It wouldn't be safe but nothing about this is remotely safe."

"If we can't come up with a better plan, but Kendra are you sure this is a good idea? I bet there's radios and stuff back at the camp."

"Yeah, but to get them we'd have to, you know, go back to the camp. That didn't go so well for me the last time."

"Or maybe we could find somewhere else, I mean, this place is a factory, right? There's bound to be stuff all over the place. Heck, we could probably find some stuff in the garage downstairs, right? I mean, I don't think…

"You don't think…? You don't think what?"

"Do you hear that?"

"Hear what?"

"That!"



"Ohhhh dang. I know those moans."

"I told you they could find me! We shouldn't have stayed in one place this long!"
