*Hyun-ae's Help Desk (IC Inbox)

<sub>[Integrated into the interface of the COMP is *Hyun-ae's contact button: simply pressing it immediately deploys the COMP glasses and causes her to appear before you, image initially fluttering in and out of existence for a bit before she can properly display. The whole process is soundless: a somewhat generic greeting automatically appears in a text box beside her.

If you choose to actually converse with *Hyun-ae rather than just ask her to pass a message to someone else, this is the place to post!]</sub>

[guess who just put super security on this conversation? *Hyun-ae, that's who.]

Unfortunately, speculative information like that isn't something I'm advised to give out. You understand. If the estimates are wrong, it could be accusing a number of the dead for crimes they didn't actually commit...

_{[That initial message sends, but there's an accompanying moment of lag that prevents Nick from closing out of the conversation. What *Hyun-ae says next is locked.]}

Our earlier conversation put aside, I do like theories about less serious things. I've been trying to keep track of our recent book sales - can you believe that series everyone's been talking about has been estimated at somewhere over 150 or 160 million copies sold? The number really took me by surprise when I counted it all up.

*Book sales? Why on earth is she talking about book -- oh. OH. ...oh dear.*

Oh man, seriously? A book like that? Just goes to show you that you can't account for taste sometimes. That's nuts.

[terminalemulation]

I know, right? It makes me a little sad, to think it's getting attention instead of some of the classics... but I digress.

My apologies that I couldn't help with your original question. I hope you have a productive day regardless, Nick.

[ghost_shield]

You too, *Hyun-ae, you too.

*He leans back, mulling to himself.*

Inflating the figures, are we boys... clever.
