[The video turns on to find one teenaged boy who is completely soaked to the bone in front of the Welcome Center. He doesn't look so much lost as he is bemused by how weird this communicator looks. There are some weird things in the future, that much Marty McFly knows but the novelty behind a starfish camera thing...that he will probably never get.]

So this is the communicator, huh? Talk about matching themes here...

[Marty takes a good look at the device, tilting it and turns the camera to face where he's looking at: Your typical bustling underwater city.]

I'm going to take a wild guess here and say that this thing isn't used to translate fish-talk. So who exactly am I supposed to communicate with? Maybe I should try phoning in one of the locals here. Maybe that's how you get them out of their shells.

[Terrible puns aside he turns the camera over to face him. Marty combs the wet bangs aside from his face.]

Yeah right.

[The video feed cuts off there.]

... these things can talk to fish?! Cheria never told me that!

[Way... to miss the point, Ico.]

Oh that? Thaaaat was just me thinking out loud. Don't think the instruction manual ever mentions that it can translate anything else besides people.

Aw...

[Have a disappointed little boy, Marty.]

That would have been really neat.

[Ah jeez...]

I think this place has enough neat things going on for itself.

That's true...

.. have you been up the big lift that goes to the island yet? It's very pretty up there!
