It was clear to June that no one understood her rather impressive of cold war communication infrastructure. A shame really. Sure, maybe she wasn't enough of an expert to get it going first try, but with a few manuals and assuming the equipment still worked, she could do wonders with it. Well, as long as there was juice. But it is not like cold war microwave transmitters were the only way of wireless communications. "We could also use lazer pointers. You know that whole law about how illegal it is to point a lazer pointer at a plane? That is because after 9/11 aviation security got pretty strict. At least on a surface level. It's more theater if we're being honest. But the point being is that nearly every modern aircraft has equipment built into it to detect if lazers are being pointed at it. Primarily to see if missile targeting systems are trying to lock onto them. They can normally identify the type of lazer too. I would be surprised if a one and a half billion dollar warship doesn't have some comparable feature with the ability to tell what direction it is coming from." June said spitballing as she loaded the last shell into the short shotgun, closing it with a half pump from opened to closed as she returned it to her dominant hand.
"I get all sorts of things. I know there are at least 2 couples trying to subtlety make love nearly every night in this building, I have counted the number of different types and classes of warships that are patrolling the waters around us, even if I don't know what kinds they are specifically, and I have almost repurposed an office phone, laptop, and pieces to a smart phone to make a mobile drone. Almost..." She said begrudgingly as Billie clearly didn't understand just how much June noticed. Sure, she struggled on social cues, but she was rather observant. "Also when it gets really quiet at night sometimes I can hear footsteps off in the distance. And the occasional electrical hum when the grid attempts to restart itself, the automated system struggling to understand that it is currently going through a critical failure. Though it could be a smaller independent power source powering itself up from time to time that is connected into the main grid with the intentions of only powering it's own infrastructure. But as the many automated checks and balances that keep those systems on their own grid when the power goes are failing sometimes they can send ever so faint echos into the local grid. Not enough to power anything, but enough to cause the occasional jolt, buzz, or a softly flexing cable when the current causes heat and tension in the grid. Maybe a small wind turbine or solar panels. Who knows for sure." June said trying to over explain her surface level understanding of the electrical grid with a shrug. Though she was no electrical engineer. If asked to assemble a grid it would look something closer to a make shift highschool project. Though conceptually she had a pretty decent understanding.
June did appreciate Billie looking out for June. She wasn't a particularly social person, and most people did what they could to avoid June the moment she started off on any of her tangents. "I really appreciate that. Though I don't think I'd get lost, I have a decent sense of direction..." She said pondering the last few weeks. "However a lot of the streets have probably changed a bit the last few weeks. And adrenaline really does make the human brain cut short a lot of thought processes. Fight and flight and all that." She said continuing her thoughts. "You're right, we should stay close to one another." June said confidently agreeing with Billie. The happiest smile on her face as she agreed with the friend of her most recent lover.
