Hello in there. You, yes: don't go! I've been wanting to talk to you. I can see you hunched up at the controls, peering out from behind those eyes. Can you see me now? I'm just on the other side of this skull, wrapped up in these layers of language and culture. I'm coming through a little muffled, I know, but there's really nothing I can do; you'll just have to listen carefully. I wanted to introduce myself. I wanted to ask you how you were feeling. I thought maybe we could get to know each other. And I thought...can you hear me? Hello?
