"I was expecting that--" He points at the terminal "--to be able to talk to this." He points at a delicate red device perched against his left ear, screen in front of his eye. "I was expecting to be able to access the damn terminal's functions without having to touch it. I was expecting a network feed so I could get some damn information on what's going on right now."
