Who you gonna call?

"Yes, it's..." You trail off as you realize he's stopped listening again and is fiddling with his cell phone. After a couple of seconds he says "Like this?" and holds up the phone so you can see the screen. You gasp as you see a small 3D color picture of the Void, so vivid that you'd be afraid to be sucked into it if it wasn't so small.

"That's it!"

"Great. Hang one." He flips over the phone and punches what seems to be a speed dial number, and after a few seconds the call is answered. "Hey prof," he says eagerly. "We got one!" He pauses to listen. "Right here in front of me. Large as life, stable as rock. How it looks? Well... let me show you."

Before you have time to pose or react any other way, he holds up his phone and takes a snapshot of you. A few more key presses, some waiting and the conversation resumes.

"No, it doesn't look like a costume. She's as real as you and I. Sorry, could you repeat that?"

He listens for a moment and says

1. "Okay, I'll put her on."
2. "Sure, we'll be right over!"
3. "No, I don't think she'll do requests."
4. "What do you mean you're not interested?"
5. "Corner of Seventh and Delta. Wait, what do you need our coordinates for?"
6. "Nobody steps on a church in my town!"
7. "Eep!" because Raymond Chandler just came around the corner with a gun in his hand.
