Well, this is my first fic on this site, so...-nervous laugh- I've read a few stories that are like this, and I thought it would be really fun to do this, so yeah. I don't really use MSN a lot (haven't used it in maybe a year now), but Facebook should be easier for me to do. Anyways, hope you enjoy!~

Deryn Sharp was bored. So desperately tired of being bored, that she was going to use one of those barking awful Clanker machines they called 'computers'. Or whatever it was called; she couldn't remember the exact name Alek had used. She opened up something that read 'Internet', and found herself at a site called 'Facebook'. She vaguely recalled Alek saying something about this, but she couldn't remember when or what he was talking about. On the right hand side, there was something about signing up, so she shrugged, and started typing. It's a good thing I already have an email account, courtesy of that barking annoying prince, Alek, she thought.

Jaspert stared at the computer screen for a long time, until he couldn't stand it anymore, and rubbed his eyes. When he blinked away the dots, the name was still there: Dylan Sharp. What on earth was his little sister doing, spending all this time on the barking mad contraption? Time to give her a little surprise, he thought with a wicked grin, and set to work.

Dr. Barlow sat her desk, sighing. There was something about Midshipman Sharp, something she felt that she should know, but she didn't. There was nothing particularly unusual about the boy, other than the fact that he was a bit young to be in the Air Service, but this seemed to go deeper than just appearances. Nora also had the feeling that that Count knew what it was, but wasn't telling her, and that was infuriating. She certainly didn't like being left out of the loop, especially not since she was helping the man. Nora cleared her head of all these thoughts, and studied the beastie on the table critically. She had been trying to combine Darwinist and Clanker technology for a long time now, and here was the product of all her work. Mr. Sharp was going to be her test subject, she figured, as soon as the boy got back from egg duty.

Nora Darwin Barlow: It's a combination of Darwinist and Clanker technology. The Darwinist bit is the cover, like the glowworms for the display screen, and a sucker at the back, so you don't have to carry it. The Clanker bit is how you get to talk to others. It sends out radio waves to a receiving end, and you can also go on the Internet. The touch screen is made out of a thin layer of blubber. It won't ever break on you, because it can heal itself. The Captain and I each have one.
