"I have been blind for years. If a beverage is in a container I can manage with little problems. I just have to move slowly until I find the container. Filling a cup is difficult. I have survived on deli sandwiches and soda pop for along time." Katherin replied.

"I don't think that's very healthy, is that?" Ruslan said. "And sorry, I've gotta leave, will be back shortly," he continued, standing up from his seat and going outside the room.

Cassie finished eating, listening silently. She looked up when Ruslan left, "I think something might be up" she rose, going over to where Sintara was, leaned over the comouter keyboard, gibberish written on the screen where her face hit the keys. She gently shook her awake

[KatherinWinter]

Roxy looked up from her bowl of soup. "What do you mean something might be up?"

[nautilusmp]

After a few minutes, Ruslan returns to the room. "Sorry for making you guys wait for me," he said.

[MarshiestMallow]

Cassie shrugged, "instinct" ○she handed sintara bread and soup.

[KatherinWinter]

Katherin wonders what Cassie meant but does not ask. Instead she thought about Ruslan and Cody's idea of training her. Katherin looked at the future options to see how viable the idea was.

"Guys, I'm ditching my old number," Ruslan said. Buying a new mobile number is just one of the things he did while he left the team for those long minutes. He then pulls out a small note from his pocket. "Here's my new number. Please save it".

[KatherinWinter]

"Why do you need a new number?" Katherin asked suriously. She wasn't sure why he needed a number at all. It wasn't as if they were every far enough apart to need phones. "Are you sure that phone is safe?"

[nautilusmp]

"They don't have eavesdropping devices in phones, but they look at communication data. And I guess they know my number," Ruslan said. "And your GSM card still sends data even though it's not texting or calling anyone, so I thought that's why we're always found," he continued. "Hopefully it'll take much time before they know it's my number".

[KatherinWinter]

"That is a good thought. Everyone else should get ride if the phones they have had since we started running." Roxy suggested. She had never owned a phone. There had never been a reason to get one.

[nautilusmp]

"Their numbers, not their phones," Ruslan attempts to correct what Katherin said. "Unless someone finds an eavesdropping device in our phones".

[KatherinWinter]

"Aren't phone numbers connected to phones?" Roxy asked confused "Checking everything we have for trackers is a good idea. Everything has pretty much been with us from the begining, but there is No sense in taking chances."

[nautilusmp]

"Yes, indeed, but signals sent don't tell anything about your phone, although it tells everything about the number," Ruslan said. "And what do you mean by no sense in taking chances?"

[KatherinWinter]

"Tracking devices can be put on to anything. They can be as small as a dime." Roxy explained. "Maybe that is how they keep finding us so quickly."

[nautilusmp]

"So, you'd think it'll be impossible for us to remove all our tracking devices?" Ruslan asked.

[KatherinWinter]

"I think it is impossible for us to know for sure that we have removed all the tracking devices." Roxy explained. "I've been out of the technology loop awhile, but from what I remember technology like tracking devices gets smaller and more powerful every year."

[nautilusmp]

"But do they install them on our stuffs every year?" Ruslan asked. He hopes this won't turn into a debate instead of an attempt to find the truth.

[KatherinWinter]

"They would have to be place on an item. For example if you left your phone unattended I could place one on it. Or I could attack one to your coat. Most tracking devices only need a bit of glue so they stick to the desired object." Roxy explains patiently

[MarshiestMallow]

"You can block your phone being tracked" Sintara said, following the conversation
