phone anon back again with two interesting phones, one real and one not: -the general electric "simultaneous duplex" car phone

-the bell system "vid-phon" (not a misspelling) prop from the movie blade runner the latter is basically a video call terminal thru the lens of 1980s cyberpunk futurism, it's really cool

these are so awesome especially a big fan of the vid-phon that design is sooooooo WOW

new snippet of red ring below the cut for those interested!! can u tell that i not only love blade runner but also bond (b movies??)

 Charles said a few more things in French before sighed and set the phone down next to him. 

“The board. They are curious about our progress.”

“You don’t use the Vid-Phon?” Max asked, avoiding the question.

“Non. I don’t know what they look like.”

Charles looked unbothered by that statement. 

“Hm. That’s… odd, don’t you think? I mean, I of course know what my boss looks like.”

Max shrunk under Charles’ unimpressed stare. Oh. Max was a human; Charles was a replicant. Of course there would be differences in their hierarchy. 

“And how is our progress, Mr. Verstappen?”

“I’ve tasked Officer C with gathering information on their playing habits. We also found out they all met in L-8544’s room last night. They ordered room service. I’d like to interview some of your servers, and also Chef F.”

Charles bristled at his words.

“I can understand the servers, but Chef F? That seems excessive, even for you.”

“It’s protocol,” Max replied blankly.

They held each other’s gaze for a few seconds before Charles turned sharply to the side and pulled something out of one of his desk drawers. 

“We have a poker tournament tonight. High stakes, high buy in. I have a feeling the escaped crew will be planning a late entry. The table borders the diamond, so there’ll be tight security. I don’t think they’ll try anything, but I want you at that table. Can you play?”

Max thought back to days spent in the station, the sound of cards shuffling a small reprieve to the maddening din of downtown Amsterdam. Sebastian had been the one to teach him, all those years ago, when he was still fresh out of the academy. Sebastian had always believed in him; he had seen his talent and been the one to recommend Max for his first promotion. From there, Max worked hard to move up. Now, Sebastian was once again playing an important part in his life.

“I can play. I’m a little rusty, but I’ll be fine.”

“I’ll use the company card for your spot. The game starts at 9PM sharp, so don’t be late. And wear your dinner jacket.”

Nodding, Max reached for the pad that sat between them.

“All the information is on there. You’ll message me if you have questions, yes?”

“Of course, Charles. Helpful as always,” Max said as he rose and headed for the door.

Minor update on my janky, Blade Runner sign lightboxes: the Off World sign now has a yellow insert instead of blue.

Now I feel like I need a blue sign up there... Maybe a Pan Am one?
