[A couple of people in the valley have already this weird little dialect through their speakers, but this is the first time Cheryl had had the courage to address the valley at large. Her pad obediently translates for her, however, in singsong microsoft Sally style:] [Hello there. My name is Cheryl, and I recently took up a home near the mines.]
