Eighth Scoop: Interpretations [Video]
[ Neopolitan comes onto the screen, obviously recorded by someone else since her hands are empty, in her usual outfit. She stands in front of a large crowd with signs and angry faces. Some signs read "We deserve to be heard!", "Speak up for the Unspoken", and a few other signs in actual sign language. There is a microphone, but it seems to be set up for her device, since that's where the voice for her gloves comes from.
"We need a voice, and you need us because we basically pay your salary. These fine people are fed up with the lack of action from all cities when it comes to sign language interpretation. We can't rely on typing. It's not a logical medium to hold conversations with face-to-face. So I'm offering my services to interpret for all City Guardians and other high ranking officials during important press conferences and the like. We shouldn't have to wait hours, or even days, for an interpretation of what was just said during a live broadcast.
And let's face it: closed captioning sucks.
We won't stop just with sign language, but expand with Braille, too. We need just as much access to communications as those without disabilities."
There's applause, both audible and visual as Neo steps off her literal soap box. She'll rally in every city if she has to! ]

Which is quite easy to do.
"Besides, it's annoying having hardly anyone put in some effort to learn sign language. All this tech and we haven't gotten that far? Sounds like discrimination.
And a lawsuit."
Can she sue all the cities for discrimination? Neo is seriously pondering the idea. ]

[ She pauses, processing. ]
I'm not sure what I can do, I don't know a lot about the laws here, but if you need help I'll help. Suing the government sounds fun!

She might have just made a new friend. :D Giving hell to the government with like minded people is always fun.
"I'm Neo. You got a name?" ]

[ She gives a little two finger salute, head dome coyly tilted. ]
Nice to meet you, Neo. I say we meet up and plot when we have some free time.
