[Ringing tone.]

EUGENE

Hey love, we’re interviewing a guy to take over the IT department, and he said he knows you! Name of Lucas Cecil?

CASSANDRA

No way, that’s wild! Yeah, I went to college with him. Didn’t know him super well, but I think I had a class with him freshman year.

EUGENE

Think he’d be a good fit?

CASSANDRA

Maybe. Like I said, I didn’t know him very well.

EUGENE

What does your sixth sense say, prophetess?

CASSANDRA

[laughs] You’re the one who taught me it doesn’t work on command like that.

EUGENE

Turning my own words against me? How dare you? [chuckles]

CASSANDRA

Well, suffice it to say, I don’t get any catastrophic feelings about hiring him.

[A glitching sound.
A distorted and reversed voice: "Evah dluohs i tub."
Glitching. A voice out of a memory.]

LUCAS

We had a close call with a phishing scam last week, so I just want to remind everyone not to share personal or confidential information. That includes login information. I want you to treat your username and password like the One Ring: keep it secret, keep it safe.

[Glitch.
The distorted voice again: "Ynori eht ho."
Glitch. Ringing tone.

LUCAS

Hey, Cass! I haven’t seen you since the funeral. How are you holding up?

CASSANDRA

[on the verge of tears] I am so sorry to bother you, Lucas. I’m trying to print some paperwork off for Eugene’s estate attorney, and I cannot seem to get into my account.

LUCAS

Oh no? That’s odd. Are you getting any error codes, or…?

CASSANDRA

I’m sure it’s my own fault, but I can’t figure it out. And I need to leave for the meeting soon—I’m such a disaster lately.

LUCAS

Hey, it’s gonna be okay.

CASSANDRA

I know it’s against the rules, but could I try using your account? For old time’s sake?

LUCAS

[hesitates] Just to print something off?

CASSANDRA

I promise not to go digging around in your emails. I wouldn’t understand any of that IT stuff anyways. [trying to laugh] I just… I need your help.

LUCAS

And I’m happy to help. Here, my username is “lcecil724,” all lowercase, no spaces.

CASSANDRA

Oh, thank you so much.

LUCAS

For you? Anything. And my password is “HazelnutLandscapingMacedonia42?” The first letter in each word is capitalized, and no spaces.

CASSANDRA

Lucas, thank you. You’re a life saver.
