[ Empyreum — Ingleside Apartment 17.1.5 ]
Margot Weisshexer, dressed casually in traditional Ala Mhigan poncho, short pants, and sandals, stands in the back corner of her apartment in Ishgard. A gleaming white futuristic kitchen unit has been installed on one wall. Housingway, a loporrit, is introducing her to it as if he's trying to sell it to her: "This modular kitchen unit includes all the conveniences of home, in a single standard unit: cabinetry, washbasin, and a boiler for hot water."
The scene shifts to Margot sitting at a metal table inlaid with some sort of colorful light-emitting ring. On that table is something that looks like a laptop computer, or a tablet with an attached keyboard. "And here," explains Housingway, "is your new comms terminal, furnished by the Cosmic Exploration Initiative."
Margot seems puzzled. "But," she protests, "I already have a whole pouch of linkpearls, a Crystarian tomephone, a Garlond tomephone,
an Alexandrian headset, and even an exotablet from the Exploration Initiative. What use have I for a terminal?"
Housingway raises both arms and gasps in shock. Wide-eyed, they ask breathlessly, "Have you not seen the channel that broadcasts videos of cute cats?!"

When Margot first agreed to incorporate some of the new inventions from #CosmicExploration into her apartment, she wasn't quite sure what to expect.
