[The camera clicks on, initially capturing a view of a partly cloudy sky. The camera moves downward, bringing its owner into view: Bennett. He's got what appears to be a pair of wings on his back.]
Hey there! Bennett here, coming to you live from the rooftops of Camelot, haha!
[He switches over from the front camera to the rear, presenting a gorgeous view of the city below, as seen from the rooftop of a building, and a particularly tall one at that, judging by how far down some of those buildings seem. How did he get up there? Don't worry about it.]
I recently got my Wind Glider back, so I thought it'd be pretty cool to get an aerial view of the city. You know, gliding high above the city, talking about some of my favorite spots here... All that fun stuff! Anyway, here I go!
[He runs, and leaps into the air off of the rooftop he's on. But rather than dropping, he seems to float in the air, suspended above the ground below while he points his phone at the sights of the city.]
So, starting off, in my opinion, the best crepes in town can be found at that place over there! [A gloved hand comes into the shot, pointing at a cafe down below.] And over there [pointing at a very wide building now] is the hospital with the friendliest staff! They don't give me grief even when I end up there for the fourth time in two weeks. Aaaand... Ah! Down there is--Whoa!?
[Suddenly, without warning, a powerful wind picks up, blowing Bennett and his glider lopsided. Knocked around, it causes him to let go of his phone, allowing it to plummet sstraight to the ground. The last thing seen before it hits the ground is Bennett's horrified expression moving farther and farther away until it hits the ground, terminating the video.
---
A minute later, it comes back on, back in Bennett's hand and broadcasting his face again. There's a clear crack running down the middle of the lens, causing him to look like he's been split in two, and both the video and the audio is crackly and distorted.]

...Sorry, I didn't catch most of that. The, uh, voice mechanism on your phone is acting up. And the camera.
[So yeah, it's broken, like Bennett thought. A truly brilliant observation.]
Can you DIY it back together somehow? I probably wouldn't take it flying with something that small.

[He sounds pretty put out about it. He was really getting used to the thing, too!]

[He looks thoughtful. An idea is forming. While it may be at least as bad as most of Sagi's other ideas, let no one claim he has a shortage of them when helping other people is at stake.]
What if I take a look at it? It's a long shot, but it might talk to me and tell me what's wrong. Then we could narrow down how much of it needs replacing.
[This is not a good explanation of basic technomancy in the slightest, but you try explaining when most of your previous experience with similarly advanced machines involved trashing them with a katana until they fell out of the sky.]
