Caption: A few more awkward experiments later…
Alana: It is an amazing invention, but I don't think the world is ready for this.
Heidi: I agree, there is no way to control what it will reveal.

Heidi: Right. I still want to try one thing though, that won't expose people's private thoughts.
Alana: Now I am intrigued…
