02-01 - Paper from heaven

Telegraph ticket tape? Given that Bob had a TV sacrificed to him once, one would think he would have at least sent a message via a grainy, low quality photograph. ...ah, but he has also been around since before the Dragon-Cubi War. Makes sense that his favored trans-universal communication method is less than cutting edge.

...that, or none of his followers send him anything newer yet.  :mowmeep
Conservative Democrat or Liberal Republican: You decide!
The Centrist line has moved a long way to the Right over the years.

I'd argue that's a horribly shallow argument, except it's completely true. ~ooklah

He could probably have sent them a nice A4 laser printout, but this is more his style.  I really wanted the answering machine in Xerian 1 chapter 9 to look more 1950s, but hey ho...

Yes. A society largely based on cooperation might not be geared up for someone who knows how to weaponise the law.  He could do a large amount of damage, if only by showing them what's possible for someone sufficiently ruthless.  And none of it would trip his safeguards.
