I need more
More information.

Talk to me.

Your silence tells me all I need to know.

Author's note: The first line of International Morse Code is simply a question mark. The next is the word please, followed by help. Two dits form the letter I. Most people know the final one. If you don't, please look it up. These letters were copied and pasted from Wikipedia. The spacing didn't work on Vocal, so I added periods between letters.
