"Borrowed" data-sphere needs cracking. Help required.

I'll help! I don't know what that means but I like helping.

Help, in any way, shape or form, is always welcome.

I'm Darcy, by the way. What's your name?

My name's William. Everybody calls me Billy.

So what is this thing you need help with?

Pleased to meet you, Billy.

*shows him a large, circular sphere much like a fortune teller's crystal ball*

This.

Pleased to meet you too, Darcy.

Whoa. I bet it really hurts if you drop it on your foot.

What do you do with it?

*laughs*

Yeah, it probably would at that.

It's got information stored on it. A bit like a computer.

Its a lot prettier than a computer.

Well what's the crystal ball version of computer nerds? Let's find them to help us!

Hmm. I don't know whether that's such a good idea.

Thing is, I'm not meant to have this at all.

You aren't? Why not? Does it belong to someone else?

No, it's just... whatever's on here is pretty important. The people who used to have it, they didn't realize it though.

Well that's not your fault. Just make sure to do the right thing with the information. Can it help people? Can it hurt people?

If it is what I think it is, then it can really help people.

Then it doesn't matter if people get angry at us, its important to help people!

I completely agree!
