Anyone?

It's an orbiter decoration. Place it and then you can interact with it.

I'm guessing you can use it to text to the protoframes like Aoi and Arthur when the next update drops. Kinda like how you to have a relationship with them and text them while you're in the orbiter. Just like what they showcased in Tennocon.

What others have said but also for the younger folk its essentially a pager which back in the 90's was used to send quick messages/alerts for people to get back to you when available xD

Note: You called the central and spoke to a person that typed the message to be delivered. LOL

The OG version. OOof. That was hit or miss when the operator could not understand you. Good times.

Once the capability to email short pager-compliant messages eventually arrived for use with alphanumeric pagers, the need for a central switchboard fell off. Then all the cellphone makers added the ability for text messaging and pager services started dying with a quickness.

I fondly recall the night that all senior personnel and managers placed our now-defunct Motorola Advisor II+ alphapagers on our director's BBQ grill and lightly grilled them.

A device that allowed quick small messages to staff. They were very common in IT and other business fields. Largely replaced by modern texting, emails, and smart phones. I still have my old one and its belt holster!

It hurts hearing people not know what a pager is.

Young folks don't know what a pager is.

Well. I didn't know it's a decoration. Now I know. We both dumb.

[BEEP!]

The amount of people that think we don't know what a pager is funny.
What people want to know is what does it do in game does it have a purpose as of right now other than being a decoration that says No New Messages.

Admittedly unless there is some secret I don't think it will do anything till like September? or was it December? whenever the actual update for 1999 happens or maybe untitled 2024 update.

Technically 1999 is hitting "Winter of 2024", though I'd personally lean towards December just based on history.

Probably a mission indicator or a one-way pager.

If you get closer, you may hear this:

"Couldn't get anyone to take that on, early lunch for ko- Albrecht!"
