RoM01-3: "An Ambiance of Technology"

JeffScape is the second submission, and he's admitted that Jelly's "Fear of Writing" threw him for a loop. Worse, he's decided to return her the favor!

"AN AMBIANCE OF TECHNOLOGY"

This will be the theme for third chapter/entry of your story. If you forget any rules, refresh yourself here: 1st Annual "River of Mnemosyne" Challenge.

Some hopefully unnecessary reminders:

• Don't forget to annotate the Muse number when you link your entry ("An Ambiance of Technology" is #3)!
• Don't link until you've posted the entry on your site and link that entry directly (not your blog home page)
• If your link is in one of the first eight slots, please IMMEDIATELY post your suggested Muse topic in the comments or email it to an admin.
• Do the Muses in order! Just because the third Muse is up does not mean you are out of time to do the first two Muses. The only deadline is the overall deadline, which is February 21st (voting begins on the 22nd) 

As a convenience, here are the current Muses in one easy-to-find spot:

1. 1. "A Random Memory"
2. 2. "Fear of Writing"
3. 3. "An Ambiance of Technology"
