What would an electrified piece of metal look like to a probe?  Sure they could identify the metal, but what about the electric field?  A direct touch with a sensor would certainly interfere with the proper operation of the sensor, i.e. Bette's not being able to see for 2.4 seconds, or whatever it was. <p>Further, what if the rocktalk has to do with electric currents?  Someone who knows about this will have to confirm/deny, since I don't know anything about it.  Does electricity run in cycles/second of prime numbers (i.e. 5 cycles/second, etc.) that go higher as the voltage increases?  If I'm way off on this, maybe Daniel was trying to tell the other probes how to activate/deactivate metal/not metal objects, or how to interact with them safely.<p>Grasping at straws,<br>-Psiclops
