I've been asking Bob a few questions about Doug and the Walk lately, but they've been spoilers so they were by e-mail. This one isn't a spoiler, and other folks might be interested in the answer, so...
When Doug's helmet computer is in combat mode, just how much of a hair-trigger is it on?
For example, which of these would trigger the healing song?
a) Doug says "System. I'm Alive. Play" - we've seen that work.
b) Somebody else says "System. I'm Alive. Play" while wearing the helmet.
c) Somebody else says "System. I'm Alive. Play" while beside the helmet.
d) Doug says "...blah blah blah System, I'm Alive. Play blah blah blah..." (replacing "blah blah blah" with normal dialogue)
e) Doug says "...blah blah blah system blah blah blah I'm Alive blah blah blah Play blah blah blah..." (again, replacing "blah blah blah" with normal dialogue)
f) Doug says "System", then waits for a few seconds, then says "I'm Alive", then waits for a minute, then says "Play".
g) Doug says "System", somebody else says something, Doug says "I'm Alive", somebody else says something, Doug says "Play".
