[periphrasing]

✆CHANNEL FREQUENCY: 319.03058
DESCRIPTION: Don't ask her about the significance of the number of her frequency. It's something about the production code of her favorite episode of CPH and some other significant numbers from that show, who even knows...

✉MAIL BOX LOCATION: Mailbox is on her door, it's shaped like a chicken???
DESCRIPTION: She doesn't really see the point of correspondence by mail. You're better off hitting up her radio or finding her in person if it's something important.

Mailbox - Holiday Gift

[One day during the winter vacation, Peridot will find that a book has been delivered to her cabin, along with a message scribbled on a piece of paper torn out of a notebook:]

Peridot,

This is for you.

-Rita Mordio

[It's... brief, to say the least, but it looks like this is a solstice present.]

[The book included with the note is titled Blips and Bloops: A Thesis on Mechanics. It describes the fundamentals of machines, going into extensive details of the physics behind them. Some of the information may be terribly primitive to Peridot, but it does provide a very Earthlike perspective of the field. At some point, the author goes off on a chapter-long tangent about his wishes and expectations for the future of mechanics, and all the ethical and philosophical implications of automation, artificial intelligence, and other advancements that don't seem to have been fully developed in his world just yet.]
