Out comes the plug and Maria's attention immediately shifts to the light. Flicking the switch seems to do little good after that.
Thankfully it doesn't seem too difficult for Maria to put things together. So makes an appreciative 'oh' sound. She more or less knew the thing wasn't alive or any such but now she definitely understands more.]
So the power comes from the spot in the wall then? How interesting! It's like some sort of machine then?
[Not that she knew a great deal about machines but she can confidently prattle on, possibly either much to Neo's amusement or chagrin:]
I've seen machines at home that run off of gears like clockworks or steam. Not particularly closely or in-depth of course. This isn't like those at all, hm?
[That much is clear though if whatever manages to power this little light comes from the wall.]
