*Sighs* Bridge crew’s been looking for half an hour … relieve their worry, or give it another fifteen minutes?
Ateri might present himself as a straight-laced captain, but when it comes to his personal life and his mate Jakari, he does nothing in half-measures.
Although the current cover of Ten Thousand Miles Up (https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/146211) has the dear captain in a uniform, I’m still rather fond or the reinterpretations made for Skeleton Crew (http://gre7g.com/sc/). Both in the lack of onboard uniforms (and most clothing, really) and their (quite reasonable, if at times chaotic) cellphone culture.

Cell phones are small enough to probably not be affected by even a nuclear EMP... unless they were plugged into the power grid at the moment it hit. If powered off, they likely wouldn't be any more affected than your car. Remember, Hollywood and fiction most often gets EMP very very wrong, and grossly overstated. The US DoD recently released a big report on the subject to debunk as many myths as possible.
While it's true that modern solid-state electronics are highly vulnerable to the unique sort of surges caused by a nuclear EMP, the pulses still need a good antenna to couple with and generate a large enough voltage to damage those systems. Power lines are the ideal antenna grid, and commercial surge suppressors are too slow to stop this type of pulse, so anything plugged in is probably gonna get fried... but small independent devices like watches, cell phones, pacemakers, flashlights, and the like will probably be untouched. Even a laptop computer should be okay, if unplugged, and being powered down affords slightly more protection. Your car is almost certainly safe if it is an older model with a metal body and less computer sophistication, for the same insulating reason as why it's the safest place in a lightning storm. Incidentally, the effect EMP has on electronics is very similar to lighting damage.

Yeah, reality is so ''unrealistic''. Cuz all birds of prey shriek like an eagle, all snake species rattle, and horse hooves sound exactly like coconuts no matter what they walk on.
First, this picture made me miss my girlfriend. Second, I mourn the loss of feeling the guy's left arm is likely experiencing right now. He's probably been staring at the same vine video for the past five minutes because his thumb can't move, and he certainly isn't about to move his right hand.
