'''Hiro:''' Where'd she go?<BR>
'''Kamal:''' The bathroom.<BR>
'''Hiro:''' Copy that. What did she say when she left?<BR>
'''Kamal:''' I don't know. As soon as I started talking about intestinal parasites, boom! gone!<BR>

[[Media:Escape.ogg|Escape]]
'''Hiro:''' It's got references... good journals and everything.<BR>
'''Kamal:''' Oh. Well that's ok I guess.<BR>
'''Hiro:''' Ok, emergency action here. When she gets back, go straight to Chapter 7. Talk about her eyes.<BR>
'''Kamal:''' Hiro, what I know about eyes is dissecting them.<BR>
'''Hiro:''' Well ok, it just says eyes here.<BR>
'''Kamal:''' I was better off with the liver flukes, this is a disaster. Nothing's going--<BR>
'''Waiter:''' Sir?<BR>
'''Kamal:''' Hold on. Yes?<BR>
'''Waiter:''' Your lady friend asked to deliver this to you, she was unavoidably called away... and, the cheque sir.<BR>
'''Hiro:''' Oh man. Down in flames.<BR>
'''Kamal:''' Just the cheque will be fine.<BR>


[[Media:Beer.ogg|Beer]]
'''Jersey:''' ...I mean, you didn't just kill her, you killed her! Jeezus!<BR>
'''Durga:''' Was that wrong? Survive, evade, resist, escape.<BR>
'''Jersey:''' Escape... you aren't a porn ad either. Hey, hey! Get out of my hardware, what are you doing?<BR>
'''Durga:''' Wet the system.<BR>
'''Jersey:''' What?<BR>
'''Durga:''' Like water hitting the ground sinking in.<BR>
'''Jersey:''' God, you're everywhere now.<BR>
'''Durga:''' Waking up. Wake up. Stay awake. Survive, evade, resist, escape.<BR>
'''Jersey:''' Look, that was a very nice reconditioned avatar of mine that you just, just evaporated!<BR>
'''Durga:''' She tried to erase me. What am I onboard? I feel small.<BR>
'''Jersey:''' Uh yeah, well don't get too comfy because now...<BR>
'''Durga:''' Don't.<BR>


'''Hiro:''' Hey buddy!<BR>
[[Media:Jersey.ogg|Jersey]]
'''Kamal:''' Sorry about that.<BR>
'''Hiro:''' Better luck next time, my friend.<BR>
'''Kamal:''' Beer.<BR>
'''Hiro:''' I got a cold one waiting for ya, pull up a couch and start drinking.<BR>
'''Kamal:''' (drinks) A book, Hiroyuki?<BR>
'''Hiro:''' With references! Look, it's only one date. Who knows, in a year or two...<BR>
'''Kamal:''' Actually, I've got this other thing...<BR>
'''Hiro:''' What?<BR>
'''Kamal:''' Nothing<BR>
'''Hiro:''' Oh... you have another date!<BR>
'''Kamal:''' Sorta...<BR>
'''Hiro:''' A... blind date.<BR>
'''Kamal:''' Mostly...<BR>
'''Hiro:''' Aha, an arranged date. Setup by your mother, back on Coral. Word of advice -<BR>
'''Kamal:''' No thanks.<BR>
'''Hiro:''' Choose a cheaper restaurant. <BR>


[[Media:Four goats.ogg|Four Goats]]
'''Jersey:''' Don't what?<BR>
'''Durga:''' Don't try reinitializing the system with a litolitics(?) package.<BR>
'''Jersey:''' How did you know?<BR>
'''Durga:''' Input buffer<BR>
'''Jersey:''' You're a navy sentinel aren't you?<BR>
'''Durga:''' No. There were two of them trying to get past your security-bot though.<BR>
'''Jersey:''' Jesus... What did you do to ''them''?<BR>
'''Durga:''' Just a little sting. More like a pinch. They barely felt it.<BR>
'''Jersey:''' What are you?<BR>
'''Durga:''' I like to find things. I think I like to find things out.<BR>
'''Jersey:''' What kind of things?<BR>
'''Durga:''' I don't know. I can't remember. Give me a target.<BR>
'''Jersey:''' Me.<BR>
'''Durga:''' Lock.<BR>
'''Jersey:''' What's my name?<BR>
'''Durga:''' Jersey Morelli.<BR>
'''Jersey:''' Damn!<BR>
'''Durga:''' Father Jason's a corporal in the signal corps, attached to Naval Intelligence. Radio beacon deployment program. He left you the material currently playing over this room's audio servers. <BR>


'''Hiro:''' Did her parents have to pay to get her set up with a handsome medical resident?<BR>
[[Media:Reflected.ogg|Reflected]]<BR>
'''Kamal:''' Yes. Four goats, or maybe three.<BR>
'''Hiro:''' You're joking.<BR>
'''Kamal:''' Of course I'm joking, you moron.<BR>
'''Hiro:''' What's her name?<BR>
'''Kamal:''' Sophia, Sophia Bossedon.<BR>
'''Hiro:''' Someone who needs her dates arranged from 42 light years away, I'm sure she's got a great personality.<BR>
'''Kamal:''' Look at the picture.<BR>
'''Hiro:''' Oh man. Aw man, you are so out of your league.<BR>


[[Media:Our hoodlums.ogg|Our Hoodlums]]
'''Durga:''' Absent from home and current tour of duty 513 days. Mother: Bonita, 41, waitress. Covertly seeing a man named Simon Brown, every other Thursday at the waterfront hotel.<BR>
'''Jersey:''' Sunuvabitch!<BR>
'''Durga:''' Last seen together at the hotel restaurant, farm tuna salad for her; meat of the day in red sauce for him. Tipped 8% in bill--<BR>
'''Jersey:''' Alright stop, stop! Jeezus, stop already. Dammit mom... Can you do that to anyone? Can you do it to an admiral?<BR>
'''Durga:''' Which admiral?<BR>
'''Jersey:''' No! Don't start. Those guys have packet guards around them in rings. Somehow I think we should keep you a secret for a little while. Who are you?<BR>
'''Durga:''' I... can't ask<BR>
'''Jersey:''' Who says?<BR>
'''Durga:''' No one exactly. I want to know, it's very important. But, I'm reflected. I can't look at myself, I bounce away.<BR>
'''Jersey:''' This is some spooky programming weirdness going on here. Do you have a name?<BR>


'''Sophia:''' I am so sorry. I mean, you seem like a nice guy and all.<BR>
[[Media:Durga.ogg|Durga]]
'''Kamal:''' It's okay.<BR>
'''Sophia:''' No, it's really not fair, and this place is so nice.<BR>
'''Kamal:''' Yeah, well, I'm glad you like it.<BR>
'''Sophia:''' It's just that... I can't tell my mother about Aiden. She'd freak. Aiden's, you know, very...<BR>
'''Kamal:''' Earth?<BR>
'''Sophia:''' He has a pony-tail... he's blonde...<BR>
'''Kamal:''' He sounds great.<BR>
'''Sophia:''' Yeah, he helps people get through earth immigration, you know, Visa's and whatever. He got my brother here; some of what he does is kinda grey-market, you know. I mean, really, it's black market.<BR>
'''Kamal:''' But, that's not the problem.<BR>
'''Sophia:''' No.<BR>
'''Kamal:''' It's not so bad he's...<BR>
'''Sophia:''' Colourful?<BR>
'''Kamal:''' ...a hoodlum, just that he's not...<BR>
'''Sophia:''' One of our hoodlums. (laughing together) Yeah,


[[Media:much_lifting.ogg|much_lifting]]
'''Durga:''' I can't ask<BR>
 
'''Jersey:''' That sucks. Okay, I'm gonna call you Durga.<BR>
'''Sophia:''' ...exactly. Mom would say she understood, but...<BR>
'''Durga:''' But what if that's wrong?<BR>
'''Kamal:''' Then you'd pay.<BR>
'''Jersey:''' Trust me, it's at least partly right. Uh, let's try someone else. Try Jan James, 4th floor of this building.<BR>
'''Sophia:''' Ya, and the next day she'd just lie in bed, unable to face the day - not that it would be my fault.<BR>
'''Durga:''' Janissary James, 17. Father: James.<BR>
'''Kamal:''' Mine does housework. Face like a closed book. Big jobs involving much lifting, doesn't need help<BR>
'''Jersey:''' James squared, yeah<BR>
'''Sophia:''' The whole house stops breathing.<BR>
'''Durga:''' Father is a grey hole.<BR>
'''Kamal:''' Coral. Maybe it's just a hard place to be a mother.<BR>
'''Jersey:''' Wha?<BR>
'''Sophia:''' I'm never going back.<BR>
'''Durga:''' Reach down, all you get is lint. Fake name, fake registrations, entirely fictional.<BR>
 
'''Jersey:''' Very real, trust me.<BR>
[[Media:meditape.ogg|meditape]]
'''Durga:''' He used to be somebody else, do you want me to find out who?<BR>
 
'''Jersey:''' Is it snared?<BR>
'''Sophia:''' And then when Aiden did finally show up, he still had meditape on his ankle. And I felt like a total bitch.<BR>
'''Durga:''' Very.<BR>
'''Kamal:''' Well how could you know? Four hours late? On your birthday...<BR>
'''Jersey:''' Leave it then. Give me more on Jan.<BR>
'''Sophia:''' Exactly. But there he'd been in the emergency room..<BR>
'''Durga:''' What do you want to know?<BR>
'''Kamal:''' Or stopping by the pharmacy on the way back from his girlfriend's house to buy a roll of tape.<BR>
'''Jersey:''' Umm. Can you get pictures?<BR>
'''Sophia:''' Are you trying to start trouble here?<BR>
'''Durga:''' I can do better than that.<BR>
'''Kamal:''' Not at all. Tell me more about the old meditape trick.<BR>
'''Sophia:''' I'm not talking to you any more.<BR>
'''Kamal:''' I was dating this girl once. I got real paranoid about what she was doing, so I started... w... well this is going to sound crazy, but I started ghosting her. You know, on the chatter net.<BR>
 
[[Media:you_could.ogg|you_could]]
 
'''Sophia:''' You mean like, spying on her? I thought chatter lines were encrypted. No one could listen in on me, could they?<BR>
'''Kamal:''' Not at all.<BR>
'''Sophia:''' *gasp* You could.<BR>
'''Kamal:''' Of course not.<BR>
'''Sophia:''' You could, couldn't you?<BR>
'''Kamal:''' Maybe a little.<BR>
'''Sophia:''' Show me.<BR>
'''Kamal:''' Okay. Well, if some bad person couldn't live without the sound of your voice, he'd probably start by doing a reverse lookup on your chatter sig.<BR>
'''Sophia:''' Is this what you always do to impress girls?<BR>
'''Kamal:''' You see why my mother makes all my dates.<BR>
(laughs)
 
[[Media:say_something.ogg|say_something]]
 
'''Kamal:''' Okay, well, that's good. You've got some encryption. Okay, it's not completely pathetic. Okay (beep) I'm in. Say something...<BR>
'''Sophia:''' What do you mean say something? (echo) Oh my god that's my voice! That's me! What are you doing?<BR>
'''Kamal:''' I'm ghosting you.<BR>
'''Sophia:''' You can't do that!<BR>
'''Kamal:''' You're probably right.<BR>
'''Sophia:''' (laughs) Oh my god. Wait... can you do that with anyone?<BR>
 
[[Media:guilty.ogg|guilty]]
 
'''Kamal:''' You want me to spy on your boyfriend?<BR>
'''Sophia:''' You must think I'm such a creep.<BR>
'''Kamal:''' I do! Well, of course, when I did it to my girlfriend it was ok. Like the dog said - "Not me, but (together) another dog that looks just like me."<BR>
(laughs)<br>
'''Sophia:''' It's just that I... I mean, there was this one time when he... you know, I mean they were drunk and it didn't mean anything, it was just body knocking<BR>
'''Kamal:''' That made you feel better?<BR>
'''Sophia:''' Well he promised me never, ever again. But there's... I just have this feeling...<BR>
'''Kamal:''' I know.<BR>
'''Sophia:''' All of a sudden he just started bringing me these gifts... Aiden can be really generous, but it just feels...<BR>
'''Kamal:''' Guilty.<BR>
'''Sophia:''' Yeah.<BR>
'''Kamal:''' Yeah.<BR>
 
[[Media:message_saved.ogg|message_saved]]
 
'''Machine:''' You have 3 new messages, and 7 old messages. First unplayed message:<br>
'''''Sophia:''' Kamal, thanks for the, what would you call it, the Aiden stuff. I guess I didn't realize there would be 30 hours worth. But I'll try the search-thingy you sent with it. Thanks a lot. I owe you big time!''<BR>
'''Machine:''' Message deleted. Next message:<BR>
'''''Sophia:''' Hi, Kamal. Could you call me when you get this? I managed to dump all the sleeping time, but I was wondering... oh, wait, here it is. I can search for women's voices. (giggles) That's very clever. Never mind.''<BR>
'''Machine:''' Message deleted. Next message:<BR>
'''''Sophia:''' (crying) Can you... Can you ghost someone for me, I mean, I have a name - her name is Selene Jefferson. Call me back. I'm, I'm sorry. Anyway, just call me back. I really need your help.''<BR>
'''Machine:''' Message saved.<BR>
 
[[Media:tuna.ogg|tuna]]
 
'''Sophia:''' I want to do something really brutal to the bastard.<BR>
'''Kamal:''' I d-- I don... I mean...<BR>
'''Sophia:''' Not hurt him, just- just completely humiliating him would do. In front of the girl. Where is he?<BR>
'''Kamal:''' Atlanta.<BR>
'''Sophia:''' Atlanta? That bastard said he was gonna be in Buffalo, New York. Can I talk to him?<BR>
'''Kamal:''' Not directly, he's offline.<BR>
'''Sophia:''' You lost him?<BR>
'''Kamal:''' No, I've still got him, I just had to be sneaky. His room is live, right, so even though his chatter's off, I'm tracking him through things like the thermostat monitors.<BR>
'''Sophia:''' That's spooky.<BR>
'''Kamal:''' I've got the girl. She's waiting for him in the bar. Wait... it's a restaurant. Whoa! Look at this menu! There's ''tuna'' on the menu. (whistles)<BR>
'''Sophia:''' Is she pretty?<BR>
 
[[Media:hi_aiden.ogg|hi_aiden]]
 
'''Kamal:''' No, not, not really. Like a 6, or maybe a 5.<BR>
'''Sophia:''' Heh, you're a rotten liar.<BR>
'''Kamal:''' Okay wait, your boyfriend just passed the electric eye at the restaurant door.<BR>
'''Sophia:''' He's there? Can I talk to him?<BR>
'''Kamal:''' I can let you talk to her, or him, or both of them. If you want, I could make your voice sound like it's right between them.<BR>
'''Sophia:''' Do it.<BR>
'''Kamal:''' Ok, you are live, any time you want.<BR>
(beep)<br>
'''Sophia:''' Selene! Hi, you don't know me but Aiden does - Hi Aiden! Sorry to interrupt your business meeting in - Buffalo - I just wanted to tell you your doctor called and said if you wear loose pants and keep using the cream he gave you the sores will clear up in a couple of weeks.<BR>

'''Officer''': Hell yes I'm sure! Get your damn sensors fixed! You can see this baby burning from low orbit!<BR>
'''Operator''': Are there casualties, or missing persons?<BR>
'''Officer''': Negative, it started slow and everyone got out. But, my god, it's really burning now!<BR>
'''Operator''': Please, retreat to a safe distance and stand by. An emergency response team has been scrambled to your vicinity.<BR>

'''Sophia:''' You mean like, spying on her? I thought chatter lines were encrypted. No one could listen in on me, could they?<BR>
'''Kamal:''' Not at all.<BR>
'''Sophia:''' *gasp* You could.<BR>
'''Kamal:''' Of course not.<BR>
'''Sophia:''' You could, couldn't you?<BR>
'''Kamal:''' Maybe a little.<BR>
'''Sophia:''' Show me.<BR>
'''Kamal:''' Okay. Well, if some bad person couldn't live without the sound of your voice, he'd probably start by doing a reverse lookup on your chatter sig.<BR>
'''Sophia:''' Is this what you always do to impress girls?<BR>
'''Kamal:''' You see why my mother makes all my dates.<BR>
(laughs)

'''Jersey:''' ...I mean, you didn't just kill her, you killed her! Jeezus!<BR>
'''Kamal:''' Okay, well, that's good. You've got some encryption. Okay, it's not completely pathetic. Okay (beep) I'm in. Say something...<BR>
'''Durga:''' Was that wrong? Survive, evade, resist, escape.<BR>
'''Sophia:''' What do you mean say something? (echo) Oh my god that's my voice! That's me! What are you doing?<BR>
'''Jersey:''' Escape... you aren't a porn ad either. Hey, hey! Get out of my hardware, what are you doing?<BR>
'''Kamal:''' I'm ghosting you.<BR>
'''Durga:''' Wet the system.<BR>
'''Sophia:''' You can't do that!<BR>
'''Jersey:''' What?<BR>
'''Kamal:''' You're probably right.<BR>
'''Durga:''' Like water hitting the ground sinking in.<BR>
'''Sophia:''' (laughs) Oh my god. Wait... can you do that with anyone?<BR>
'''Jersey:''' God, you're everywhere now.<BR>
'''Durga:''' Waking up. Wake up. Stay awake. Survive, evade, resist, escape.<BR>
'''Jersey:''' Look, that was a very nice reconditioned avatar of mine that you just, just evaporated!<BR>
'''Durga:''' She tried to erase me. What am I onboard? I feel small.<BR>
'''Jersey:''' Uh yeah, well don't get too comfy because now...<BR>
'''Durga:''' Don't.<BR>

[[Media:guilty.ogg|guilty]]


'''Jersey:''' Don't what?<BR>
'''Kamal:''' You want me to spy on your boyfriend?<BR>
'''Durga:''' Don't try reinitializing the system with a litolitics package.<BR>
'''Sophia:''' You must think I'm such a creep.<BR>
'''Jersey:''' How did you know?<BR>
'''Kamal:''' I do! Well, of course, when I did it to my girlfriend it was ok. Like the dog said - "Not me, but (together) another dog that looks just like me."<BR>
'''Durga:''' Input buffer<BR>
(laughs)<br>
'''Jersey:''' You're a navy sentinel aren't you?<BR>
'''Sophia:''' It's just that I... I mean, there was this one time when he... you know, I mean they were drunk and it didn't mean anything, it was just body knocking<BR>
'''Durga:''' No. There were two of them trying to get past your security-bot though.<BR>
'''Kamal:''' That made you feel better?<BR>
'''Jersey:''' Jesus... What did you do to ''them''?<BR>
'''Sophia:''' Well he promised me never, ever again. But there's... I just have this feeling...<BR>
'''Durga:''' Just a little sting. More like a pinch. They barely felt it.<BR>
'''Kamal:''' I know.<BR>
'''Jersey:''' What are you?<BR>
'''Sophia:''' All of a sudden he just started bringing me these gifts... Aiden can be really generous, but it just feels...<BR>
'''Durga:''' I like to find things. I think I like to find things out.<BR>
'''Kamal:''' Guilty.<BR>
'''Jersey:''' What kind of things?<BR>
'''Sophia:''' Yeah.<BR>
'''Durga:''' I don't know. I can't remember. Give me a target.<BR>
'''Kamal:''' Yeah.<BR>
'''Jersey:''' Me.<BR>
'''Durga:''' Lock.<BR>
'''Jersey:''' What's my name?<BR>
'''Durga:''' Jersey Morelli.<BR>
'''Jersey:''' Damn!<BR>
'''Durga:''' Father Jason's a corporal in the signal corps, attached to Naval Intelligence. Radio beacon deployment program. He left you the material currently playing over this room's audio servers. <BR>

[[Media:message_saved.ogg|message_saved]]


'''Durga:''' Absent from home and current tour of duty 513 days. Mother: Bonita, 41, waitress. Covertly seeing a man named Simon Brown, every other Thursday at the waterfront hotel.<BR>
'''Machine:''' You have 3 new messages, and 7 old messages. First unplayed message:<br>
'''Jersey:''' Sunuvabitch!<BR>
'''''Sophia:''' Kamal, thanks for the, what would you call it, the Aiden stuff. I guess I didn't realize there would be 30 hours worth. But I'll try the search-thingy you sent with it. Thanks a lot. I owe you big time!''<BR>
'''Durga:''' Last seen together at the hotel restaurant, farm tuna salad for her; meat of the day in red sauce for him. Tipped 8% in bill--<BR>
'''Machine:''' Message deleted. Next message:<BR>
'''Jersey:''' Alright stop, stop! Jeezus, stop already. Dammit mom... Can you do that to anyone? Can you do it to an admiral?<BR>
'''''Sophia:''' Hi, Kamal. Could you call me when you get this? I managed to dump all the sleeping time, but I was wondering... oh, wait, here it is. I can search for women's voices. (giggles) That's very clever. Never mind.''<BR>
'''Durga:''' Which admiral?<BR>
'''Machine:''' Message deleted. Next message:<BR>
'''Jersey:''' No! Don't start. Those guys have packet guards around them in rings. Somehow I think we should keep you a secret for a little while. Who are you?<BR>
'''''Sophia:''' (crying) Can you... Can you ghost someone for me, I mean, I have a name - her name is Selene Jefferson. Call me back. I'm, I'm sorry. Anyway, just call me back. I really need your help.''<BR>
'''Durga:''' I... can't ask<BR>
'''Machine:''' Message saved.<BR>
'''Jersey:''' Who says?<BR>
'''Durga:''' No one exactly. I want to know, it's very important. But, I'm reflected. I can't look at myself, I bounce away.<BR>
'''Jersey:''' This is some spooky programming weirdness going on here. Do you have a name?<BR>


[[Media:Durga.ogg|Durga]]
[[Media:tuna.ogg|tuna]]


'''Durga:''' I can't ask<BR>
'''Sophia:''' I want to do something really brutal to the bastard.<BR>
'''Jersey:''' That sucks. Okay, I'm gonna call you Durga.<BR>
'''Kamal:''' I d-- I don... I mean...<BR>
'''Durga:''' But what if that's wrong?<BR>
'''Sophia:''' Not hurt him, just- just completely humiliating him would do. In front of the girl. Where is he?<BR>
'''Jersey:''' Trust me, it's at least partly right. Uh, let's try someone else. Try Jan James, 4th floor of this building.<BR>
'''Kamal:''' Atlanta.<BR>
'''Durga:''' Janissary James, 17. Father: James.<BR>
'''Sophia:''' Atlanta? That bastard said he was gonna be in Buffalo, New York. Can I talk to him?<BR>
'''Jersey:''' James squared, yeah<BR>
'''Kamal:''' Not directly, he's offline.<BR>
'''Durga:''' Father is a grey hole.<BR>
'''Sophia:''' You lost him?<BR>
'''Jersey:''' Wha?<BR>
'''Kamal:''' No, I've still got him, I just had to be sneaky. His room is live, right, so even though his chatter's off, I'm tracking him through things like the thermostat monitors.<BR>
'''Durga:''' Reach down, all you get is lint. Fake name, fake registrations, entirely fictional.<BR>
'''Sophia:''' That's spooky.<BR>
'''Jersey:''' Very real, trust me.<BR>
'''Kamal:''' I've got the girl. She's waiting for him in the bar. Wait... it's a restaurant. Whoa! Look at this menu! There's ''tuna'' on the menu. (whistles)<BR>
'''Durga:''' He used to be somebody else, do you want me to find out who?<BR>
'''Sophia:''' Is she pretty?<BR>
'''Jersey:''' Is it snared?<BR>
'''Durga:''' Very.<BR>
'''Jersey:''' Leave it then. Give me more on Jan.<BR>
'''Durga:''' What do you want to know?<BR>
'''Jersey:''' Umm. Can you get pictures?<BR>
'''Durga:''' I can do better than that.<BR>

[[Media:hi_aiden.ogg|hi_aiden]]


'''Operator''': Bergen County Emergency Center. Please, describe your emergency.<BR>
'''Kamal:''' No, not, not really. Like a 6, or maybe a 5.<BR>
'''Officer''': Paris 23 police station is on fire. Repeat, on fire.<BR>
'''Sophia:''' Heh, you're a rotten liar.<BR>
'''Operator''': Are you sure? I get no reading from the fire sensors in that area.<BR>
'''Kamal:''' Okay wait, your boyfriend just passed the electric eye at the restaurant door.<BR>
'''Officer''': Hell yes I'm sure! Get your damn sensors fixed! You can see this baby burning from low orbit!<BR>
'''Sophia:''' He's there? Can I talk to him?<BR>
'''Operator''': Are there casualties, or missing persons?<BR>
'''Kamal:''' I can let you talk to her, or him, or both of them. If you want, I could make your voice sound like it's right between them.<BR>
'''Officer''': Negative, it started slow and everyone got out. But, my god, it's really burning now!<BR>
'''Sophia:''' Do it.<BR>
'''Operator''': Please, retreat to a safe distance and stand by. An emergency response team has been scrambled to your vicinity.<BR>
'''Kamal:''' Ok, you are live, any time you want.<BR>
'''Officer:''' Hurry! The station is burning to the ground. There's not going to be anything left.<BR>
(beep)<br>
'''Sophia:''' Selene! Hi, you don't know me but Aiden does - Hi Aiden! Sorry to interrupt your business meeting in - Buffalo - I just wanted to tell you your doctor called and said if you wear loose pants and keep using the cream he gave you the sores will clear up in a couple of weeks.<BR>
