Brownout Part I: Into the night

[Starman]

Jeremy walks over to the radio. He sets his bag down on the ground.

"Hey now, if you don't know what you're doin', you don't wanna be messin' with that. Let me have a look."

He grabs the radio and attempts to operate it.

 

[UnDfind]

Jaque: You manage a fair likeness of Bill's voice as you speak into the reciever. You immediately get a response from the other side.

"Yes sir, a unit has been dispatched to your location to deal with the problem. They should be there shortly. Now I just need you to stay calm and stay on the line if you can. Are there still gunshots in the street?"
_______________________________________

Jeremy: You manage to work out the controls, and get the volume turned up. A neutral sounding voice is talking.

"-eam Alpha, do you copy. I repeat, this is Foxtrot Base calling Flash Team Alpha, do you copy, over. If you are experiencing technical difficulties, activate in three minutes to give us an indication. If not, measures will be taken. Repeat, measures will be taken, over and out."

The radio's LED light stops blinking, and turns from red to green, apparently to signal the end of the communtication.

Jeremy takes a quick drag on his cigarette.

"Great, just what we need. 'Measures will be taken,'" he mocks.

He looks the radio and mumbles some curse. After one more quick drag on his cig he flicks the switch on the radio.

"Yeah, the uh...situation is under control. The locals caused some uh...trouble, but we uh...have it under control now."

[Bluff roll = 20 (Yeah!)+0=20]

After he lets go of the mike on the radio, he breathes a sigh.

"We better get goin'. There's no way they bought that."

 

[Zhure]

Ben

"Great, I don't like the whole 'measures' thing. Let's get rolling."

Ben tucks the batons under his leather jacket and takes off in a trot, hoping everyone else follows.

Father Flannigan

"These lads will certainly need someone to watch after them where they are going. Wait for me..."

Father Flannigan will shuffle behind the others after pocketing the key to the HUMVEE.

Jaque leaves the phone on the floor and walks away.

He collects his share of the soldiers' equipment on his way back to the accomodation.

"The police will be here soon, yes. Bill got in contact with them on the phone, so it seems. I shall be back in but a moment," he says as he passes and collects his equipment from the bed'n'breakfast in time to see people walking away.

"We must stop by mile marker 39," Jaque says as they get into the Hum-Vee, "Before that man died he said he left something buried under it. Just remembered that."

 

[Starman]

"Any of you see those other two that were with us? It's awfully strange that they just disappeared like that," Jeremy says as he grabs a seat in the Hummer.

Ben

Ben clambers in the Humvee as well. "I've never ridden in one of these, but they look cool."

What Humvee? You guys just found the keys.

But, if everyone is ready to go, you all DO find a humvee about three miles south, on the side of the road.

[edited]Ben eventually clambers in the Humvee as well. "I've never ridden in one of these, but they look cool. What was that, three miles? My feet are killing me."
