[speaking hard and clear, although there's the occasional ragged edge around the pauses; he's not exactly fresh, but plenty lucid]

City hall.

Allegedly, these things should be slowing soon. Somebody got at the source. Maybe. This place's mostly clear, anyway.

Spy satellite?

Possibility of a war, then?

voice. (japanese?, unhackable)

[leatherrr]

Possibility. Yes. Depending on interpretation and... ambiguous evidence.

voice. (japanese, unhackable)

[notpanties]

Makes you think about the apparent plague that wiped out the people who used to live here.

I mean, I may be assuming too much, but the more we know about what happened, the more we'll be able to do toward getting out of this place.

voice. (japanese, unhackable)

[leatherrr]

... Bioterrorism? Backwards. Forwards. Not enough fucking evidence.

Assuming can be a double-edge. Most people are assuming the other way.

OOC || Small is mumbled/unintelligible.

[asymmetriphobic]

Somebody got to the source? Finally.

I wonder if this means there are others spying on us, besides just these scientists...

voice. (english?)

[leatherrr]

[snort] Least we now know how one of the many monsters around here breed. I guess.

...

Maybe. Maybe not. --They're not doing a very good job, in either case.

[voice] (lol I figure, he speaks 'em both)

[asymmetriphobic]

Breeding. Great...

Well, it had to be up there for something. I doubt crashing was their main objective... but then again...

voice. (english)

[leatherrr]

Breeding, budding, binary fission, what the fuck ever. All the shit around here is multiplying. Too bad more of 'em aren't edible.

Then again. [question/statement/both]

[priceoftruth]

A spy satellite, huh. Wonder what they're looking for.

voice. (english)

[leatherrr]

[brief amused noise] Were. Nothing, so far, but it hasn't self-destructed or lasered anybody in the face yet.

[voice, english]

[priceoftruth]

Heh. Just because one's come crashing down doesn't mean there aren't others. I guess it's a small plus to all of this that the piece of junk hasn't hurt anyone.

voice. (english, unhackable)

[leatherrr]

Not directly, and I haven't found any limbs in the wreckage, so you might even be right.

[prodigal_axe]

Did those fuckers stop coming, or what?

voice. (english)

[leatherrr]

Shouldn't be spawning more, unless there's another nest of them somewhere. [that might be humor or it might just be pessimism]

Now's just cutting the rest down. Have fun.

Re: voice. (english)

[prodigal_axe]

Haven't seen many over this way. Looks like they're drying up.

voice. (english)

[leatherrr]

Twenty-one dead at last count. [he's so matter-of-fact you'd think he was talking about Heaven Smiles instead of cityfolk] Bet that's not the worst this place's seen, but I haven't been here long enough to tell.

voice. (english)

[otheboysawonder]

Describe the satellite to me.

voice. (english, unhackable)

[leatherrr]

Video not enough for you?

It's long and hard and metal-colored. You can see the rest for yourself if you have time to kill.

OOC || Mello says he is not going over a house-sized piece of technology with you over this thing, Robin. :|

voice. (english, unhackable)

[otheboysawonder]

I'll be by there sometime this afternoon. Don't let anyone gut the thing until I get there.

voice. (english, unhackable)

[leatherrr]

Nobody's going to be gutting this until it runs out of juice on its own.
