Case #43: Audio (Those still on board + Repomen)

[19centconstable]

[George sounds suitably distraught by the few transmission trickling back to the Barge.]

What on Earth is going on out there? Everyone is making very little sense, and there was a very disturbing broadcast made. There have been very few check-ins as well. How many went to port? Has something happened to them?

Detective Hoffman, please check in!

I'm beginning to fear the worst.

I know the feeling, I'm afraid. I have been taught how to use it more than once and I can still barely wrap my mind around it...

But perhaps it is best to try and ask him to check in, if only to know if he can.

When is it you're from, Mr.-...?

Re: [voice]

[totesafightinggrace]

Po, just Po. And I came here from the twenty-ninth year of Ror City, though I doubt that means much to you. And may I have your name?

Re: [voice]

I'm afraid it doesn't, but it's a pleasure nonetheless.

I'm Constable Crabtree; Constable George Crabtree.

It is good to meet you, Constable, even in these circumstances.

[It might not be apparent yet, but George might find soon that Po won't call him by any name but "Constable". He's never heard the title; he thinks it's his new acquaintance's name.]

Hopefully they'll soon improve.

[Unfortunately, being from the 19th century, George may never notice as everyone back home calls him "Constable" all of the time too.]
