So, this Smith thing? I'm goin' to it. Yeah it's a bad idea, whatevah, blah blah blah. Someone's gotta find out what's goin' on, right? Might as well be me!

I heard some of ya are thinkin' 'a goin' too. So who's in with me? Any plans?

[A pause.]

Is there like, ANY of my team left in this stinkin' town 'r what? Engie? Doc? Youse guys still alive, right?

I'm going!

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Sweet! Ya got any theories as ta what they might be plannin'?

[evers-hacker.livejournal.com]

Hmmm, I'm thinking that they might lock us in the house and screw around with us...

...But something looks odd on that invitation though, wasn't there a John Smith?

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Prob'ly. Same ol' same ol', right?

Yeah! That's what I thought. I mean, "Jack" is a nickname fer John, so I mean, it could still be the same guy? But that don't mean they couldn't 'a swapped out the old drnoe fer a new one, right? Happens all the time 'round here.

[evers-hacker.livejournal.com]

Right!

Yeah, but that only happened to families that had people like us, right? It seems kinda weird that a drone family would have one of their own swapped out for another drone. But, no point worrying about that yet...

...Still, there's no way I'm going there unarmed.

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's a little fishy fer sure. I guess tomorrah we'll find out if it's a new guy 'r not.

Oh yeah! I don't go anywhere in this town with at least my pistol on me. Ya need a weapon?

[evers-hacker.livejournal.com]

Ah, yeah. I've got my sniper rifle back, but I doubt that will be much help inside a house possibly full of people.

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

I got a coupla spares, I can lend ya one. I know that girls have a hard time gettin' guns around here.

A sniper rifle, huh? That's pretty sweet!

[evers-hacker.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Scout! I owe you one.

Hehe, it's kinda old, but it still works pretty well.

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

No problem, pally!

Too bad ya weren't here when my team's Sniper was. Say whatcha want about the guy, but he was a real good shot. Ya coulda talked some shop with him. Ya any good with it?

[evers-hacker.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I like to say I'm a pretty good shot. [This is the closest to smug that April will ever be.]

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Good ta know! That might come in handy here someday.

[evers-hacker.livejournal.com]

Yep!

...Oh, I'll also be bringing my dog along as well! I'll be keeping him outside while we're in the house though, so that he can keep watch in case anything weird happens.

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

You got a watchdog? That's pretty cool. Sounds good!

[evers-hacker.livejournal.com]

Watchdog? Yeah, I guess you can call him that. [Said dog is also made out of electricity.]
