[Filtered phone call to non-drone types]

Awright. I don't care if this gets me droned, or thinkin' I'm a commie all of a sudden or whatever the fuck is happenin' this week.

I just wanna say this: I am a cop, an' I ain't arrestin' anyone for being a goddamn Commie. Unless that Russia guy or whatever still lives in this town, there ain't no Commies. Got it? Now all of ya need ta get off the freakin' phone lines talkin' about people ya murdered or cookies ya stole or whatever the fuck. Jeez.

An' if I do start arrestin' people, ya know it ain't my fault. Mayfield did somethin' ta me. Look guys, I've been here way too long, an' I know how this shit works. Get off the phones, rip the cord outta tha wall, and hide down in yer basement 'r somethin'. Cuz when all the drones are even actin' nervous? Shit's gonna hit the fan for real.

The drones are acting nervous, too?

[He doesn't like the idea of "shit hitting the fan for real", he has not been here long but this is already striking him as pretty bad.]

Thank you for the warning.

Yeah. There ain't many on the street, an' our one drone kid was all worried about me when I was goin' out on patrol last night. Frickin' weird. Talk about a bad sign.

[volcanoes]

What happened last time they got nervous?

[so many filters]

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Now if only people'd listen. I know what I'm talkin' about here.

What happened last time the drones got nervous?

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Usually if somethin' bad's goin' on, they ignore it.

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

To be honest, I don't remember 'em actin' like this before. Maybe when the hazmats were around. But usually they kinda just stay outta the way.

[volcanoes]

...Oh. I just got here at the beginning of the month.

So this time could be worse.

I'm doing what I can, but I can feel the pressure on me as well.

I'm having to do a lot of house-calls - has a curfew actually been laid down, or is my drone-child just worried?

The drones are nervous? Oh shit.

Last time, the drones acknowledged anything, it was a total disaster. I don't want that to happen again. We need to start organizing now, before anything can happen.

[et-enfin.livejournal.com]

Oh, goodness! Has this happened to the drones before, Monsieur ?

Despite your amazing vocabulary, petit, some'ow you even manage to sound like 'er. Mon dieu.

Any'ow, what do you mean by "all the drones are actin' nervous"?

No, look, I'm done playin' this game. There are no commies here. None.
