ZZ3K92: ”This is ZZ3K92 does anybody read me?…..This is ZZ3K92 is anyone receiving this message?…..This is ZZ3K92 is anyone out there?….My name is Richard Brace there is something terribly wrong with the Veil Station.”
ZZ3K92: ”This is ZZ3K92 I’m the facilities manager of the Lahaina Veil Station, is there anyone out there? We have an emergency. I’ve heard multiple explosions, power is out, and the network is down. I haven’t been able to call or message anyone. This is ZZ3K92 looking for any response. We’re going to need help. Does anyone hear me?”
Unknown Operator: “…is…..3…….barely hear…..coming……don’t….”
ZZ3K92: ”This is ZZ3K92 please repeat. This is Bracer, is that you Buddy? Paul, did you get to the radio? Please repeat.”
Unknown Operator: “….fire……with the…….not sure how long we…..”
ZZ3K92: ”This is ZZ3K92 please repeat! There’s a lot of interference. Where are you? I’m the facilities manager at the Veil Station in Lahaina. There’s been a major accident or attack, I’m not sure. There have been a number of explosions at the station. There was an earthquake earlier and an aftershock a few minutes ago. Something really bad is happening.”
Unknown Operator: “….Z…2 what do you see? ……where….”
ZZ3K92: “This is ZZ3K92 you’re coming in a little clearer. We need help. I haven’t heard sirens in a while. I was walking home for lunch when it happened. There were a number of explosions followed by one huge one. I don’t know if we’re under attack or what happened.”
Unknown Operator: “This is …3K9….. I made it to the emergency….anything from outside. I’ve tried using the….any information would be useful….”
ZZ3K92: “This is ZZ3K92. The big explosion sent a plume of burning 127 into the sky. It made a sound like wet burlap ripping, but really loud. I could see the stars for a second and then nothing but lightning. I think the 127 is reacting with something. I made it to the emergency shelter but I know nobody inside the station is alive. Many more are going to die if the 127 spreads. This is a major disaster. We need help immediately. Where are you located? Have you been able to contact anyone else?”
Unknown Operator: “..ZZ3….coherence failure, millions must be trapped mid transport.”
ZZ3K92: “This is ZZ3K92. Please say again. Are you saying this is happening everywhere? I repeat are you saying the entire network is fracturing? Have you been able to contact any agency for help? I have nothing over here.”
Unknown Operator: “This is ZZ3K92. I repeat we’re experiencing a complete failure of the veil network. I have been unable to contact any emergency agency. Power and communication grids appear to be down….”
ZZ3K92: “This is the real ZZ3K92, and you picked a really shitty time to screw around on the radio kid. There is an emergency going on here people are dying.”
Unknown Operator: “I’ve been registered as ZZ3K92 for over 15 years, but I agree now is not the time to troll your dad’s HAM radio set. My name is Richard Brace, I’m a senior engineer at the Veil Station in Lahaina. I’m afraid the veil network has suffered a coherence failure. I need you to call the authorities and let them know…..”
ZZ3K92: “I’m serious! Get help or get off the air! There are people dying out there. This isn’t a joke! Now is not the time to play on the radio. We need help immediately! Also, get it right, I’m the facilities manager, not a senior engineer.”
Unknown Operator: “Get off the radio! There is a serious incident in Lahaina right now and I’m afraid it’s affecting other stations as well. People are going to need help. I don’t have time for someone who thinks it’s funny to pretend to be me during an emergency, who does that? And I was facilities manager until I finished my Ph.D. I guess it’s been a while since you read our About page.”
ZZ3K92: “Last warning! Get off the radio and get some help. I don’t have time for this!”
Unknown Operator: “This is ZZ3K92. We are executing Niner Alpha Lima, all stations shut down immediately! Scuttle scuttle scuttle permanent code Charlie Joker Fiver November Niner.”
ZZ3K92: “How do you know the emergency shutdown code?”
Unknown Operator: “This is ZZ3K92. We …..Alpha Lima, all stations shutdown….permanent code Charlie Joker….Niner. I repeat, the Veil…. failure!”
ZZ3K92: “I….I’m….I don’t know what to think. How is this possible? If you are really who I think you are…things are worse than I thought. There isn’t anyone to call, is there?”
Unknown Operator: “I think the veil has….the only explanation that I……right, I don’t know who’d you call about…….safe until help arrives or things…..”
ZZ3K92: “I’m losing you again. Can you please repeat?”
Unknown Operator: “…..again…….inside. I think if we could……there?”
ZZ3K92: “This is ZZ3K92. Are you there ZZ3K92? ZZ3K92 can you hear me?”
Unknown Operator: “…safe….detanglement…shutdown….”
ZZ3K92: “This is ZZ3K92. I didn’t catch that. Please say again….ZZ3K92 are you there?……ZZ3K92 do you read?……ZZ3K92? This is ZZ3K92, good luck in whatever world you are in Richard.”
