Sooooo. I went and talked to Protector-and he told me that without his maps of the Omegabase, which he kept in the omegabase even he doesn't know where all the entrances of the base are. I mean, not all the phones in town are entrances, are they? Right?

...Guys, please tell me we aren't going to have to survey three thousand telephone booths. I don't want to have to do that.

Uh, I think I could put together some kind of hunter seeker probe or probes, but I'd need some local space tech and helping hands on that.

Audio

[number1_kerbal]

...what kind of space tech?

Audio

[electricalcurrent]

Local?

Mostly rockets and materials. I'll provide the computer tech and programming.

Plus you're cool.

Audio

[number1_kerbal]

How big of a rocket? If you're gonna be probing the city, do we really need to put this thing into orbit?

Abusing that new shiny omegawatch.

[fluffytails]

Well, you could ask those that can be at several places at the same time. That'd cut down the time a lot.

Why, if you ask several, you might be done in a day, if you catch these that are not on the lazy side!

Abuse it!

[number1_kerbal]

Okay, that would be helpful, but I don't think you can actually use the phone booths.

And I wouldn't want to cut into your sunny naps time.

Re: Abuse it!

[fluffytails]

Aww, and here I thought I could sneak into it that way and do something naughty. A shame, a shame indeed...

But yes, the nap time would be the true problem. I'd hate to interrupt myself there!

[number1_kerbal]

You're a terrible tease. Almost as bad as the boss' secretary at work.

Well, I wouldn't want to interupt your beauty sleep.

Since you brought it up, it's your job.

[Audio]

[number1_kerbal]

You're right, it is my job. And part of my job is making sure this gets done soon. So you're drafted.

Re: [Audio]

[dropkick_princess]

Y-... wait, what?

[Audio]

[number1_kerbal]

I'm conscripting you to help me get this done. That's what a draft is.

Audio

[6billioncreditwoman]

I've been gathering as much data as I could. I'll send you a text file of what I've got and the phone booths that I know have been checked.

[She's also volunteering, of course, because conscription never ends well in Canada.]

Audio

[number1_kerbal]

Thanks! That'll be a big help, I'll send you mine as well.

Audio

[6billioncreditwoman]

I have to admit, I haven't seen this many pay phones anywhere since about junior high. Are they just around to camouflage Omegabase entrances?

Audio

[number1_kerbal]

...pretty much. Also, we have a large hipster population that adores the things and asks for more of them.

[birdarang]

There should be an easier way to track things down. We can team up and find them together if you want.

[number1_kerbal]

They're supposed to be hard to track down to keep people like Slade and Lord Titan out though. But getting a teamup is probably the best way to do this. So I've already got a few volunteers, and a few who've been volunteered.

[birdarang]

I can understand that.

Consider me a volunteer. I'll help in any way I can.

[starsburn]

Three thousand? There's really that many in the city?

audio

[number1_kerbal]

...we have a problem, I admit it.

audio

[starsburn]

Why do we even need that many? Some of them are for the Omegabase but that's still way too many!

Cellphones were invented for a reason!

[hinavelous]

...That certainly is a lot of phone booths.

Re: audio;

[number1_kerbal]

Tell me about it. We've got way, way, too many, even with decoys taken into account.

audio;

[hinavelous]

At least no one can ever say there isn't a means to contact someone else... What was the reason behind so many, though?
