Welcome Back, Loyal Vidshow-watching Citizens! And now back to our show.
Episode 3: Larry-R’s Lament
Turn 111: Now That You Are All Together
Roy-R says, “Uh, right! Thorry Friend Computer!” He scampers into the room following the others.
Meanwhile, Dean-O is saying to Eula-R, “Sorry about this, citizen. I really don’t know what’s got into him.”
Eula-R continues whacking Quentin-R with her ruler as he does not seem to be moving from his position crouched down in front of her knitting basket. Between trying to ward off her blows, he continues to examine the wool inside, “OW I see you’re still using OUCH type 56-b woolLyke. So hey! so last year. Did you not know that the catbot Wool of preference is this years softer 56-C batch?”
He finally decides to get to his feet, and Eula-R stops hitting him, but she still looks angry. Quentin-R continues, “Now, I KNOW the 56-C is a touch more expensive… normally, but … well, I may be able to get you a small amount for LESS than you’d be paying for the 56-b….” [clatterclatterclatter]
Eula-R glares at Quentin-R, straightens her jumpsuit briskly, and taps her ruler a couple of times against her leg before answering with a waggle of the ruler in Quentin-R’s direction, “I don’t care what price you can get it for, I wouldn’t buy a paperclip from a clone as rude as you. You should try to be more like this nice ORANGE here.” She indicates Dean-O with the ruler, “We’ve been having such a nice chat before you barged in.”
Isaac-O arrives at the cubicle, stomps his feet together and in an unnecissarily loud voice announces, “Reporting to Cubicle 2961-B as instructed at time stamp 15:34 by Friend Computer! Perrrip!”
Phil-R arrives at roughly the same time and ‘Mister Sock’ says, “Equipment Guy Phil-R is prepared to serve you, dear magnificent Friend Computer!”
Roy-R scampers up, but doesn’t say anything.
Friend Computer’s Eye appears on the room’s wall-mounted vidscreen.
“Thank you, Troubleshooters. Now that you are all together, I would like to address a small problem which I have noticed as I watch your progress. I would like to remind you all that this mission has a very high priority, and should not be delayed for any reason. You are to deal with any problems in the most efficient method possible. If there are any problems that arise that you cannot handle, be sure to call upon me or your briefing officer directly. If a problem arises that can wait until briefing, be sure to have your Loyalty Officer make a note of it and bring it up during briefing. No one is to leave the rest of the team for any reason, even to visit a Confession Booth, for the duration of this mission. If you need to confess treason, you have but to contact me, and I will deal with it quickly and let you get on with your mission with a minimum of delay. If I see that I am needed to keep things moving, I will step in to do so. Do any of you have any questions?”
We shall return to the PBEM Network’s presentation of The Bot Murders after these messages…
