um yup, Jenny's/Jamie's/Janey's - one of those. It's a long "eee", not an "i", which makes me move towards "(2syllable name)'s" rather than "(1syllable name) is". I don't hear "Jen is", I definitely don't hear "Jen's"... I hear 2 syllables, long "A" and long "E".
And that goes the same with "sterma". M/N, don't know, but it's definitely "ER" not "REE". And remember it's a British accent, so it's a soft "r" - there's no hard "R" sound when they say "ER".
But once again, at this point it's trivial. If it's important, we'll find out soon enough.

I'm British, and it depends what accent you have. Some have the hard "R" sound, some don't.

I can see it visualized in Audacity as one syllable, but this just seems like something that we'd laugh about tomorrow.
In the meantime, let's just call her Steve.
And Streama/Sterma can be Happy-Go-Lucky Evil Cover-up Corporation. Putting a smile on every conspiracy!

My vote's with Steve... Oh wait that's not really an option so I here the one syllable Jen's which makes the sentence "Jen's looking at" which as we all know in the queens english would be "Jen is looking at"
Steve is so much funnier tho'

Just a thought since they are dealing with possible flood sites, do you suppose the next system they are talking about is the next whether system?
If I was in a supersaturated area I would certainly want to know when more moisture is on the way.

Maybe someone tried to hack their site during a crisis, when they would be their weakest. Therefor, they'd beef up their security before the next weather system comes.
Or it could be a virus system. Or they could be hiding something from within their own corporation. As if the other members of the FCC or whatever aren't privy to all of the cover-ups.

Of course, we could just be waiting for the fourth part to this conversation... to fill in the blanks we've got in the second half. I mean, we got
Conversation part 1- Participants 1 and 2
Conversation part 2- Participants 1 and 2
Conversation part 1- Participants 3 and 4
who's to say that next we don't get
Conversation part 2- Participants 3 and 4?

Kinda hope we do, that will give us most of the convo. Course what would be funnier is if we get the part before part 1. And not get part 2 for 3&4 till later. I hope thats not the case, just think it would be funnier

[Humour] I reckon they are saying Bill and Benny. We are being taken over by a secret organisation run by the flowerpot men.
On a more serious note the big question should be how much, if any, conversation is missing from the middle?

I think this is going to turn into a ploy to to steer fans to a new Microsoft video game about plumbing, spackling, and dizzying spirals . . .

Hey, I'm not sure if this has been said, at least I couldn't find it with the Search function, but someone who posted a comment to one of the craigslist ads mentioned this:
402-K-07-002
is an actual EPA booklet which can be read online here:

Yeah, it's just a bunch of drawings showing how to properly clean a mold infested house after a flood. Eerily similar to what 343 Guilty Spark says about the Flood making the air contaminated in Halo 1.
