Batted 3/5 today. alaska
The 0755 call came in on the center phone at MoGA Food Court. Answer to passcode challenge was "Green(e)".
Here's a rough transcript of *alaska*:
Story arc: Jersey Morelli/Durga
Wind-up: None
Wind-down: None
Characters: Jersey, Durga, IRS Auditor "George Shabura (?)"
Background Noise: None discernable
GS: Your records seem haphazard... As I must say (unintelligible)....
J: Huh?
(IRS Auditor keeps talking in background)
D: Let's see... George Shabura, IRS Auditor, 9th year. In his records, he is described as ' Punctual, Precise, Efficient, Arrogant, and Not Polite'. He was going to be promoted next month....
J: Huh?!
GS: Excuse me, Mr. Morelli?
J: Nothing.
D: Now, he's taking a pay cut... And a job rotation.
J: (grunts)
D: ... to Alaska.
(end of file)
*big_gloves*
The 0809 call did not ring at the established axon location.
The 0811 call came in, this time on the right-hand phone in established bank of phones.
The 0821 call did not ring at the established axon location.
The 0823 call came in, this time on the left-hand phone in established bank of phones.
Here's a rough transcript of *big_gloves*:
Story arc: Jersey Morelli/Durga
Wind-up: None
Wind-down: Short
Characters: Jersey, IRS Auditor "George Shabura (?)", Policeman, female EPA Officer, female Animal Control Officer.
Background Noise: None discernable; sound effects only.
Cop: Stand with your hands out away from your sides!
J: I'm being arrested for counterfeiting?!
Cop: Counterfeiting? Not counterfeiting! Assault! We've got a warrant out, Armed and Dangerous!
J: It was supposed to be a simple audit...
GS: You're being arrested for assault? Fine, but I get him for counterfeiting...
EPA: Environmental Protection Agency, everyone vacate the premises immediately!
Cop: Freeze! Down on the ground!
IRS: Enough of that already...
EPA: What?! I got a call that there was a hazardous chemical spill here...
J: EPA?!
Cop: Nobody's going anywhere until I secure the suspect!
IRS: What the - why the big gloves?
ACO: Animal Control. Which one of you lowlifes is responsible for the illegal-trading-of-wild-honey-badgers-scheme gone terribly, terribly wrong?
J: I don't even own a dog...
(alarm sounds loudly in background)
(sound of overhead fire sprinklers going off, sound of persons in room panicking)
J: Fire Sprinklers?!
(little more panic/alarm/sprinkler sounds, then short wind-down)
For those who are interested, I have come up with a sheet that makes writing down info on Axon calls easier (for me, at least). PM me if you would like details, leave a contact e-mail, and I will be happy to send one your way.

If the axon in Buena Park (First used for "Troy") has taught us anything, it's that an axon with multiple times in the same "group" can and will jump around to neighboring phones in the area. So you might want to look around a bit away from your established bank of phones.

according to
angelo
Twenty_percent is like this:
Quote:
It seems like it will most likely fit in after the in_each_pit file. It's kamal talking with the casino owner about some guys that seem to be counting cards. The casino owner then tells Kamal that if he can figure out how they're doing it he'll give him twenty percent of the money that the guys have more or less stolen from him. The owner never says an amount, so he must of written it down or something because Kamal is rather impressed at the amount he would make

These are full of holes, but the best I could make out from the recordings.
edit: well, the files are up so just ignore this. P)
Hard_Bargain
Kamal talking with someone I assume is Aiden, but there may be a third person. It is hard to identify the other voice(s)
Mr. [y] just wants to find out [x]so he can…
Kamal: What, write his memoirs?
I didn't ask you to do anything Illegal
Kamal: Didn't you hear what he just said? He will kill [x].
[x] and even that's worse case scenario
Worst case, worst case (laughter)
Just hear me out [x] Mr. [y] what your doing if [x] tell [x] doing OK? But don't detach [x] just explanations.
Kamal: And if I do this I want [x] no more happy talk, K? I want my family on their way here and I want it now!
[x]
Kamal: Cut the crap Aiden!
So_Dense
(OK, got this fixed up today)
Kamal: those are the ones with buckles,right?
Sofia: There was no business emergency. God; you are so dense sometimes.
Kamal: I don't understand.
Sofia: He had me drive you home because he knows you like that. Aden likes to keep his people happy.
Kamal: Do those shoes make you happy? Jewlery?
Sophia: Honestly, AIDEN me makes me happy. But as for the rest of it I've been poor before, you know. There's no glamor in waiting tables.
Kamal: OK (angry)
Sophia: What? All things being equal life is better when you are not broke.
Kamal: I'm just figuring that out

I posted a transcript of "ballet" here . It appears to come just after big_dog. I think ballet comes just before ponytail based on the transcript and clip on this forum. Jan taunts Gene "go for the six under your jacket" in ballet, and at the start of ponytail he appears to comply, much to his chagrin!

Where's the Discussion? I'm not having any luck finding a discussion thread on the content of the current Comatas wavs., only the axon coordination.
This thread seems to have died...
Thanks.

? This is the thread to discuss the result of the comatas axon hunt. The axons themselves are in the comatas.html axon thread. So you can discuss the content here (preferred), or you can start a SPEC thread over in the General forum and see how long it lasts before a mod moves it back here....

So am I the only one concerned about this week's audio drama? Past weeks were full of information, but this week's seem kind of one note, which may be the reason that there hasn't been much discussion regarding them.
With every new file that became unlocked we found out that Jan is getting tough and scary, tougher and scarier, tougher and scarier, and talks to machines. I'm wondering if we really needed 6 separate files to realize that Jan's getting a little hard core, even with the argument that the duration of the incident inflates its importance.
Same with the Durga thread, where we don't really get any new information in subesquent files, except perhaps a view of how much she can do to her 'enemies'. After all this, though, there is the mention of Team Jersey, and the insinuation that regardless of the team name, it's obvious who's calling the shots. I might have liked to see more of that interaction, rather than more torture of poor Mr. Shapura.
Kamal's story seemed better to me because we got glimpses of motivation and conflict. Sofia's frustration with Kamal's ignorance is a nice turning point.. Maybe I prefer the drama of human conflict to watching people flex their unbeatable powers.

Hey it is a FPS game after all.
but yes this set of axons gets us no closer to the events that describe how melissa and Sp and PF all get to our time and place.
[wild spec] What if thin kinkle gets so pissed about jan he hires from outside NJ to take care of her. then Aiden seeing his chance to make some money, talks Kamal into heading to NJ to ghost Jan. once there Kamal can't ghost her and finds someone else is Ghosting her and traces it to Jersey and Durga. he then ghosts those two and durga finds out and we may get to see if kamal recognizes durga as his sister. Also if kamal gets a chance to see Jan in his investigation it might confirm that she is or isn't his sister.[spec]
yeah I know I just would like to get this story moving in some connected fashion.
