I would seriously suggest you dress neatly like a technician might and bring a lot of "Out of Order" signs. Hang them on the phones about five minutes before axon time.

I'm pretty sure that none of the recipe3 axons have been called with a live call. There's also a very solid in-game reason for this, in that Melissa wasn't broadcasting them to us, she was keeping them to herself, to prevent Durga from hearing them. Quite why we had to authenticate on them though is probably the biggest plothole to date, but I'll let it slide, given that the storyline has been pretty damn good so far.

- Malrog is slightly happier, he has a cool avater, and is also, apparently, a veteran (when did that happen!)

I feel the pain! We had 7 people and there was no way we could keep people away from the phones except to look really mean and lie to people that your expecting a call. (One guy actually asked me how I could be expecting a call on 2 phones).

As Bcriswell says, lets try one more day and leave it at that. But I cant make it tomorrow due to finishing working at 6. I'll keep an eye on the RSS, if you guys get low on numbers, I may duck out of work early.

The important thing I wanted to say was the ringing. As the phones usually post a message saying "lift reciever." I think we may be spending too much effort keeping people off the phones that we dont keep an eye the screens.

Oh by the way theres a private call place about 5 meters away from the payphones but there super certain that they dont accept incoming calls. Can someone check with them again...

Can I also suggest someone actually calls the phone and asks the person if it rings or how they knew to pick up the phone. The station is so busy and noisy I dont think if it rings we would hear it unless you have enough people.

By the way dont consider taping up phones because usually there is police down there and theres two CCTV cameras down there pointing directly in that area. As someone else said, they could have picked somewhere a lot more reasonable.

Very persuasive evidence, ariock. I think we need another chart -- negative product impressions in critical European market caused by axon difficulties. Wink

I think hmrpita's idea is the best but would take it a step further.

Since it appears that Melissa now has access to Dana's email I would send
the information there. Add a little role-playing though.

Example:

Operator, repeated attempts to reunite with crew have failed.
Be advised, current rendevous point located in hostile territory.
10:07 PDT (51.509997 -000.134800)
Threat level: High. Likely Success: 0%.
Personnel have established perimeter at the following location:
Insert info here
Contact can be made at established time of 10:07 PDT.
Please be advised, without adjustments to location, personnel will
not reunite with crew.
