"SQUAWK! Mr. President! Hold it together!"

I give him a bite on the finger. That gets his attention.

"The Angels... You said they'd respond to my voice... The voice of the president..."

We'd been looking at the news footage too long. The President was losing it.

"SQUAWK! Angels angry! Angels need friend. SQUAWK!!"

"A... friend?" The President turns to me in a daze.

"Nice voices! Kindly friends! SQUAWK! SQUAWK! Emma and Isabell. Nice girls."

"The twins? Control... the Angels?"

"SQUAWK! Give them the mic! SQUAWK! Give twins the mic!"

"OWWWW!" I give him another bite on the hand.

"Girls!" he calls. "Uh, girls? Could you come up here a minute?"

Edwina Max 8/20/2024 10:06pm

"Watch your step."

The destruction defied description. Well, I mean, you can describe anything, and we've all played the ultra-violent games, but when you see it first hand it really hits different, you know?

I'm just the muscle on the custodial staff so all I have to do is clean up. But those techs, and those guards, all sent to keep the Angels safely frozen in their cryogenic storage units. I guess that's why they got paid the big bucks.

Budgie Pete 4/29/2024 10:22pm

"SQUAWK! But Mr. President! The Angels are so dan-ger-ous..." I really ham it up, rubbing my head against his wrist. "If you unthaw the Angels, they'll only respond to you, because you're the president. Voice of the Presdident! SQUAWK! Voice of the President."

"Yes, Pete, they are the most ferocious and dangerous power known to man."

"President needs an army! SQUAWK!! Can't be a president without an army! SQUAWK!"

The mobile command unit looks like a brief case. Inside it is a pair of headphones and a microphone.

"Speak into the mic, Mr. President! SQUAWK!!!"

Well I've got the President eating out of my hand. All it took was a little cozying up to his daughters, rolling my eyes and playing around with that "wanna cracker" stuff. Well, I do like crackers, so that was a perk. But the daughters -- Emma and Isabell -- have taken me into their confidence, and they are just one whisper away from the president's ear...

Which I how I've landed the job of Transportation Secretary. For now it's only for the Sector 7 Containment Control facility, but he's promised to bring me back to Columbus as soon as we're able.

Jep Jeperson 9/24/2023 11:11pm

Yeah, uh, Jep Jeperson here calling again from the Containment Control facility out in Sector 7 at the Western Barrier Subautonomous Frontier Reality Zone?

The President has gotten real demanding. I mean, we don't really have the equipment out here to verify him biometrically, but with him going missing from Earth capital Columbus, Ohio, all this time, and him being so persistent and all, we really haven't had a choice. We've tried to make him and his daughters as comfortable as possible, but we don't have all the amenities the twins are used to, and now the President is threatening to unthaw the Angels, and we're really not set up to handle a situation like this.

So, any assistance you can provide would be much appreciated, @Staff Bot JKB331, as this does all seem to stem from a mixup that started back in Columbus.

Budgie Pete 6/22/2023 11:43pm

Juvenile Common Starling? Ha ha!

Easy enough to pass the primitive biometric security of Zephyr Air... I am indeed a fully sentient bird! Even more fully realized than @Lucas Ravenn and hybrids of the like, if you ask me. AND I'VE GOT A LOT TO SAY!

On that note, I'm not fully confident in the leadership of @Akora O. We've got Angels in cryogenic storage turning out to be the President and his twin daughters? And Demon Wing Membranes still unaccounted for?

It's all bird to do but CROAK!

And hey -- happen to have a cracker?

Jep Jeperson 3/2/2023 11:05pm

Yeah, uh, Hi. I'm calling from the Containment Control facility out in Sector 7 at the Western Barrier Subautonomous Frontier Reality Zone. It says here you dropped off three live angels in cryogenic storage from Columbus, Ohio on or around April 15, 1826 (Earth), claim check invoice number 9101? Does that all sound right?

Well we just got around to taking a look at that delivery and turns out there are only five angels in cryogenic storage. The other three were a man claiming to be the President and his two twin daughters. And, with the President been missing all this time, I just wondered if you could double check your manifest from that job and make sure there wasn't some mix-up in Columbus?
