After the radio had been completely silent the night before, it might have come as a surprise when it came on fairly early this time around. The only thing that could be heard at first was someone gasping for air.

A few seconds passed with that pattern continuing, and then someone started to speak between breaths. Finally. Do you know what this is ( Read more... )

"Hey, I told you not to touch that stuff!"

The radio came on without any warning, with no introductory music; just a burst of static.

It was Marc's voice that spoke, annoyed and bordering on childish. He was bickering. Bickering with--

"What? This stuff?" said a shocking, disturbing, familiar, and all-around dry-witted voice. The radio squealed ( Read more... )

The radios come on not too long after the night has started, interrupting patients who might have their own new problems to deal with. Not that the man making the broadcast knew what exactly was going on, but he certainly had a few guesses. The announcement didn't begin with his voice, but instead a song; the chorus continued to play over and over ( Read more... )

It didn't take long that evening for the radio to come on, which was likely expected by any patients who had been following the more consistent announcements over the past few nights. There was a song playing quietly in the background, but it faded away into something barely audible as soon as the man's voice cut in.So, I realize I kinda left you ( Read more... )

Seeing how the Head Doctor was making his annoucements into a show tonight, it was only expected for the radio to respond. And so the devices all turned on with the buzzing of static, interrupting fights with monsters and supply runs alike.He thinks he's pretty clever, doesn't he? Jill's tougher than he is, anyway. He always thought he had her ( Read more... )

It seemed that this time around, the radio was not going to remain silent no matter what measures were taken. The static from the device being tuned occurred simultaneously amongst every radio in the institute, buzzing in patients' hands and interrupting fights and expeditions.

Hey all, Marc here!

It was the same voice from the night before, and ( Read more... )

The static of the radios suddenly coming to life would be familiar to some, but new to just as many. It had been some time since a voice had come through the devices, and even longer since the voice had been male. Still, the one who spoke would be familiar to those select few who had actually encountered the new member of the rebel group face-to- ( Read more... )

For those few patients who were waiting on a follow-up radio announcement, it wasn't too long before their handhelds started up again. The broadcast came shortly after Landel's talk over the intercom, and Jill started with a half-amused huff.He's just trying to distract you. I hope you guys are smart enough not to fall for stuff like that. That's ( Read more... )

Instead of slowly coming on with a low static, this night the radio almost seemed to snap on, with a loud screech that was certain to get the attention of anyone who was carrying one of the devices with them.

Neutralize? No, no, he wasn't neutralized.

The voice was Jill's, of course, but she seemed far more upset than she usually allowed herself ( Read more... )

It seemed that Jill hadn't been lying, as the radios did end up coming to life some time after that first broadcast. 'A few minutes' was vague, but she didn't keep the patients waiting for too long.I didn't want to dump too much on you guys all at once, but I hope you're all ready now! My clues aren't too difficult, so the main thing you need to ( Read more... )
