Phone, filtered like a filtered thing

[He picks up the phone.]

Crane Residence.

[His tone doesn't sound automated like a smile is plastered on. It sounds much more human and real.]

Red Sniper. It is a pleasure hearing from you again. I never liked the name that was given to you by this town. It does not suit you. Neither does it fit Blu Sniper either though I suppose there is a reason for the names.

Yes, I do remember you from the party. How have you been fairing?

[passes_out]

Hm.

[He chews on this bit of information for a moment.]

Most troubling. My droning was one such snag, I suppose. According to the few that speak to me on a regular basis, the plans I once had were laid to waste.

Damn.

[A click is heard on Ichabod's side.]

I have secured the line in hopes that we can speak more freely. This is certainly troubling news. What were you able to see?

[passes_out]

A front?

[Now this definitely has him thinking.]

The empty buildings, the lack of human use does pose an alarm. Do you think they have moved without warning?

[passes_out]

It is a possibility that we were given a false assumption when the Mayor and Grady are located elsewhere. A trap could have been the main objective to draw us all into the open and thus the result of the broadcast.

[passes_out]

A good question that have very little to answer with. Hm...perhaps it was a decoy to lure us out?

[passes_out]

Then we shall have to take them down.

[If his face would be seen, he is smirking and rather wickedly.]

[passes_out]

Ah, sounds like a very lucrative field of work. I shall remember to call upon you when an excavation is in order.

[And he's thinking of razing the town just to find its secrets in the foundation.]
