There's a telephone call to the S.T.A.R.S central dispatch & information office.

The question is, is anybody there to pick it up?

Well, there's one person, at least. Yoko's been kicking around the base fixing up a few programming bugs in the base's computers. (and trying to make coffee, but, uh, it wound up smelling really burnt.) When the phone rings, she waddles her way over and picks it up.

"Moshi-moshi! Er, uh, hello. STARS headquarters, Yoko Suzuki speaking. How may I help you today?" Ignore the Japanese slip. She just got off the phone with her parents a few hours ago.

There's a loud crackle of static and what sounds like a gasp.

Then, an equally loud clatter - probably the phone being dropped, and a gunshot report.

Becky's voice from somewhere in the distance, far enough away so Yoko might have to strain to hear but definitely her,

"He didn't do anything to you."

What in the world- agh, gunshot! Yoko winces and strains to hear what's going on on the other end.

"Becky?! Becky! What's going on? Where are you? Who didn't do anything? Becky, please! Answer me! Hello!"

Is Yoko stressed out? Hell yes.

There's a conversation going on, and it's between her and a man. It's kind of hard to hear what they're saying, as the static is nicely tuning out the important bits, but it ends in a very loud banging noise, a beat, a klang and then a rumbling that can't be anything but footsteps running away from the dropped handset. Then...

About a two hours later...

Ring, ring!

Yoko's gotten in contact with the right people and she's hung onto that recording for dear life. She's gonna burn it later, shhh. It's humiliating.

Which is why when the phone rings, she picks it up hesitantly. "H-hello?"

"Yoko?" It's Becky! Her voice is hoarse, but it's Becky.

"It's me. What's happening at base?"

"Becky!" There is verbal flailing now, Becky. "Ohgodareoyuokayhwtahappenedi'msosorryiletyoudownand..." She takes a moment to gasp for breath.

"I've let people know. I got a recording of the phone conversation. Did he hurt you?!"
