10-32 in Bitches

October 15, 2023

Datr - [Begin Frequency]

Datr - ["120?"]

Luna - 120? Hello?

Datr - ["120. 10-101?"]

Luna - Uh.. if this is police code, then erm, 10-106? But at the same time, I don't think I'm unit 120?

Datr - [Dispatch is quiet a moment before responding, "What unit are you?" ]

Luna - Did you need something?

Datr - [120 comes in loud and clear, "120, 10-2." Dispatch responds, "Copy 120. 69, 10-20?"]

Luna - 69, 10-32. In bitches

Datr - [Dispatch, "...10-30." 120 laughs loudly into the radio. Dispatch sounds annoyed, "120. 10-30." 120 responds, "Copy." ]

Luna - Copy

Datr - [Dispatch, "120. A 10-37 on 1513 Breakers Road. caller states abandoned for 2 weeks, open trunk. 120?" 120 responds, "120, okay." ]

Luna - 69, Enroute.

Datr - [ Dispatch, "120. 10-101?"]

Luna - What's happening out there? Over

Datr - [120, "120. 10-4. 10-23, we have a 1973 Ford Mustang, black, forcefully opened trunk, all doors unlocked, no keys, no plates, appears to have been hotwired." ]

Datr - [ In a panicked tone with shuffling 120 suddenly responds again, "Requesting a 10-18-"]

Datr - [Dispatch, "Copy 120, 134 10-18 last seen on 1513 Breakers Road. 134?" 134 responds, "134 on my way."]

Luna - Jeez y'all stay safe

Datr - [134 responds, "10-23, 120 and vehicle missing." Dispatch, "Copy 134. 120 do you copy?...120?" ]

Luna - Dispatch, do you have a name for 120? We might be able to get in contact with him. It's slightly complicated to explain, but I am actually not unit 69. Just some loon you connected to via radio.

Datr - [ Dispatch says sternly after a moment to think, "69. 10-3." 134 responds, "69. 120 is William Bailey." ]

Luna - Thank you, 134. By the way, can I have your name? Just so I can have someone to report back to.

Datr - [ Dispatch sounds more annoyed, "69. 10-3 NOW." 134 quickly responds, "69. 134 is Penelope Webb." ]

Luna - Thank you 134. Dispatch 10-4 -end frequency

Datr - [Error. This frequency is no longer available. ]

Luna - ...SON OF A FUCKING BITCH Gods damn it. -Begin Frequency Penelope Webb

Datr - [Begin Frequency]

Datr - [Penelope is making her way through some bushes with a hand resting on her radio. The area slopes down from the road and into the woods. She speaks clearly into the radio that brings close to her face, "134. Searching the area." ]

Luna - Hello, it's 69. We attempted to make contact with 120. Unfortunately, the frequency for William Bailey is no longer available.

Datr - [Penelope seems confused a moment before responding, "Uhm...ok?" Penelope continues into the trees while searching the area. ]

Luna - Something like this has happened before. Last night to be exact. We contacted Morris Hill just as he was being chased by a psycho with a gold sword. After it all happened, even he was no longer available. I... don't want to jump to conclusions, but I think it's possible something terrible has happened to William.

Datr - [ Penelope rolls her eyes, "He was sent to investigate a suspicious vehicle parked out here. He probably hit the brake by mistake and went rolling into the woods." ]

Luna - The Morris Hill event also happened in Wicket Woods. Look, I hope you're right about this and DATRS is just glitching out. I genuinely hope so.

Datr - [ Penelope continues further into the trees, "I don't know what you're on about but the last time I heard Morris Hill he was taken in for questioning and witness protection." She hears some shuffling in the trees as he quickly turns to face the sound. She quietly puts a hand to her gun. ]

Luna - be careful Penelope.

Datr - [ Penelope slowly approaches. As she gets closer she can see something moving behind a fallen log. Suddenly being overwhelmed with a sickening feeling of bad luck, she backs up from the fallen log and draws her gun. ]

Luna - Penelope, that's probably not going to work. Morris emptied a whole bunch of bullets into the enemy yesterday and it was fully unaffected.

Datr - [ Penelope backs up further. The creature behind the log lunges at her as she fires a shot at it and falls over onto the ground. Something wraps around her ankles as she tries to push them off. Sharp teeth plunge into her neck. ]

Datr - [Error. This frequency is no longer available. ]

Luna - I swear to the Gods above. ugh

Luna - -help This frequency is no longer available. I assume it means they're dead but it's better to be sure than to make poor assumptions.

Datr - [This means the Frequency is no longer available. ]

Luna - As I thought.
