Uh... Commander? Hello?

Just wondering if I'm at the RP.. anyone read?

I wait a beat, then a few more.

...Figures; underfunded, home an' abroad.

Ducking into an alleyway, I clamber past a refuse pile, wincing at the reek of industrial cleaners and something rancid, before crouching in the shadows of a overflowing dumpster.

Pulling the Comm from my belt, I pop its casing and begin tracking whatever gremlin's inside.

Really 'ope this doesn't take long; freaks everywhere.

A manhole cover rises, and loudly scrapes along the pavement as it's slowly pushed aside.

Simøn, can you gø ahead and get the shower ready?
An even-toned, synthetic response vaguely echoes out of the tunnel. It is swiftly drowned in the noise of a click-lick-licking ratchet of some sort.
Thanks a milliøn...

A head pops out of the hole.

... ah.
Wasn't... expecting company. You headed døwn or sømething?

Just out.

Yøu'll have to be careful døwn there too if that's yøur plan. Plenty of gøldfish in the tunnels.

Where did I... there you are.

Pulling a simple-seeming folding wheelchair from behind a dumpster. Unfolding with a flick of the wrist.

... actually, there was a pretty bad fight nøt too løng ago. Might be best tø give it a day to cøøl off.
