The Big Red Dog.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82k3t_0xL-sCaptain Mikey Riley is standing in front of the beautiful construction, giving a thorough examination of the machine’s arms. For once in his life, Mikey’s raised his shades, and he spared a only passing glance at the two of you girls walking in between studying the machine and clipboard in his hand. In just a second, his head shot back around in a double take with a grin.
“Hey! Fiona! What brings you around here?” Mikey greeted as he sought a decent enough place in the machine to stow the clipboard. Once he proped it in a slit, he flicked down his aviators. “I wasn’t expecting guests. Gabriel’s off doing big boy judge things and Durant’s being his errand boy, so from what I heard and figured, sounded like a busy day for you boys and girls.”
With a memory of a hit you took earlier today, softened mostly by the gasmask of the turnout gear you wore nearly shattering, you rub the side of your face. “I had just finished a mission, but the moment I got back to HQ I was told to take a couple days off, me, Lalli, and Saemus. I don’t know where he went off to though.”
“Haven’t seen Kiki around. Came and went like a storm.”
<span class="mu-b">Okay, he is <span class="mu-i">definitely</span> telling you about the big funny red robot with the cute dog logo on the shoulder. That’s first and foremost. But what else did you want to talk about before a casual night out? Choose as many as you like.</span>
>Ask about the targeting system, and why it might not target something. Perhaps you have some Insight to share?>You don’t know much about “Gabby.” Or the Red Dogs themselves besides their roles. Wasn’t Durant the repair guy?>Did they hear about the big murderous swans that are going to be migrating down here in a week or two? Apparently that’s public knowledge.>Have they gotten any strange radio interference from a depressed old oak or something? Y’know, just asking. Haha.>Tell them about your new position, and all the wild schizobabble Blythe tells you. See if the loud-mouth Americans have their two cents (they will).>Write-ins
