[The voice from the comm is probably familiar to at least some of the listeners, and while the message he conveys is, well, worrisome, his tone suggests he's completely in control.]

Good evening. I know I may be overstepping my bounds, but I was wondering if anyone else might have heard a disturbing rumor flying about the quarantine regarding some...beetles of unusual size that are, if the terrified gossipers are to be believed, heading straight for us?

I'll save my opinions on the continued existence of over-sized insects for the time-being and simply suggest we do something about it before we're all trampled into beetle dust. Any takers?

[ Well, there go his plans for day. The idea of giant beetles stampeding towards the city is so fucking preposterous it's got to be true. Cisco can just feel it. ]

?
What does the day of the week have to do with anything?
Nevermind. That is a question for another time.

It was my next order of business.
I trust you'll be safe?

[franciscoramon]

just a saying.
means basically: this is an absurd crisis but we have those all the time so it's ordinary by this point.

will do.
i want no part of that horrible giant beetle action
just gonna go make sure everybody's got all the big guns they need.
you stay safe too.

What an odd derivation...
Regardless, guns may not be necessary, but are always welcome, at least in my limited experience with them. That is to say, I've only read about them.

If you stay away from the wall, you should be safe, at least if I have a say in the matter. I may not jump to combat at the drop of a hat, but those with the power to protect have a responsibility to do so, wouldn't you agree?

[franciscoramon]

abso-fucking-lutely, dude
okay i'm off to help some folks fight some giant bugs
thanks for the heads up
see you out there maybe

[tevinteraltus]

Indeed.
Just try to avoid the fireballs.
I'll do my best to aim.
