[Call/message filtered from Margot (Crowe feels she's upset enough already) to all non-drones. No one Crowe knows had been droned until now and he's having a hard time dealing with it.]


Does... does the town often drone people for no reason? This is... this is... I don't even know. How can this happen? Nadia was one of the nicest people in town, she... she never bothered anyone, never hurt anyone..._{it's not fair... what if she doesn't...}

I-I mean is that it then? Even if we DO get along with this town and its rules, we might just droned anyway?! For no reason whatsoever? Am I just supposed to sit around and wait for them to brainwash the rest of us permanently too? I don't get it! What do they want from us?! What are we supposed to do?


[There's a pause as he sighs and rubs his forehead.]


...I-I'm sorry it's just... _{why couldn't they have done it to someone else...}


[The phone is hung up.]

That's what I'm afraid of. I feel like I'm just sitting here until the same thing happens to me and everyone else I know.

Thats why you have to keep fighting. Because if they fall who else is going to get them out of here?

I'm going to keep at it, and if I fall I hope others continue and don't just leave me to this miserable trap. Though on that note...

[He fishes out a closed envelope with a letter inside. On the front says "BLU". Tossing it onto the table.]

Do me a huge favor, if I fall call for members of the Builders League United on the phone and tell them you have a letter from Sniper for them. I don't plan to let this town beat me, ever.

You'll survive this, because we will all keep fighting. If you get droned we'll continue on until we get you home safe.

Crowe blinks in surprise at the envelope. He gives it an uncertain look for a moment, then picks it up and puts it in his coat pocket.]


Alright sir. I will.


...I guess. I'd been so caught up in everything here that I lost sight of fighting the town. I guess this was my wake-up call.

Thanks.

Sorry that it happened so fast kid.

[That was about as much bonding as Sniper was comfortable with. He would slowly push himself up to stand.]

Time for me to prepare. Same as always, if you see Grady stay far away from that place.

Also, look out for Margot. She's a willful kid but she'll suffer the most for it.

I plan on it, sir.
