 * Delroy Cooper: Man... I swear... [groan, door closes, sigh, footsteps, keys drop on ceramic surface, footsteps, weight dropped on couch] I'm going to have to quit this job, babe... That damn foreman... Y'know, Joe Walker. I told you about him. [sigh] It's bad enough I got to put up with that [expletive]'s sexism [expletive] all-day long... Now today he went off a rant for like two hours about [deep-voiced mockery impression:] these goddamn meta-freakshows. [sigh] And he was looking me right in the eye when he said it. Right in my [expletive] yellow eyes. [sigh, groan, shout] Can you believe the nerve of that ass- Hry, uh... Denise? You hearin' any of this? [whistle] Hey, baby... [groan, clatter, footsteps] I know you're here. I saw the car. Everythin' okay? Babe? If you're playin' or tryin' to scare me, I swe- [door opens]
 * ???: [chuckle, electric crackle] You'll do what? Kill her? [click tongue] Sorry. No can do. She's dead.
 * Delroy Cooper: [angry hiss, thrumming] You [expletive]! [rapid footsteps, angry growl]
 * Uplink: [energy discharge, body hitting wall, thud, silence: 2 seconds] Huh... That was anti-climatic. I expected him to put up more of a fight than that. His normie girl put up moreof a fight...
 * ???: Likewise. [sigh] Oh well... [loud footsteps] We better get going. Cops will be here soon enough with the ruckus we caused earlier putting her down.
 * Uplink: Oh, uh, sis? Twitching. Want me to-?
 * ???: [loud footsteps] Nah. Like you said, the cops are already coming. [electric crackle, electric discharge, electric crackle, electric discharge] There. That should do it.
 * Uplink: [footsteps] So what are you thinking for dinner? Chinese?
 * ???: You know I don't eat chinese unless the place can be vouched for... [loud footsteps]
 * Uplink: [sigh] Do reviews on the SnackFact app count as vouching? Because there's a place two blocks away with 4 stars and I could really go for some General Tso's, fried wontons, and an eggroll or two, you know what I mean?
 * ???: [loud footsteps, footsteps, door opens, loud footsteps, footsteps] Eh... That does sound good. We could try it, I guess. You grab it and I'll start the fire. We'll meet at the rendevouz point.
 * Uplink: Deal.
