TRANSCRIPT:PLATFORM ■ 00/00/00 ■

The fan on the platform spins. A distant rumble starts to build. As Conrad steps onto the station, her phone rings.

[1] 00/00/00 ▶ ANYA [BARAHA-LOGISTCS] :
Hey, just a headsup. Try to be careful, okay? You know how Michel gets.

See if you can get him to show next week. Ideally, grab the plate back from him. We need it to finish inventory.

[2] 00/00/00 ▶ CONRAD [CLEANER-CONTRACTOR] :
Yeah, I’ll handle it. What’s actually on those tapes anyway?

[3] 00/00/00 ▶ ANYA [BARAHA-LOGISTCS] :
Plates. I can’t really say...

She pauses, like she’s second-guessing herself.

[4] 00/00/00 ▶ ANYA [BARAHA-LOGISTCS] :
...But... I suppose...

She sighs through her nose

[5] 00/00/00 ▶ ANYA [BARAHA-LOGISTCS] :
It’s experimental, sort of. It IS kind of like a physical tape cassette.
You record movements on it plate, and you or someone else can 'play' them back.

[6] 00/00/00 ▶ CONRAD [CLEANER-CONTRACTOR] :
That sounds... interesting. It's like a ghost.

[7] 00/00/00 ▶ ANYA [BARAHA-LOGISTCS] :
It’s rather effective. And Dad won’t let it go. Says the combat applications are endless... Everything's like that with him..

Conrad looks around, seeing the faint light of the train in the distance.

[8] 00/00/00 ▶ CONRAD [CLEANER-CONTRACTOR] :
So, he's got one of those? He's plenty capable on his own. I don't see the need.

[7] 00/00/00 ▶ ANYA [BARAHA-LOGISTCS] :
He walked off with one of them after your last job. I have a few ideas why, especially with how scattered he's been. I think You'll see for yourself.

[8] 00/00/00 ▶ CONRAD [CLEANER-CONTRACTOR] :
Great.

The rumble grows louder. A train rolls into the station, screeching slightly as it slows. Conrad steps back from the edge.

[9] 00/00/00 ▶ ANYA [BARAHA-LOGISTCS] :
Just get it back if you can. And if he gives you trouble, walk away. It’s not worth getting shot over.

[10] 00/00/00 ▶ CONRAD [CLEANER-CONTRACTOR] :
You always say stuff like that.

[11] 00/00/00 ▶ ANYA [BARAHA-LOGISTCS] :
And you still come back don'tcha?

A short silence, broken only by the train’s hiss as its doors slide open.

[12] 00/00/00 ▶ ANYA [BARAHA-LOGISTCS] :
...Call me when it’s done?
[13] 00/00/00 ▶ CONRAD [CLEANER-CONTRACTOR] :
Yeah. Talk soon.
