TRANSCRIPTION OF DECRYPTED PHONE CALL
UNKNOWN: Well, I did it! I signed up for the mad science convention that they’re holding in Rosemont in October.
DR. ONSLOW: Oh, good for you. You’ll have a blast!
U: Yeah, I’ve been dabbling for a long time, but I’ve got some money saved away now, and Abigail is going off to college in the fall, so I figure this is the perfect time for it. You know? Dive in with both feet.
D: Great. You doing all three days?
U: Yep.
D: I’m taking the kids on that Sunday. I can give you a ride.
U: I’m just staying at the hotel.
D: Oh, duh. You signed up for the digital pass, right?
U: No, I had them send me everything through the mail. I wanted the physical badge. Oh shit, does the government track these things?
D: Oh, uh, yeah, probably. I mean, I’m just trying to warn you about the junkmail. The MSA sells your info to every catalogue company out there.
U: That doesn’t sound so bad.
D: Just prepare to be fielding a lot of questions from your neighbors about why you are getting four wishbooks a year about blue sky lasers.
U: Blue sky what?
D: Ya know? The beams you shoot into the air to unleash your doomsday scenario? They are so cheap right now.
U: Oh, yeah. No, I’d just heard blue sky. Aw, shit, this call is being tapped. Talk to ya later.
