Does anyone know what the following means?

This Danforth 5, we are Oscar Mike.

This is Danforth 6, we are Oscar Mike.

This is Danforth 7, we are Oscar Mike.

And so on.

All angels one, maintain to 206.

Time to put Grandmother to bed.

I believe I accidentally listened in on a Red Talon radio frequency. There was more talk of this “Grandmother” that I failed to write down, before I realized who I was listening to.

The only piece that somewhat makes sense to me is “to 206.” That’s a Seattle area code, so maybe they are heading to Seattle? Unclear as to who this “Grandmother” is, though. They were not talking about “Grandmother” with any fondness.

Regardless, thank you to Prescott for the radio lesson.

Nothing about a “Grandmother” at all? So whatever or whoever Grandmother is, less likely to be a rival group.

Nothing I've heard, and people are chatty.

Who knows more about Red Talon's operations - is it fairly normal for them to mobilize so many like this?

[lineman]

They were sounding off Danforth units for a while. I only transcribed an excerpt because it was repetitive. But it seems like they are mobilizing all their forces in Danforth, not just many of them.

[malting]

And stopped by to get drunk and start fights before going. Maybe not a coincidence or a single asshole being an asshole.

[lineman]

Fights? […] Did something happen at Whitney? My sister was there last night.

[malting]

A fight, a Red Talon member decided to start something. Nothing your sister was involved in, she's ok.

[lineman]

Are you okay?

[malting]

Oh it wasn't with me, it was with Arlo. I don't think I could take a punch that well.

[lineman]

Punching? What exactly happened?

[malting]

Arlo would be the best person to answer that. But I'll take this opportunity to reiterate: fighting in The Lobby will not be tolerated, no matter how much of an asshole the other person is. Don't make me give anyone strikes.

[malting]

You have one, by the way. And after I gave you that growler too.

[halligan]

[...] d'you want it back

[malting]

Keep it for your next refill.

[lineman]

Do you often get Red Talon operatives at the bar? Was this typical of them?

[malting]

At the beginning, yes, they came in hot headed and with zero respect. A few misbehave here or there, but for the most part they haven't caused too much trouble lately.

[lineman]

I wonder if this incident was misdirected bravado. Meant for something else.

[deadhunter]

only if shit’s going down

[lineman]

We defer to your expertise, Dutch. Do you remember anything called Grandmother?

[deadhunter]

i don’t know grandmother. they love codenames for projects tho

[lineman]

Projects? Like building things?

[deadhunter]

veryyyyy rarely

[lineman]

But there’s a chance Grandmother may be some structure or specialized equipment.
