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.

Oh, I was not aware. […] I never went back.

Perhaps Grandmother is a project that got out of hand? Some of the radio operators were talking to each other as if they wanted to destroy it. I do not think they were command, though.

We left too. But. ~~My father~~ [...] I am aware of pockets of resources. That would have survived the bombs.

Could be.
Good news is. That threat sounds in Seattle. Not here. They better leave it there.

Resources? With people? Would they have taken in others?

Not sure.

Hospitals are dead though, right?

As far as I know.
But. We left a long time ago. Lots could have changed. Since then. New settlements, like ours.

Yeah, makes sense. I assume all my former co-workers are gone.

There were warnings. They might’ve got out. So maybe just. Little g gone.

Yeah. Can't dwell on it, though.

Do you know who controls these resources? Perhaps there is a way we can contact them, ask about Grandmother. […] And of those who were trapped in Seattle but survived?

Not an option.
No idea how to contact them. Even if it was.

Sorry.

How do you even know of them?

Just. Some contacts I once had. From that area.
Ended on poor terms. Details don't matter.

That’s a shame. It would be good to know what happened after […] everything that happened.

Thank you anyway.

when red talon takes people in they become resources; they're not a community like we are. 🥰🥰🥰

[…] Are the 🥰s meant to convey irony?

not at all! would you prefer if i said communities?

Oh, no. I misunderstood you. I focused too much on people being resources. What do you mean by that?

their love for a military-style hierarchy doesn't leave very much room for families or self-exploration. you become your job in a more strict way than what we're building here.
