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.

You are being very cavalier about this. […] Why?

[halligan]

[...] how else should i be

[lineman]

When I sustained injuries from fights, I would isolate myself and look at clouds. […] But this is an alternate way to react, I suppose.

[halligan]

why d'you cloudgaze

[lineman]

Clouds are peaceful when you have too many emotions.

[halligan]

[...] i find it's the fighting that takes care of the feelings for me

[lineman]

Ah, I see. I have never chosen to fight, but I suppose if one is willing, there could be catharsis. […] You enjoy risk.

[halligan]

[lineman]

Court told me […] Do fights seem to find you?

[halligan]

[lineman]

Just wondering about my fellow Summit members.

[halligan]

[...] i grew up a lil rough's all, i ain't about to be a danger to anybody on the summit.

[lineman]

Oh, I did not mean to suggest you were. I was truly just curious. I apologize.
