[ For the moment, the video function remains off. Which is a shame, because dem ginger curls. But he's testing the waters, so for now it's only the Scottish brogue that filters over the network. ]

It figures. The one time I dial 999 and nobody bloody answers.

[ It's probably a good thing no one answered; Ashley isn't even sure what he would have said. This was all too surreal already. ]

That's just typical; years of loyal service and putting up with government standards and this is the thanks I get.

So who am I talking to? To whom do I owe the great honour of experiencing this mental clusterfuck, and when do I get to wake up? More importantly, where can I find a pack of cigarettes. Mine's almost out.

[ All things considered, Ashley sounds pretty calm. His tone is light, if a bit annoyed, though the sarcasm that laces his every word runs deep. ]

Oh I was thinking more along the lines of 'seriously bad trip', or 'curry nightmares' but sure, lets hear yours. It can't get any weirder.

Well, basically we've been brought here against our will to fight a battle that has nothing to do with us. We've been told that we'll be able to go home once the war is won, but I have my doubts.

Fan-fucking-tastic.

Really, this is exactly what I rolled out of bed to do in the morning.

Made my day, in fact. [ A blatant lie. ]
