CB Radio broadcast

Hello? Hello? Can anybody hear me? This is Joe O'Hara. I am sorry to have to announce that London is under attack, I repeat, London is under attack. The Jerrys are bombing London. Please respond. I need to get back to my station, I have an urgent report to make. This is of the utmost importance.

Look, I don't know how I got here. I don't even know where here is. I can only hope that I haven't been captured. And hope that this message reaches the right people.

	You haven't been captured Joe. Not like that. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	What do you mean, not like that? Who is this? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sergeant_barnes 2019-10-17 09:31 pm UTC (link)
	Sergeant James Barnes, of the 107th infantry. And it's a long story Joe. Long and complicated, but Jerry didn't get you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Thanks for the reassurances, Sergeant. So where are we? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That too is pretty damn complicated. And you're probably not going to believe me. [An accent that had been long faded edged into his tone. He was obviously a Brooklyn boy.] Do you mind describing what you can see around you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I most certainly can. I woke up in a small room, the walls appear to be made of some sort of metal. There's a small bed with a thin mattress and a pillow. Toilet over in the corner. I was able to leave that room freely. That's where I found the radio. There's a table, a chair, and a light up picture on the wall with some strange writing on it that I've never seen before. There's a few other rooms like the one I left too. Looks like a holding cell.

	Well that's nice, [Sarcasm clear in his tone.] Sounds like the Brigg. It'll take me a minute to get too you, do you mind sitting tight, given your accommodations? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't mind at all, Sergeant. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Alright I'll be as quick as I can be. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Miguel O'Hara. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Another O'Hara? Well ain't that something else? Where are you from? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	miguel_ohara 2019-10-17 10:05 pm UTC (link)
	New York, although my dad's family are Irish. You? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mybestmaterial 2019-10-17 10:22 pm UTC (link)
	Illinois but I was working in London. Almost moved out to New York fairly recently. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Yeah, don't worry about it. We kick their ass. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	20 years ago, maybe, but we aren't even fighting in this one. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	papahemingway 2019-10-18 11:17 pm UTC (link)
	As of December 1941, we are. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mybestmaterial 2019-10-18 11:54 pm UTC (link)
	1941? It was 1940 when I last checked, but then again, I was standing outside a newly bombed hotel. Who are you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	papahemingway 2019-10-18 11:57 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, I was last in ‘42 myself. We’re both kind of out of our time. Hemingway. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hemingway? Really? Any relation to Earnest? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	papahemingway 2019-10-19 06:37 am UTC (link)
	One and the same. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mybestmaterial 2019-10-19 03:01 pm UTC (link)
	Really? The Earnest Hemingway? Well I'll be damned... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	papahemingway 2019-10-19 03:20 pm UTC (link)
	[He gives a low chuckle] Yeah, the very fella. I've been in and out of this place more times than I can remember now. It's kind of a head fuck, so if I can help you make sense of it at all... well... I mean, no promises, but I'll give it a go. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mybestmaterial 2019-10-19 04:02 pm UTC (link)
	That would be very much appreciated, Mr Hemingway. I can't say I understand much of what's going on, but if you've been here before, I imagine you're just the guy I should be talking to. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	papahemingway 2019-10-20 08:02 pm UTC (link)
	I'll catch a drink with you and fill you in on what I can once Sergeant Barnes has taken care of you. Just hit me up, he'll show you the phones. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mybestmaterial 2019-10-20 08:27 pm UTC (link)
	All right, I'll take your word for it. [He chuckles.] Thanks. (Reply to this) (Parent)
