[Open Commlink.]
[There is a hard, sudden, unexplainable snap of connection. A brief second of distant white noise, the white noise Max heard in the last phone message with Luke. Sliding from barely audible to a hard-edged rasp, and finally to a desperate yell that no one has ever heard from the Bat before.]

ORACLE!

[And again, before anyone has a chance to respond.]

Oracle!

	[Immediately.] Locking on to your signal. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	[It doesn't even sound like he hears her. In fact, he doesn't sound like himself at all.] He has her! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Who? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Get help! Stay away! [The signal disconnects abruptly. It hangs there for a few seconds before it will reconnect. static.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oracle. [Sounding panicked.] Coordinates. Now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[A hard reconnect interrupts.] Amanda. Oracle? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	digitaldelphi 2011-01-28 04:58 am UTC (link)
	I'm here. [Ignoring Cipher for the moment, and filing away that other name for later.] I'm sending help. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He has Amanda. [In a half-moan.] You have to get her back. I can't. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	corbinian 2011-01-28 05:03 am UTC (link)
	[He has no idea who Amanda is, but that seems a moot point at the moment.] Is it the Mask Killer? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bystealth 2011-01-28 05:05 am UTC (link)
	[A gunshot, which sounds absolutely authentic but near at hand, comes over the audio at this point, but the Bat literally talks over it.] I can't get to her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	digitaldelphi 2011-01-28 05:07 am UTC (link)
	[Firmly, to Bat.] We'll get her back. I'm sending someone for you both. [To everyone else.] Corbinian, get to Cipher. I'm sending her coordinates. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bylined 2011-01-28 05:08 am UTC (link)
	[She knows perfectly well that Amanda can only be one of two people, and that whoever has him can't have either.] [Firmly] He doesn't have her. Oracle, now would be good. Where's Robin? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bystealth 2011-01-28 05:10 am UTC (link)
	[In a sudden roar of sound.] Don't come here! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notjustsidekick 2011-01-28 05:11 am UTC (link)
	[Ignoring that completely. He sounds downright desperate.] Oracle, where is he? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bystealth 2011-01-28 05:13 am UTC (link)
	Robin. [Breathlessly.] Don't come here. I don't know where he is! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	corbinian 2011-01-28 05:15 am UTC (link)
	[Not listening to him either, sorry Bat.] Get me the coordinates and I'll get there as quickly as I can. No one else go in there. It could easily be a trap and I can take more bullets than you can, I assure you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Need backup? Find things easily. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bylined 2011-01-28 05:18 am UTC (link)
	[The gunshot, admittedly, worries the fuck out of her.] Robin, once Oracle has the coordinates, meet Rorschach, Corbinian and I there. We'll see what we're working with and decide who goes in. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[There is a high female scream in the background this time, and Thomas disconnects.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notjustsidekick 2011-01-28 05:20 am UTC (link)
	[Horrified pause. Then in a near yell] Coordinates, Oracle! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	digitaldelphi 2011-01-28 05:21 am UTC (link)
	Damnit. [Rattles off the location for the four on the commline.] Corbinian, take point. [Aka, do not let Cipher go in there first.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	whisper_no 2011-01-28 05:24 am UTC (link)
	[The sound of Rorschach's grappling gun fills his line as she names the coordinates - he's off.] Rorschach en route. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	corbinian 2011-01-28 05:25 am UTC (link)
	Going. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bystealth 2011-01-28 05:26 am UTC (link)
	[Perhaps two minutes later, a soft reconnect with breathing and the white noise. The white noise doesn't resolve itself until suddenly a semi's horn sounds in the distance, revealing itself to be traffic. He sounds eerily calm now.] I can't hear him anymore. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bylined 2011-01-28 06:30 am UTC (link)
	[She's speeding toward the coordinates, but she doesn't turn off the comm.] Hey, you. [Intentionally light.] Listening? Bat? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
