I really doubted what the hell Eischel and Wildner were up to but she's been eerily calm this last week. Which, I mean, at least she's not disorientated any more? Still fainting but you know. Not forgetting things.
James Anderson
I don't care what bullshit people are saying. There's no way that guy's a True Elysian. Not unless the radio neighbourhood watch is some kind of elaborate trap. No see, he set up this sorta code so if you see one of us or one of the Tel in trouble, you grab someone with a receiver and send out this signal and help's supposed ta come running- no yeah he does collect some weird shit though…
Gaius Eischel
The whole fighting buddy system he put in is really pissing me off. I've got to tail this weedy-ass Tel-lover around so they're not caught defenceless. Ask me, better off just teaching them how to fight and being done with it.
Jan Beno
Apparently he was the True Elysian that organised the raid on the armoury? What the fuck? Least he got his knee cap shot in.
Jeremiah Waters
Did you hear? He was murdered. Found in his cell with the bastards who did it standing over him. Guards didn't get to him in time. I heard it was Tel.
The Redemption Radio Hour
“Welcome to redemption radio. I’m your host, The Redeemer. Today’s top story. Station blue repairs have been going excellently, with reports suggesting the station is now habitable, and will in fact be up and running before we all die from oxygen depletion. Well done to the brave people on that mission. They have done some excellent work which will keep us all alive in the long run. You certainly have the gratitude of the people here at this station. In other news, rumours persist that the family may have been behind the sabotage at station blue, possibly so they could make credits with black market oxygen tanks. A brief word of advice to the family, you can’t breathe credits…”
Five Finger Death Punch, 'American Capitalist' plays.
“A riot occurred recently in the cantina, with many guards reportedly being injured. Andras Blake was seen kicking ass as always, as were several other inmates including a group of patriots led by a man shouting ‘ELYSIUM PREVAILS…’. Choice words really, considering he was promptly punched in the face. That crazy fool got what he deserved. Out here, Elysium cannot prevail. If your empire is so great, why are we stuck here in such dire straights. The Empire is falling, fighting a pointless war it cannot win. Frankly. It’s time for new government. Even the most staunch of patriots must see that. Our homes will be destroyed by this war. If you truly loved your home, you would sue for peace…”
Edwin Star, 'War, What is it Good For?' plays.
“Next up, it’s time for the open letter. An open letter to bland protein cubes. Ah bland protein cubes, you maintain my body, stop me dying, even allow me to exercise on occasion, but why must you always be so… well… bland? You taste worse than the newspaper the Elysian’s print their propaganda on, and frankly you have a similar texture. Even heated you aren’t much better, although the guards do love to give you to us cold. What wouldn’t I give to introduce you to my friend, chilli. They would show you one hell of a good time. Seriously though, you are terrible, and you need to improve. Kind regards, The Redeemer.”
The Bouncing Souls, 'The Pizza Song' plays.
“Lets talk about crochet. Now I know what you’re thinking. What kind of crazy ass wanabee punk station is gonna commit social suicide by talking about crochet. Well let me tell you listeners, it’s the most fun I’ve had on this goddamn rock since we played Green Day on our last show. Honestly. And we’ve made the most gorgeous blankets with the class. Honestly, go see them in the main hall; they are amazing. The peace we enjoyed during that class is just the kinda peace we could all enjoy if we all just stopped trying to kill each other and actually enjoyed each others' company. Honest. Little secret for you now. Some time ago I was attacked by somebody, somebody who is now my best friend. Seriously. We work out together and everything. A stranger is just a friend you haven’t made yet. Honest.”
Rancid, 'Old Friend' plays.
“The missing scarf of everybody’s favourite correctional officer, Chris Kayyali, continues to be missing, with knee caps across the station shaking in fear at the prospect. Seriously, what an asshole she is. Shooting people over a scarf. Here we are slaving to make sure her ass doesn’t suffocate, and she gets trigger happy with a bunch of prisoners. If anybody does know the whereabouts of the scarf, you are encouraged to give it up, leave it near her room or something, please. Let the goddamn scarf fiasco end.
“In other news, rumours persist that a certain Arnir Hesran has struck again, savagely murdering two anonymous prisoners in cold blood. The bastard couldn’t even look them in the eye, preferring instead to kill them in their sleep. This presenter, despite not usually condoning violence, suggests that if he were to be ‘dealt with,’ it would not be a total disaster. He is, after all, a threat to all of us… Here’s one now, which really for me sums up my prisoner’s experience.”
Blink 182, 'I wont be Home for Christmas'1) plays.
“Ahh bubba, wherever you are right now, I do wish you would open my package…
“So that’s all we have time for this week listeners. Thanks for tuning in. If you have any information you wish to be broadcast and you haven’t worked out who I am yet… well good luck to you.
“This is The Redeemer, signing off.
“Stay safe out there.”
