6th Book: Shambling Voices

Phone

I...couldn't catch everything that was said over the radio, but I was able to jot down the basics, for everypony that's interested:

(A slight rustling of papers before she clears her throat and reads aloud.)

"Hello? Can anyone hear me?
Insane. I don't know if you can hear me.
Glitches. It's not perfect, not even for us.
Chance to strike back. More dangerous that ever...unstable...only gotten worse since.
Losing control, not only for themself.
Some kind of carnival...trying to hurt you...
...find the answers you're looking for.
Codes in the system.
Holes through Mayfield. I know, I'm...Mayfield...
I don't know if anyone heard this...
Get out of town now, for all our sakes...
...signing off."

And I believe I heard the name "Richard Grey" somewhere in there, but I can't be certain. Can anyone confirm this?

His name was mentioned in some notes someone let me glance at about a year ago, but it was from something that happened long before I got here. So, it's been a while.

Magic should help, as long as they don't take it from you. Sometimes they take away our things from home temporarily.

[magicalrealist]

I see...so I'll definitely have to look into that when I can. If names from previous events were mentioned, then that previous event will probably hold relevance.

Yes, that's...one of my greater concerns. I'll have to prepare for both scenarios, but I won't mind; I'd rather be safe than sorry.

Will you be able to get what you need?

[The voice sounds female, so that rules out her getting weapons from the hardware store. And she said everypony, so he must be one of the ponies in town, so she might not be able to shop at the general store. But she did mention magic, so that might help her.]

Unfortunately, I don't know what happened with that event, but some of the people who have been here longer might. I'm having a meeting at my house tonight if you'd like to join us.

[magicalrealist]

I think so; if anything, I could ask my housemates to go to the store for me to get the necessary things.

I'd love to join in and do what I can to help! Mind if I ask for your address?

[queen_of_swords]

Good, I'm glad there is someone willing to help you with that.

I'm at 1671 Nelson. My name is Olivier Armstrong.

[magicalrealist]

My name is Twilight Sparkle; it's a pleasure to meet you, Olivier.

I'll be right over!
