Malcolm blew past the Wichita Falls checkpoints and hit northward from Jolly up towards Thornberry.
"Breaker breaker, This is Bandit calling Rubber Ducky..."
"This is Rubber Ducky, Now who the hell are you Bandit and why am I listening to you?"
"I'm running from Smokey and "Big Iron" said you could help me get back to my buddy who's currently running with Big Iron's convoy."
"Yeah... Can do Bandit."
Malcolm skirted the Air Force Base
"Rubber Ducky calling Bandit..."
"Bandit Here."
"Alright, so you're skirting Sheppard AFB, Make your way to Burkburnett then burn for Haynesville, and I'll put you up for an hour or two, get you some food and fuel while the Convoy catches up."
"Fair Enough, Rubber Ducky, but I'm trailing a Madman Omawari, He's been on me since Texarkana."
"Haynesville is Jodes Territory, No Laws in here but Nomad laws. Only Lawman'd be crazy to come in here'd be..."
"Bandit to Rubber Ducky... Come in Rubber Ducky?"
"Bandit, tell me you ain't being chased by Justice..."
"Does it make a difference?"
"He's a hell of a lot more annoying than normal lawmen. That family is just made different. Anyway come on by, I'll get food on and fuel ready."
"Much Appreciated Rubber Ducky. Bandit Out."
Malcolm rolled into Haynesville, got his Caliburn into the correct hidden spot as directed, and got introduced to Mr. and Mrs. Rubber Ducky Sr. by their son the current Rubber Ducky.
When he'd filled his gut and his tanks he sat down to watch some TV. It wasn't Holoscreens like back home, but this was an actual antique 8k UHD flatscreen... He'd never seen one outside of history books.
What it showed though... caused him to almost spit out his drink...
"And now, on our Top Ten: One Hit Wonders! and Indie Bands: The Perennial Favourite that has to be mentioned is of course the excellent One Hit Wonder from the Neon Locust in 2076. Haruhi Suzumiya and the band Weeb Trash!, their use of Hacks and direct-to-brain transmission of a Music BD launched an entire new Genre in Seattle Music with the Hit, "God Knows!"..."
Malcolm watched Motoko get up Seattle Shenanigans. He quickly started recording then, after he'd got it all, he sent the vid hacked and unhacked versions to Hiromi and Jun back in NC. Labeling the vid "'Toko being a professional Solo in Seattle"
