{The scene is set in 2004, featuring a short haired female with brown hair, blue eyes, freckles, and a long, prominent nose. Her name is Ferris Manticore—boo, stupid name—and she's a hacker for a rogue agency. Ferris is 26 years old, has a girlfriend, and she's allergic to everything. And I mean, EVERYTHING OUTSIDE.}
I'm purposefully trying the "transcript" format. May be a part 2... ------------------------------- (Sniff) "Ihh... Hhk'TZZDZCHH!" The lights, which were originally off, suddenly turn on to reveal a tall, tan-skinned female with short hair in a bobcut, blue eyes, freckles, and a prominent nose. She is wearing a green blouse with what appears to be tight khakis. Her voice sounds scratchy, congested, and husky. "Ihh... Hrr'EDZCHHH-iuh!" (sniff) "Shit, is this working?" From the view, her short nails are painted an obsidian black. The camera pans over to a messy room, obviously cluttered with manga and anime posters. The camera is being tampered with as the video shifts side to side. The short-haired female grumbles, rubbing at her nose as it makes a viscous squelching sound. "Fuhh--HADSZChh! HADZCHHH! HDZCHHH'uhh! Heh-heh-hehh-EDZCHHHH-iiUU! Fuckin' allergies..."
The female's nostrils flex with irritation, her nostrils widening with each passing second. She rubs her nose in a circular motion before facing the camera once more.
"My name... Hrrr'ESDZCHHH-UUUH!! Hehh-heh-IDZCHHHOOO! ASSSCHHHOO!! HrrEDZCHHH-yiuu!" (long wet sniffle) "Uhh-HDhh!"
A false start: the woman grabs a tissue from a pink tissue box in the back of the cluttered room. She lifts the tissue to her face and leaves from the camera's view. [OFF CAMERA] "HRRRSCHHH! HRRSCHHH! RRRAASSDZCHH! Ehh'ADDZCHHH! Hhh-REESCHHH-OOO!! HDDDZCCHH'OOO!!"
There is a loud, gurgling honking sound. The camera—for a quick second—catches a glimpse of the woman blowing her nose. The female reappears on the screen, her nose looking reddened and irritated. She clears her throat, trying her best not to sneeze again.
"Bloody hell..."
The woman pinches her long nostrils shut.
"Kghm-- My name is Fehh--HD'Knnpt!"
The woman painfully stifles a sneeze with her thumb and index finger.
"My name is Ferris Manticore, and I'm in trouble."
To viewers viewing the transmission, a pop-up window types out the name "Ferris Manticore" in all caps.
"There's a hehh-DZCHH! Heh-CHHDZCHH! HRRDZCHHH! Hehh-CDZCHH!-IDZCHH!-IDZCHHiu! Heh'EEEDZCHHH-IIIEW! Oh, Hell..."
Ferris looks out the window, her nostrils flexing with every passing second.
"There's a fuhh-HDZCHHHnght! Fucking satellite... HRRDZCHH-oo! EDZCHHH-ooh! Huhh-hovering by my house..."
Ferris grabs the pink tissue box, blowing her nose hard. The camera is being picked up, and Ferris pokes the lens through the blind. There is a giant black satellite, flashing ominously and hovering nearby. When the satellite flashes red, Ferris quickly removes the camera from the blind. [END TRANSMISSION]
