Response Option Alpha Tango

A Datron model PRC-1077 radio abruptly crackled to life in a non-descript quonset hut on the West Coast of Tasmania. Silent for weeks, a message came through

The short broadcast consisted only of a mechanically repeated phrase "Execute response option Alpha-Tango - Execute response option Alpha-Tango - Execute response option Alpha-Tango." The statement was bereft of emotion or emphasis.

This broadcast was subsequently interupted by another eerily sinister voice that was, however, altogther human/humanoid. Regretably, it was broken up by a competing broadcast out of WIN-4 Wollongong.

"...Sporadic E,

"I now return you to your regulary scheduled broadcast of Australian Rules Football."

... Suspect Sprodic E"

"Today, South Fremantle versus ...."

Then all was silent.

Somewhere a plane was going down and things were about to get ugly.
