  1. Scene: it is night time.
  2. CONDUCTOR opens the door of their apartment. Their hair is a blobby mess. They're wearing a nightgown which is open, showing their additional arms.

  4. if happy:
  5. Conductor: Engie, what are you doing here. It's the middle of the night.
  6. Engineer: [flustered] uh, yeah, uh sorry, uh, see, um--
  7. Conductor: [looks down and crosses her inner arms, then covers them with her outer arms as if covering her chest.] I assume you didn't come here to oggle, if so, you're doing a very bad job at it.
  8. Engineer: No, it's just, you didn't answer your telephone, and, uh, listen, night crew had an emergency so the railway needs us to take over.
  9. Conductor: [blank stare. blinks.] Ok, I'll get my headscarf on.
  10. Engineer: [flustered]

  18. Engineer: We're needed on the seven-five-nine. It's uh. The night crew had an emergency, so we need to take over.
  19. Conductor: Just great. There goes my second sleep.
  20. Engineer: I mean, I could, uh, try to handle it on my own?
  21. Conductor: No, no, I'll get ready.
  22. fade to black, then go to orders screen.

  28. Conductor: I am going to throttle somebody.
  29. Engineer: Actually that's my job, aheh. The uh, night crew had an emergency, so we've got to get to the seven-five-nine.
  30. Conductor: Tell management it can wait until tomorrow. I hate switching at night.
  31. Engineer: Ah, so, uh, if the shunting gets backed up, it'll delay the fast mail.
  32. Conductor: Slob-forbid people get their mail a day later. Fine. I'll get ready.
