“We’ve got a malfunction on 3.”
“That’s new. What’s the destination?”
“Phnom Penh.”
“Can’t they handle it?”
“The passenger’s exited just fine. He’s already out of there. The problem is on our end.”
“So the passenger’s been written out properly.”
“The read/write worked just fine. That’s not the issue. It’s the delete that failed.”
“You’re kidding me. Does the passenger know?”
“No. He looks confused. He just thinks he hasn’t been transported.”
“Well, that’s good at least. Can’t have him going around telling people. Who’s on clean up?”
“You.”
“Goddamnit. I hate this part. Is the booth ready?”
“Yep. Shotgun, too.”
“Fantastic. Let Maintenance know about 3. It better be cordoned off by the time I get back.”
“Will do. Have fun!”
“No promises.”
