🎵 Play transition jingle: move_1.mp3
🎵 Play background Music: background_static.mp3
Protocoller: Initiate Microphone Protocol. Performer: What should we do? Navigator: I will open a connection to the Ether. Ground Control, please update us on our microphone status.
🎵 Play Connecting to the ether track Connecting_to_the_ether.mp3
Protocoller: Good. Meanwhile, reading paragraph 'Step-by-step Guide' from chapter 'Microphones' in The Hitchhiker's Guide to an Active Archive:
This should take about as long as the 'Connection to the ether' track.
Protocoller: Step 1. Is the mixer plugged in? (Muffled sounds) Performer: Check Protocoller: Step 2: Is the phantom power on? (Muffled sounds) Performer: Check Protocoller: Step 3: Listen to yourself through headphones. (Muffled sounds) Performer: Check. Sounds okay now. Protocoller: Step 4: Check the cable, in case it's broken. (Muffled sounds) Performer: Check... Ah.. Wait... Navigator, did you press this button? Performer: (Muffled sounds) Protocoller: Step 5: Have you tried turning it off and on again? Performer: No need Protocoller.
If PAD indicates trouble with the microphones:
🎵 Play audio track of stuff going wrong; maybe warp our voices in the next dialogue lines
Navigator: Eeeuuuhhmmm... Protocoller: Performer, please verify you're adherring to the protocol. Performer: I was following the protocol! Navigator: Oh no, we're pulled in towards the center of the Archive. I don't think we can stop this!
Otherwise:
Navigator: Okay, I think we're good! Ground Control verifies the Microphone Protocol was successful. Performer: Phew, that was stressful. Protocoller: Understood. Commence Chill Protocol.
