"Sample Intercom Announcement..."
 
  
The following, inspired by watching my way through MASH: the Complete Second Season, could probably fit on either WDF or CFMF starships or bases. The concept just tickled me, so here it is, possibly the first of many...

"Attention all decks, attention all decks.

"The captain wishes to remind all crewmembers that the burning of effigies of Lieutenant Commander Cowpers is strictly prohibited.

"Tonight's movie, 'Love Battlestar,' has been cancelled due to the school group visiting, and will be replaced by 'Tiki's Little Neighborhood 4-Ever,' which promises to live up to advertising. Quartermaster advises all those who reserved seats to the theater that popcorn requisitions are non-refundable.

"The schedule for tomorrow's religious services is as follows. Yom Kippur and Salusian Autumnal Equinox to be held simultaneously in the chapel, Jewish worshippers to the left and Salusian Orthodox to the right. Klingon Kahless memorials to be scheduled with Rec Deck and Sickbay. Participants are reminded to avoid mortal wounds if possible.

"Finally, the captain wishes to remind the crew about the regulations concerning gambling; bob-tail flushes and bob-tail straights are not recognized as legitimate poker hands. Lieutenant Smith owes Petty Officer Hajj twenty-eight credits and is to report to Captain's Mast at 0900 tomorrow.

"That is all."

   Heh. Our overhead paging system here at work is accessible through any phone so that people don't have to rely on the receptionist to page (and for the significant amount of time we exist here after hours). I do pages like that once in a blue moon when everyone is extra crispy around a delivery. What's especially funny is that there are speakers for the system outside, so I know it's also entertaining the Venice locals and street people as well. :)

And, of course, some smartass will page 'George Lucas' at least once a year, though I suppose there's always a slight chance it could be genuine...

The phone system at GTE in Needham could do that, except it was an all-call to the speaker function on everyone's phone rather than to the overhead. (See, the building belonged to GTE Government Systems, and so we in Internetworking, who were just there because our division was out of space, didn't get access to the built-in building stuff.) Every now and then, one of the Telesales drones would get bored, trip the all-call and one of the toys on his desk at the same time, and leave me to explain to the prospective clients in my office why the phone on my desk just bleated and intoned, "ˇYo quiero Taco Bell!"

You too, the movie must be a more recent voice sample for us then.

He's the gawky guy who's often the server in the mess tent, but he also does about half the announcements.

<shrug> Not really. But I have a soundtrack of the movie that has most of the PA announcements, including the closing cast list.
