Bad Things have happened. Nene's calling the emergency number, Mackie answers, identifying himself as "operator" and using a filtered voice. And what does Nene do? Call him by name, then ask for an "exit" from coded coordinates.
Anyone listening? Anyone want to have a data point for breaking a code? Yes, I know it would probably not be likely in story context, but still... what happened to security???
