Yeah, my buddy emailed me at work, it is apparently a bomb scare. On the radio, haven't seen anything on the net yet.

Yep, something about a bomb scare. Right outside my building too. Awesome. Of course they don't tell us... we only work here. I had to find out by looking outside and going down to the lobby.

I work in the Chevron building and we're all still here. Hasn't been a general announcement to employees or anything yet. Don't have any more details, but if I hear a big bang, you CP'ers will be the first to know.

Yeah, I've been telling people on my floor. They are just as surprised as me. I don't have a line of sight on the area though.

I'm in the old Murphy Oil building.. Just watched the bomb squad guy place something on the ground, go behind a pillar, dance a little bit, and then pick up said object and now he's gone.

Said dance is the lost ancient art of defusing.

Ah yes, the ancient and time honoured "oh God, oh God, please don't blow up" dance. Don't see that everyday. Anyways, I'm about to head out... hopefully they're letting us out of the building.

The robot had to come down past Caesars with the "package" dropped it when it came onto the road, then drove up to the grey orb and put it inside. The SUV has now departed with said package containing orb.
