Submitted to Contest #183

Mobilize for Phoenix, appeared on the channel reserved for the militia. The Free Born Discord servers had been blowing up for over seventy-two hours. Incessant be-boops were driving me up the wall. I mean, how much can you say about ammunition stores and meeting points? The clamor of it hurt my brain. Finally, I muted all media channels except for one.
