Request Line: Electricity

INT. RECORDING STUDIO – DAY

Open on an empty studio.  Two distinct spots in the air begin to shimmer, and a pair of figures begin to materialize.  The first takes the shape of a cyborg, and the second forms a wedge-shaped, six-wheeled rover.  The two robotic creatures begin looking around in utter confusion.

RQBOCOP: WAIT, WHAT IS GOING ON?

BRONCO: I AM UNABLE TO ANSWER YOUR QUERY. WHERE ARE WE?

RQBOCOP: IT LOOKS LIKE A RADIO STATION STUDIO. HOW DID WE GET HERE?

BRONCO: [BEEP BOOP BEEP] GENERAL PROTECTION FAULT. MEMORY NOT FOUND.

RQBOCOP: YEAH, ME TOO.

BRONCO: ACCORDING TO MY LAST VALID MEMORY RECORD WE WERE IN THE DFO PRODUCTION OFFICE.

RQBOCOP: A SEARCH OF MY EVIDENCE COLLECTION FILES PRODUCES THE SAME RESULT. IS IT POSSIBLE WE ABUSED OUR POLICE AUTHORITY IN SOME WAY AND THE BODY CAMERA FOOTAGE ERASURE PROTOCOL WAS ACTIVATED?

BRONCO: MY MEMORY CIRCUITS ARE NOT DESIGNED WITH THAT FEATURE SO I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT IS LIKELY.

PRODUCER: [through intercom] Oh, hey guys. Glad you’re here. You ready for your segment?

RQBOCOP: PLEASE PROVIDE MORE INFORMATION ON AFOREMENTIONED “SEGMENT”.

PRODUCER: You’re hosting Request Line this week.

BRONCO: WE ARE?

PRODUCER: Yep.

RQBOCOP: PLEASE PROVIDE MORE INFORMATION ON AFOREMENTIONED “REQUEST LINE”.

BRONCO: IT’S FINE I KNOW WHAT TO DO.

PRODUCER: We’re on a bit of a tight schedule here, so let’s get rolling. Theme is “electricity”.

BRONCO: SURE THING. [leans forward into microphone] HEY THERE FOLKS WELCOME TO ANOTHER EDITION OF REQUEST LINE! ALL THE LADIES OUT THERE IN RADIOLAND PREPARE TO GET SHOCKED [holds up flipper lever in an obscene gesture] CAUSE THE THEME THIS WEEK IS E-LEC-TRICITY. GIVE US A CALL WITH YOUR REQUESTS FOR SONGS THAT GET YOU ALL CHARGED UP AND WE’LL GIVE THEM A SPIN. I’LL GET US STARTED WITH A CLASSIC DOUBLE SHOT FROM THE MOST ELECTRIC BAND IN THE HISTORY OF ROCK AND ROLL: AC/DC.

Does it count if it’s in the band’s name instead of the song?
Magnolia Electric Co. — The Dark Don’t Hide It

He meant the electric power kind of transformer, right?

The drone did better than expected, because the drone didn’t get hit by the flying main bot. How Escape Velocity was ranked lower I don’t know, it at least looks competent.

I had to cheat on my first and only entry. I can’t think of anything for this theme. While looking I did end up at a Rolling Stones playlist with 50 songs, so I am good on music for the afternoon.
