*sounds of not-so-distant gunfire and other assorted combat noises*
"CITIZEN!! This is a restricted area! You cannot be here!"
"Not to worry there, Officer! I got the manifest right chere!"
*the driver passes a small tablet to the ADVENT soldier*
"No, citizen! The.. the manifest is not the issue here! We kinda have a situation going on right now, so you need to take your truck and vacate the premises!"
*the driver scoffs, annoyed*
"Look, I get that you got a job to go do, but so do I! And my job is to make sure THIS cargo gets delivered to THIS address at exactly 15:30 TODAY! So sign here, please."
"And according to my helmet thing, right now it is 15:14. So you need to come back in sixteen minutes, and by that time we'll have this situation under control!"
*the driver rubs the bridge of his nose*
"Oh, come on! This? I've delivered pizza to worse neighborhoods! Now could I please get a signature?"
.. .
As I was reorganizing displays, I absently placed a cargo truck right in the middle of a firefight, and this awkward scenario/conversation came to mind. And if it causes just one person to rapidly exhale through their nose, then it will have all been worth it.
