M6W3D1, after Pro Bono
This is actually a fairly secure line, oddly enough. Ms. Zaman has a tidy amount of money to her name, and she has connections.
"A phone options tree? Really?"

"We get a lot of calls, and it cuts down on the crank calls, the kooks, and the Decepticons. And the crank calls from Decepticon kooks. What's your malfunction?"
Nightbeat sounds bored. Sharon can't tell, but he's leaning back in the chair with his feet on the console.

Ms. Zaman made one of her aides slog through the phone tree, anyway, and then leave the room. Having help is awesome that way.
"My malfunction is that turning into a tank could kill me, Nightbeat, except Perceptor fixed that."
Now it just makes Xaaron a bit giddy.

"Emirate Xaaron, good to hear from you." Feet still on the console. "And thank you for sparing me having to ascertain your identity. What can I do for you, sir?"

"What, really? You aren't going to ask me about Operation: Volcano? Or the time that you socked me? Or how I told everyone that surrendering to Trannis was a bad idea and now they're all too dead for me to say 'I told you so' to them? Or the time when I unleashed the solid light holograms on this Starscream?"
"Nightbeat, what anti-anxiety medication do they have you on that your natural paranoia has been so thoroughly suppressed? I'm worried about you. However, for starters, you can give me a debrief on the situation and fetch me contact information for Rodimus Prime."

"Okay, you're definitely you. And you're thinking of Red Alert. I'm the detective who solves the case by throwing out the rules, remember?" Nightbeat responds.
"Also, Shockwave wants to talk to you, apparently. Should I tell Pincher to tell him to go throw himself off a cliff?"

"The rules, perhaps, but not every last vestige of common sense. Hmm... actually, I might go talk with Shockwave."
"And bring the Wreckers. I know where Impactor is, I'm defending him on an assault charge..."

"So, just tell him to meet you somewhere that has a cliff, then," Nightbeat responds, sounding faintly amused.
"Yeah? You found Impactor? You have contact information for him?"

"I do," but Nightbeat might have already gotten that contact information from Raymond, anyway, "but I suppose should wait on giving it until we meet in person. Human networks and all."

"Yes, sir. Will you be needing any supplies?"

"Hmm, I'm going to hold off on that until we have a more secure line. I am... comfortably off."
Sharon is not Mirage, but she managed to get her hands on a Dome Zero. That's pretty impressive.
