BEEP!

BEEP! is the noise Consoles make when a mission has been received for a Response Center.

Beeps appear in most mission logs as as a [BEEP!] of varying length, likely depending on how the Console itself is feeling and what the Agents themselves are doing at the time.

These Beeps are loud, and high pitched, and grate on the hearing of most Agents.

Occasionally, the Console might be sufficiently threatened into making a muted [Bip.]

Some Agents reprogram their consoles for something less grating. One console plays "Ride of the Valkyries," and another plays "Fireplace Theme" (an agitato bonus track in the Myst soundtrack).
