The Agentlemen: Out and About

One parcel. One address.
I like those numbers.
What's wrong with it?
It's been returned six times.
Wrong address?
Apparently, the parcel disagrees.
[The parcel deploys jointed legs and runs.]
It has legs.
So does the job.

It's getting away!
It's a small model.
So am I!
Hello.
[DELIVERY EXCEPTION slips; the parcel boards a maintenance tram.]
Did we catch it?
You boarded it.

It's driving.
Does it have a licence?
It has a README.
We're not on the public route.
ARE YOU SURE? / Yes.
ARE YOU REALLY SURE? / Still yes.
It thinks we're the delivery.
[Label: CONTENTS: AGENTS]
Then who's receiving us?
[DEAD LETTER OFFICE]

At last. Agents with hands.
You ordered us?
I ordered a repair.
This has been leaking for six upgrades.
Didn't anyone help?
[HERE ARE SOME STEPS]
Six excellent explanations.
Nobody turned the valve.
Where's the shut-off?
Behind the paperwork.

I'll hold the backlog.
Sol. Here!
Rated for two agents.
I'm counting you.
KLUNK
Leak stopped.
Hang on!

[Sol anchors Fable, who reaches into the drain.]
Got you.
[The crew rescues the case and sorts the backlog.]
Six returns. First repair.
[RESOLVED]
Delivery complete.
No more parcels.
He's not a parcel. He's staff.
