RIIC, Control Center

The Dokutah was given the opportunity to have him and the operators in the Control center watch what was going on. Apparently via an uplink with cameras that are on the helmets, he and the others can see how exactly the operation will go.

Foley directed him over a phone on how to set the system up, and he could only remark on how easy it really is. "Just gotta use a program we currently have, and just accept any uplink signals that have the US' initials in its IP?"

"Correct, tell me if it's online," he looked over at Nearl, who began to type it in. "I got requests for about 17 IPs, Dokutah." Dokutah gave a hum, "Foley we have your IPs."

"Fantastic, over and out."

The soft Hum of the control center's machines was back on. Dokutah now watching as approximately 16 screens began to slowly link up with the IPs of each camera. It was taking a while to load, so the Dokutah walked over to a panel and watched it, intently.

The phone began to ring again, Dokutah went over to it, "Hello?"

"Dokutah? I trust you have been well?" A female voice came through, roughened like his. Dokutah hummed in recognition, "Ahh... Physia," he hummed. Another female companion, given the title of Psychiatrist. She's like him, strategically smart, good in charisma, and hooded heavily, to hide her own identity unless it's in privacy.

The hiring of another person like the Dokutah was necessary, especially after Chernobog, especially to alleviate the pressure of the Dokutah when it's clear that the amnesia is going to last quite a while.

Only he himself and Amiya, as well as the medical staff, have enough trust to see what Physia looked like under the hood and mask. Smiling, the Dokutah struck up conversation, "have things been well out there? I heard politics is a real ugly thing to handle."

A soft laugh came from the speaker, "Yeah... real ugly, the A4 Operators are coming in a great help out here."

Dokutah raised his eyebrow, "Why? What happened out there?" A low sigh came from her.

"Remember Reunion?" An explosion was heard through her receiver, as well as the yelling of Ranger.

"Oh... right..." Dokutah coughed into his hand, "W-Well. Physia, good luck out there, your help and work is really helping to lighten the load out here."

"Thank you, and good luck handling the base, a place to come back home to is always nice," the call ended, just as the screens began to turn on. Dokutah exhaled, relieved that it went through.

He looked at the bottom right of each screen, which had the names, ranks if applicable, and the 'Soldier Kit' that each person had. There was also a big letter and the letters 'FT-' next to them.

A had Foley only. B had Ramirez, Kroos, and Exusiai. C had Carmen, Blaze, Texas, Red, and Lappland. D had Dunn, Gavial, Skyfire, and Sora, and E only had Jonathan, Croissant, Bison, and Mudrock.

Organization, good.

Dokutah began to send messages to some operators to come up into the Control Center. He also called the LGD Operators onboard, and the operators that worked in that City Mission.

Just as the message went out, Exusiai's camera began to fully lighten up, and it showed her walking towards an unknown flying vehicle that was slowly turning on.

"Good luck out there, operators... Hunter 2-1 better keep you all in one piece."
