- I walked out of the Modular HQ building after I had told Nantz everything I knew about the anthros I had seen from the past few days, and he had decided to take me to the comms building where they had a big portable radio hub that military used during the war-

Nantz: " Alright, once we get to the comms center, we are going to warn Winters about the Threat," - Nantz explained to me as we walked towards the desired building -

Nantz: " And after we inform the other settlements about them, it should give them some time to prepare." - He continued -

- We had reached the building as it was a mobile trailer camouflaged with netting and sporting the M81 camo. Nantz opened the door and walked inside -

- I followed him inside the trailer, same with Miles and Issac. After inside, I saw a shit ton of Radios and other equipment, which was surprising to me because my Army MOS was 25C, so I knew most of the equipment that was being used -

- As I walked deeper into the room, I saw another man who was bald and dressed in a multicam uniform. He had a pair of headphones on and was intently focused on tinkering with a piece of radio equipment. As he turned a nob on one of the radios, I saw him let out a big yawn, likely due to the long hours he had been working. -

Nantz: " Hey, Sergeant, wake up! " - He shouted, gaining the attention of the soldier -

-The soldier jolted awake at the sound of Nantz's voice. He quickly sat up straight, looking around to assess the situation.

Raldo: "What's going on?" - He asked, still groggy -

Nantz: "Easy there, sarge," - Nantz said to the bald man sitting in the office chair -

- The man named Raldo spun around in his office chair, and when he did, I got a better look at the soldier's face. The man looked in his late 20s and had a scar on his forehead. I noticed he had some bags under his eyes, probably due to lack of rest -

- What caught my eye was the uniform that he was wearing as it was a U.S.A.F uniform due to the tag that said U.S Airforce on it -

Issac: " How long have you been doing this? " - Sounding concerned for his well-being -

Raldo: " Being the man in this fort with knowledge of communications has its tolls," - He said, rubbing his eyes -

Nantz: " Not anymore, you're not," - He says proudly -

- - Then Raldo looked in my direction with raid brow -

Raldo: " Him?" - He asked as he stood up from his chair -
