"Cel?"
"Yes~"
"Glad to see you're ready to go. How are things at the base? How's Crawford doing as well?"
"Well I can't really see much from the cockpit, but I'm sure Angelica's doing fine. Crawford's just finished loading her shells, too. High explosive, right?"
"Yep, but have her running our new shells after her first run. Not the fusion nukes, just the small nukes. Those pack a punch where it matters, and I want you to load up on those too after your first run."
"Affirmative~ I already have them loaded for my first run"
"Alright, that works too. Andrew?"
"Yes?"
"Cel and Crawford will be under your command, as usual."
"Oh! How exciting to be under Delta's second in command!" teased Cel.
Andrew shushed Cel good-naturedly while synchronizing the bunker and their armor's computers. "Do make sure Crawford knows how to use the coordinates we'll send and the attack patterns.

"You betcha~"
"Angelica?"
"Yes, dear?"
"I'm not sure if I need fire support from Transcendia, but have someone standby on the Punishers just in case. Things may get sticky fast."
"Alright~"
Three in the morning. Cy's grip on his explosive sniper rifle tightened slightly as he heard the familiar sounds of gunshots ringing in the distance.
"Stay frosty Delta. And comfy in there, too. I'm going to ahead scout.'
"Whatwould I give for a cloth bedroll right now...stay safe, Commander."
