/Silence…/
/Beep!/
[Operation Start. Over]
Amidst the silence of expectation, Roger's radio suddenly buzzed with activity, and soon after, a voice rang within their small camp:
[Understood. Over]
Roger put down the radio before taking a step forward.
"It's time. I'll take it from here. You should get ready as well as your turn will come soon."

To a certain degree, it was tame.
Dale wouldn't have become like this if he hadn't had time to think and reflect.
