"...bzzzt... Come in, Drake... Come in, dammit!"
 
"I'm here. All is okay for the most part. Had an incoming shell from mom-in-law but I think I managed to avoid it, and kept my troops shielded from the blast. Been scanning the horizon for opportunities, sent out a few rez-u-mays to see if anything bites at 'em. If so, I hope to reel 'em in. Still need to find food and shelter for the troops. Colonel Beth is beside me doing some R&D on using frogs as an anti-personnel device, but I don't know the progress on her research."
 
"...chhhhstx...bzzzt... What was that about mom-in-law? And frogs? Sorry, General, but I wanna know what you've been smoking?"
 
"I don't smoke! You know that, Corporal. Anyway, we're going to go into radio silence from here but we'll have the mobile comm gear with us if you need to get through. Drake out."
