Bearded Man said, "Folks, I have one question, that is whether or not we should contact East Base for artillery support?"
Maya countered, "Why do you ask?" Calling for an artillery strike from East Base was part of their original plan, creating chaos for retreat after an assassination. Of course, it was a contingency plan, because, even with contact, there was no guarantee East Base would be willing to fire. After all, East Base had never taken the initiative to contact the railway bridge base in all this time.
Bearded Man said, "They are living well. Our goal is either to eliminate Nightmare or Starlight, but I don't want to destroy a mature community with order."
Maya asked, "Regret making this trip?"
Bearded Man replied, "No, it was essential to come, even if they lived an idyllic life, we would still have come. It's a mission, if not me, then someone else. But after synthesizing the situation and information, I don't think it's necessary to call for an artillery strike."
