ACOBandra says:
Viper1:  eight minutes... I think that might be just a bit too long. I want you to put half your fighters on duty asap, half of them as scouts and the others as guard. we can work on the drills to improve response time as we're heading there.
Ops_Ander says:
*ACO* Captain, we've arrived at the convoy and are in contact with the Ard-Rie and Caesar.
Host Viper_1 says:
