If this is Gary's weapon, he's down, like down hard.

And now it's Randy and me.

And he gets on the fire's net, which we had programmed into survival radios, the fire net, because you pretty much know you're always going to be able to talk to somebody on that net.

That's just how we did it.

And there was an A and a B channel.

I don't know what the B channel was.

Maybe the SAR net or something.

But anyway, so he calls.

And I hear a familiar voice from one of the little birds saying, a reaction force is en route.

All right, hold on a little bit longer.

It's going to be eight hours before somebody else gets to our crash site.

We don't know that.

Randy goes around the bird, makes his last stand.

I mean, it was just a matter of time.

They had all closed on us.

They knew we were lightly defended.

They had set up a matrix of the city just like us.

And they were sending out over handheld radios where the target was so that everybody would converge on it.

And they could overwhelm us with numbers, which they definitely had numbers.
