Knight-Commander Fierro Speaking
Waldo! Listen in! We're about to put Paladin Maxson's plan into action! I'm going t-

*Nearby Explosion*

Knight-Commander Fierro Speaking
Shit! That was close! Listen up, all! We're moving up as soon as we get the word! Sergeant Milan! Your Knights ready with the ammo!?

Knight-Sergeant Milan Speaking
Yes, sir! My boys are loaded up and ready to follow through!

Knight-Commander Fierro Speaking
Excellent! I need your boys to stick with our 60s like glue! Aint no room for fuck ups right now! Those boys will be getting most of the heat and their miniguns chew through ammo faster than we can handle! I don't want those guns quiet for more than 10 seconds, got that!?

Knight-Sergeant Milan Speaking
Yes, Sir!

*11 second succession of distant explosions*

Knight-Commander Fierro Speaking
Waldo! You and your team is taking the advance's left flank! We need those cliffs at 10 o'clock watched at all times! Our Paladins in Sector 3 will provide overwatch with the Gauss rifles, but I need you pouring everything on them if uglies show themselves or Sector 3 is busy covering our right flank!

Knight-Sergeant Waldo Speaking
With pleasure, sir!

Knight-Commander Fierro Speaking
Sergeant Fuller, we're depending on you to cover our right! Lancers show the uglies have a reserve near the pass that'll be gunning for us as soon as we move! They're likely grunts, but they could take our armor's focus off the center, and we can't have that! I'm having Velasquez and Ingram bolster your squad with a 60 and gatling laser just in case! Sheppard's giving us all he has!

Knight-Sergeant Fuller Speaking
Sir! We might need Milan's boys with the ammo! Most of my guys are running dry after last night's assau-

*Nearby Explosion*

*Vertibird engines grow distant*

Knight-Commander Fierro Speaking
Fuck! I can't hear!... You! Aspirant! Get up there to Scribe Ingram and Velasquez! I need that other 60 unit yesterday! Move!

My eyes! I can't see anything! Where am I!? HELP!

*Nearby gunshots*

Knight-Sergeant Waldo Speaking
Sir! Our staging area is gone! What do we do!?

Knight-Commander Fierro Speaking
Get up! We're pressing forward! Keep to the left and send Waugh's team to dig out whoever was hit in that nuke!

[Recording skips 43 seconds]

*Nearby gunshots screaming and explosions*

Hargrave! Keep firing!

*Nearby succession of explosions*

Knight-Commander Fierro Speaking
Missiles on ridge! Focus fire at 10 o'clock! 3 stories up! Fire! Fire!

[Re-calibrating for excessive external noise]

Knight-Commander Fierro Speaking
They're moving up the right! I need them suppressed, NOW!

*Nearby screaming*

Knight-Commander Fierro Speaking
Paladin Maxson! I need your heavies on the right! Milan! Get your guys to the right; they're hitting us with overlords!

*Distant Roaring sound*

Paladin (At the time) Maxson Speaking
Commander! That's Sheppard! You and I will bolster our center or Sheppard'll take us out! I need your help!

Knight-Commander Fierro Speaking
Yes sir! Harris! Regis! Rally with the other 60s and press forward! We're giving them everything!
