The water here is over the fences, so it should be probably easy access for me with a hovercraft.
02:21
If you want to head this way, I have a vortex here with me.
02:27
And between you, if you take command and I fly it or you fly it either way, we can probably just make this easy just with our resources and you keep 40 to 9 and 50 units over there.
02:40

02:43
