With a couple soldiers leading the way, the two of them went straight to the Military Command Center.
"Haha, you two are here early," General Cross said.
The moment he heard Ethan had arrived, Cross and a few others set their work aside and came out to meet them right away.
"Not that early." Ethan smiled. "It's already past eight."
"For you young people, isn't eight o'clock the best time to be dead asleep?"
"That was before," Ethan said. "It's the apocalypse. Who's still sleeping in?"
General Cross laughed. "Fair point. You came this early because of the satellite phone, right?"
"Yeah." Ethan nodded. "Having no comms is a huge pain."
"Understood." General Cross's expression turned a little awkward. "I managed to fight for one satellite phone for you. But Atlas City's area is under pretty tight control right now—each compound is only authorized one. This is the absolute limit of what I can get you."
"One?" Ethan frowned, helpless. "Alright. One it is."
Better than nothing.
