If you come Avalon, you're going to have to repel at least down the side of some sort of hill

and get through a fence.

If you come the CVS way, you're going to have to make the track through the woods.
02:47
I'll just say we're relayed to the shift commander.

Myself and Lata 101.
05:18
We're going to hop the fence and there's a gradual decline. We're going to try to make our way a little bit closer to the patient, but it's going to take us a minute getting through all this brush.
05:27
Keep talking. We're in the woods right now, walking our way towards you.
05:34
File, I have that T2, assuming command 1730.
05:37
