Dean didn't go to sleep that night. After having a few drinks with Katherine, he sent her to bed. She didn't question his orders, she was after all being treated far better than she expected to be, especially after fully learning of the circumstances she had forced her way into.
Instead, Dean took a shower, sobered up, and then went back to his room where he equipped his gear.
He swapped out the 30-round mags in his pouches and replaced them with 45-rounders, and reached for the RPK instead of his AK-74m.
After switching his loadout, he got on the radio and sent out a call to all of his forces.
"This is Archon-actual, I need Phalanx Alpha and Beta to report to No-man's-land ASAP. If you're in the middle of a patrol, get Phalanx-Gamma to cover. This is an all hands on deck situation tonight. Oh, and bring your e-tools, over and out."
After saying this, Dean locked up his home and walked out the front door.
