Roger Maxson's Radio Communication to Lieutenant Elizabeth Taggerdy
October 29th 2077
Corporal Johnny Moreno: Trying band... AH-13. Lieutenant! I got something!
Lieutenant Elizabeth Taggerdy: I can't make anything out.
Corporal Johnny Moreno: Sorry. Working on it.
Roger Maxson: Maxson to Appalachia. I repeated, this is Captain Roger Maxson.
Lieutenant Elizabeth Taggerdy: Give that to me.
Roger Maxson: Seeking any...
Lieutenant Elizabeth Taggerdy: Lieutenant Taggerdy here. Captain? It's you?
Roger Maxson: Lizzy? Damn, it's good to hear a friendly voice.
Lieutenant Elizabeth Taggerdy: Captain. I heard... I heard you're a traitor.
Roger Maxson: Traitor? If disobeying unconscionable orders makes you a traitor, then I suppose I am. Lizzy, I'm glad you're alive but I need to find someone in Appalachia. Someone dependable.
Lieutenant Elizabeth Taggerdy: That's where I am. The Thunder was running war games against some jarheads.
Roger Maxson: They still in one piece? By god, Lizzy. This... This is good news.
Lieutenant Elizabeth Taggerdy: Roger, you're a traitor. I could be court-martialled even talking to you.
Roger Maxson: Look around, Lizzy. The Army's gone. America's fallen. I know you have questions, but we need to talk. There are things I learned at Mariposa. I got a scientist with me... Doctor Takano. We'll set up a secure channel. I'll answer all your questions, then.
Lieutenant Elizabeth Taggerdy: Captain...
Roger Maxson: Lizzy, you know me. We need to talk.
Lieutenant Elizabeth Taggerdy: We'll monitor this band. Taggerdy out.
