We're going to probably kick (name withheld) loose once their fuel cycle is up, and we'll keep 82 whiskey[1] around for a little bit while we get the cruise engaged.
00:25
Break. We're going to try to get the crew and the faller in there to assess what work needs to be done while 82 whiskey[1] is fueling up, so we might just hold off on having them engage for a little while the ground crews make progress on the work that needs to be done on the ground.

Oh, hands-on, and I pass the fire when 82 whiskey[1] gets fuel.

Do you want 82 whiskey[1] to stage at the fuel site near Creswell?

Stay firm, that would be ideal, and we can let them know that through our ground contact here, if needed.
