Go ahead, Chris.
Clyde speaking, sir.
Hey, Clyde?
Yes.
This is Mike.
We're done.
So what'd you find out?
Well, he said that we pulled out the back of the plane.
You won't hurt it, but that little square on the top is supposed to come out the little round part.
Yeah?
That's nothing.
He says it's down.
So he's going to go.
Yeah, but did you... That's okay.
There's nothing he can do.
But did you test it?
We're just getting ready to.
Okay, let me get you informed.
Okay, right.
Okay, buddy.
Go ahead.
