[US SOUTHCOM and Admiral Chandler is informed of a call from the Nathan James broadcast in the clear]
This isn't a secure channel, Mike.
Yeah, I know. I finally got around to reading your favorite book. You got your copy handy?
Hold on. Ensign Swain, do you have your copy of "Moby-Dick"?
Yes, sir.
We've got it.
Turn to page 366, nine paragraphs down. Last words.
Working on it.
This is how we're gonna have to communicate for the time being.
Understood. Smart play, Mike. Well? What's the message?
"Fit for a fight."
We've got it.
Tom, is the message clear?
Yes, it is. We read you loud and clear.
We'll be in touch.
