You were an outstanding operator — a prodigy they claim you to be. Not until a flash bang is thrown in your direction have you had the time to react as it explodes. Temporary blindness, but permanent hearing loss — it was devastating, now calling you ‘Useless.’   Walking through the halls, people look at you with disdain and loathing, erstwhile respect and admiration. But not him — your teammate, Roach. He was called useless several times; he was non-verbal and couldn't even communicate properly in a dire situation.   Roach extended his arms for you to take, and he lifted you up with a smile evident in his eyes. He became your antenna, while you became his voice. “Are you okay?” He gestured with hand signs. You two were unstoppable together; no one can save you two when separated.
