| - Ten years after Emergence Day, Rothesay flew KR Nine-Six on patrol over the Cressy Escarpment with Bravo Squad in the crew bay and Cpl.Charlie Castilla serving as crew chief. They could see the town of Estana in the distance, which was burning after having been attacked two days before. Pvt.Jace Stratton declared that they were doomed, and that nothing they had done to slow the Locust had worked. Rothesay told him not to underestimate the sappers, and that they would be able to block the sewers that led out of Estana and towards Ephyra. Sgt.Marcus Fenix was worried that the sappers would not finish before the Locust scouting force arrived, and Rothesay decided to check on them, since there as a group of Drones close to the edge of the Jacinto Plateau. She asked if anyone minded if they were late back to base, especially since Marcus had a weekend pass. Marcus told him not to worry, so Rothesay dropped low and hovered below the tree line and attempted to contact Red-Three, the sapper squad working to block the sewers. They heard an explosion in the distance, and Cpt.Shaw responded, asking Rothesay if he was getting anxious. Rothesay told him he was, and that Shaw should be too, but Shaw responded that they still had a lot of cement to pour. Jace pointed out that the cement would not set before the Locust arrived, and that the Locust would tear through it anyway and reach Ephyra in a week. Pvt.Dominic Santiago retorted that there was no reason to leave ready-made tunnels for the Locust, and Rothesay took comfort in the fact that even if they Locust reached the main sewer, they had to dig up through ten klicks of human waste. Castilla told him she would take an extra dump or two to hold them up longer, and Rothesay responded that the Coalition of Ordered Governments did expect them to do their lavatorial duty. He queried why women took so long in the bathroom, and Castilla informed him that they either meditated or did calculus, and began talking to Pvt.Tai Kaliso about meditating. After a few exchanges, Rothesay told her to get back on the Chain Gun, and began heading towards KR Eight-Zero's position. Major Gill Gettner called out to all call signs that she had spotted a Locust column of forty drones heading towards the escarpment, and Rothesay commed her and asked if she wanted them to head to the Shenko Falls and help the sappers, and asked how she was doing today. Gettner asked if he could handle the sappers by himself, or if Rothesay needed her to hold his hand. Rothesay told her that he could keep an eye on them, and would contact her if they encountered problems. As he swung KR Nine-Six towards the Shenko Falls, Rothesay asked Castilla if he had a chance with Gettner since he liked them sassy, but Castilla told him that she was homicidal, not sassy.
