Two Strikes And You're Out.

She composed herself and said to him, "I heard you're not joining the strike team."

He nodded nonchalantly and chose to see what the strike team will do. Their formation is lacking a big chunk of it and they are getting confused. They don't know what's going on so they too are asking questions.

"Do you know what this means?" She asked with a voice laden with fury.

He wasn't fazed by her anger.

"I'm not an idiot if that's what you're asking. I know what it means." He answered calmly.

If he isn't joining the strike team, then his team can't join the strike team. That will reduce the number of 90 members to 80 and reduce their chances of success drastically.
