He hasn’t realised this part yet, it’s still like a game to him, and perhaps the detachment of actually doing it with an Xbox controller on a screen would be enough to allow him to do it.

On the screen the camera view from the drone’s helmet displays and he cycles through the various modes of night vision. He takes a microphone and blows into it. The resulting static can be heard from the helmet speakers and he takes a strap from the racks which he places around his neck. A short grunt and he can hear the same sound from both Happy’s helmet and the computer terminal speakers.

Steve: I can’t afford him to not do it though. If he pulls out or refuses to fire I’ll be screwed. I’ve got backups though.
