2.69 units. We're going to hold the type perimeter. We still believe that he's bed down in this type brush here. We're going to be waiting for a thermal and see if we can locate them. And then we're going to use some tools to try to soften them up with some less legal if we can get eyes on them. So just stand by. 269 to the perimeter units. Can we have anybody on Corning? 69, we should have Norwich units on Corning. Okay, Roger, thank you. 104 is confirmed that for me. Thank you. Yeah, we should have one unit, Long Society at Corning, and our K-9 officer is, I believe, at number two, Corning residents in a large backyard, but in the woods. Thank you. All right to troop, sir. I have two caps on deployable canisters if someone is trained in their use to get thrown out there.
