The first thing they asked was how you were - whether the last wave had passed, whether everyone was in one piece. You said well enough. Then they paused: there is something I have to tell you. We have fuel to fly in. Not to fly back. Only a one-way trip was approved. If you have fuel on your end, set aside enough for the return leg - we top up when we land and fly straight back. If not... we will think of something else.

The first thing he said was to ask whether you were all right. The last wave was a big one; they lost people elsewhere too. One more thing, he said. We have fuel to come. Not to go back. What got approved was one way only. If you have fuel on hand, put enough aside for the return. We would rather not get all the way there and be unable to fly home.

The first thing he asked was whether the warehouse was still standing and whether anyone was hurt. You said both were fine. Good, he said, then stopped. There is a problem - the fuel only covers flying out. The return leg was not approved. Whatever fuel you have stored, set enough aside for the return. This trip has to cover both ends.
