2017/03/01 - Not going to Roll with the status quo. In the games, Roll's responsibility to watch over Rock during his digouts had two different titles; "Operator" in Japanese, and "Spotter" in English. While both are real terms in modern military linguistics, both are completely different roles, with the latter being part of a sniper team along with all the other combatants. With that in mind, I enjoyed expanding the terminology of the Halcyon Days era to allow for both terms and at the same time have some reason to justify putting Roll into the action in several parts throughout this retelling.

And that's the hard part: Giving enough plot justification to allow for this instead of making it shoehorned in with no prior justification. This sequence alone went through multiple rewrites, ranging from some shoddy plot devices to some that felt like in bad taste (especially what the majority of the fanbase thinks of this Roll).
