The target was in the neighbouring room and the order to storm had already been given. But with this background noise, the subject would certainly not be suspicious and a few minutes' delay shouldn't be a problem...
Status Update:
Very briefly today: The ME animations are finished. š„³
Now it's time to render, check for glitches, fix them and then render again. This takes a lot of passive (render) time, but as the penultimate phase of a production, it hopefully shouldn't take too long. After that only sound and post production are left to do.
Next update should be the release date. š
