Can You Hear Me Now?

Can You Hear Me Now? is the second episode of the fourth season of Sandguardians and the fifty-second overall.

Plot
Ichabod enters the underside of the Guardian Base - the interior of a large Covenant Cruiser shaped into an underground base. He makes his way into a briefing room, where Iamo resides studying data. Icky apologizes for being late, in which Iamo tells him to explain himself. Icky informs Iamo of his talk with Allan and explains that he's still depressed like everyone else in the base. Iamo takes offense to this and scolds Icky, with the latter quickly apologizing.

Iamo then has Ichabod look over the Project Genesis data and asks him if the 46% casualty rate is true. Icky recalls seeing Vice Chancellor Sydney changing the numbers in the data and believes the casualty rate was included in the changes, though isn't 100% certain. As Iamo grows impatient, Icky fires back and explains that he was undercover at the time and faced a lot of pressure. He won't be able to remember all the details. Iamo, as a result, calms himself down and asks in a simpler manner. Icky, in response, explains that Sydney changed the casualty rate number from the single digits to the accurate number, confusing Iamo.

Iamo then asks Icky what Archie makes of the data, confusing Icky. Iamo reminds Icky that he told him to ask for Archie's opinion on the Genesis data and harshly berates him for his poor listening skills. Insulted, Icky fires back but stops himself upon realizing that Iamo is ready for a fight. Icky calms down and leaves to find Archie, explaining that he'll correct his mistakes.
