The second Ryo hits the ground, he's on the move and into the supply tent. It doesn't take him long to find the equalizers - the Ministry keeps this tent organized - and pull one out. There's a split second of debate as to whether he should take it back outside to set it off, but a tent shouldn't prevent its effects from spreading, and why should he put himself in even more danger and make things more difficult for Thanatos when he doesn't need to?

So he sets it off right in the tent.

There's a few long seconds, after the sounds of combat quiet down, before he cautiously pokes his head out of the tent, looking for threats and Thanatos in equal measure. Is it better?
