Reject at 120 kts on a wet/contaminated/field length limited RWY!

Ok so a reject "initiated" at 120 kts.
Brakes on speed was maybe 125kts?
But with a reduced V1, it may well be at this number or above?
Usually Field Limit ASD (calculated) will stop the aircraft so that the nose wheel is maybe just about to go off the pavement (a few feet prior)!
Next question is what sequence happened after the trust levers were closed to idle?
Were speed brakes manually deployed or extended after thrust lever/s selection?
Were thrust lever/s raised - if yes, when, how much thrust was selected?
IF the Pilot Flying forgot to perform the above sequence, were call-outs made by the PF? What reaction did that bring?
When were the thrust levers lowered?
Was braking performed by the auto-brakes, manually or a combination of?
If you know you be going off the runway - a BRACE BRACE would have been nice to hear!
