ABS FIESTA REDUX
Mr. Hurricane:
"Who loving knows," Jaakko slips.
He stares at a coffee table in front of him for a few moments before focusing his attention elsewhere and continuing.
"I tried to shoot out the engines to force it down but they just drove the thing into the ground anyway."
CypherX:
"There was nothing you could do. They were going to crash it into the ground or into something with more people. What is done is done."
The thought of it causes Gus to clench his fists. A senseless waste of lives in revenge for a dead empire.
"Jaakko," Gus starts again, "we are in a huge metal disk thousands of feet in the air. The crew hasn't seen land for weeks."
He pauses again to let Jaakko absorb what he's saying.
"We aren't the most level headed people."
Mr. Hurricane:
Apparently Deltans aren't the most level headed people either.
"I know this. I know that nothing can or really could have been changed, I'm not angry because something could have been different, or I know I shouldn't be. I'm angry— It's the nature of the situation, I don't know how else to explain it. Gods damn them. A worthless loving people,"
Jaakko swallows the rest of his words as logic stops him from communicating his vitriolic feelings. He remembers a conversation with Coaxoch regarding the origins of this war, but Coaxoch's claims against the GTO's claims merely serve to confuse his feelings of regarding the Deltans all the while bitter resentment continues to burn a hole in his stomach regardless of how much he thinks about there being good Deltans and bad Deltans.
After a few seconds he draws together another sentence.
"I don't believe being in this stupid loving carrier has had any affect on how I feel about all this. There was another guy too. A Foxbat from some land base somewhere was with me. He seemed to feel the same way from what few comments he made after the airliner crashed,"
Jaakko finds he can't remember the exact comments of the other pilot. He wishes that his dogs were by his side as a distraction.
CypherX:
"That was not my point," Gus responds in a dry monotone. He narrows his eyes.
"There will be a time for mourning the lost when we land. We have more pressing concerns, such as assuring one of our own isn't retaliated against for this. You can help, or I will do it myself, Major."
Mr. Hurricane:
Jaakko glances at Cualli, still looking displeased.
"Oh, that's what you meant,"
Despite his upset tone there is a hint of sincere understanding. He nods.
"Yeah. Landing is a good time for everybody to get their thoughts in order," he comments.
He looks to Gus for once.
"And I'll help watch over Cualli as well," he says quietly.
