Arkhip gets the prayer beads back out while his squadmates argue about loud things.

"Our helmets dampen the noise of jet engines, not of colossal fusion engines,"

: Oh, they're not that bad unless you're standing right next to them.
: Try "within 500 feet".
: Psh, but the noise is half of the fun! All loud and in your face, sounding like a roided-out rocket engine. Not like those candyass Imperial hovercraft with their neutered droning. Seriously, do a flyby on one of those and you won't even be able to hear a thing. Go anywhere near the engines on one of ours and you'll be able to hear them over the ones directly behind you.

"I'd appreciate the sound of the engines more if i still had enough hearing left from my previous job to think about it. Have you ever been at the very back in a tank without ear protection? The cannon in one ear with the V12 in the other is something else."

[Operator¹]

"Salutations, ma'am! Lieutenant Lorens Zaman, transferee from the 658th Combat Wing, reporting!" A little bit of his Mercanan accent came out.

Salutations? What?

"All of the paperwork has been filed already, so you can leave now." Bell says with a slight look of irritation on her face.

"All of the paperwork has been filed already, so you can leave now."

"Oh- uh, thank you, Colonel. It's been a pleasure meeting you." Lorens eases his stance. "Uh, before I go," he says, pausing to search for his words, "You wouldn't happen to think there's been some sort of mistake with my placement, would you?"

[Qwepir]

"I'd appreciate the sound of the engines more if i still had enough hearing left from my previous job to think about it. Have you ever been at the very back in a tank without ear protection? The cannon in one ear with the V12 in the other is something else."

: What the hell was your previous job that required you to sit in a tank without ear protection?

[Operator¹]

"Oh- uh, thank you, Colonel. It's been a pleasure meeting you." Lorens eases his stance. "Uh, before I go," he says, pausing to search for his words, "You wouldn't happen to think there's been some sort of mistake with my placement, would you?"

"We'll find out after your first mission with the unit."

[Tayasaurus]

: What the hell was your previous job that required you to sit in a tank without ear protection?

"Poorly made decisions and hasty orders were in my description if i recall correctly."

[Qwepir]

"Poorly made decisions and hasty orders were in my description if i recall correctly."

: Yeah, but what did you do? Were you a reporter?

[Tayasaurus]

Tippy smiled a big robo-grin

"Nah, i was gunner. Though i did report plenty of valid targets... and maybe didn't announce some of them."

Tippy smiled a big robo-grin
"Nah, i was gunner. Though i did report plenty of valid targets... and maybe didn't announce some of them."

Arkhip looks up from his silent prayer to give Tippy a quizzical look, but doesn't say anything.
: ...And you're how old, if you don't mind me asking?
