Graf returns to his bunk, cold and exhausted. He had to agree with the marshals there - that drill was a disaster. Somehow, he powers through his fatigue and manages to look for something that he won't freeze to death in while he's sleeping. In the closet, he picks his snow clothing, puts it on and lays down on the bed.

Darkness overtakes him, and he enters into well-needed slumber.

"That's great and all, but is there anything else that we're up here for?" Tippy says, raising her voice so Jaakko can hear her.

"I don't know, it's probably a formality. I wouldn't be surprised if this is the first one in Aesthian hands," Jaakko postulates.

"Seems pretty specific. I'm not gonna leave though, just in case someone shows up and briefs us... was real nice of her though to transfer one to us."

The pilot debarks from the plane and retrieves a rucksack from the storage compartment before walking over to the three of you. The Wyvern itself is being winched to the back of the bay, where the cargo airlock is located.
: There you go. Everything you need to wear and everything you're allowed know to operate this aircraft.

She offers the bag out to whoever wants to take it first. Inside is a hard case containing a tablet and a paper-and-ink technical manual, as well as a flight helmet and jumpsuit similar to what Xiaomei would wear.

Tippy takes the bag and feels the weight of the manual, practically yanking her arms down to the ground.

"Geez"

The Kintharian watches Tippy oversell the bag's heft.
: If there are no questions, I'll be leaving.

"I do. Is the manual in Kintharian?"

"I do. Is the manual in Kintharian?"
: The manual has been translated, as have the flight controls and heads-up display.

"Heads up display?... nevermind. You probably wanna get out of here, unless any of my compatriots want to ask questions."

Tippy looks to the rest of the group

"That's convenient, we won't have to work on sticky notes like Takimachi did before," Bell says through her oxygen mask.

"That's convenient, we won't have to work on sticky notes like Takimachi did before," Bell says through her oxygen mask.
: No, you won't. As an aside, you had better not lose this plane like you did that one.

"We lost two of them though, and both of those pilots died after they ejected," Bell points to Tippy.

"She can tell you the rest, but I don't think we have time for that."

"Thanks for offloading that on me. I'm really not in the mood for story telling."

Jaakko snaps out of looking over the Wyvern.

"It's not a enchanting story. It's also freezing here,"

He looks towards the airlock.

"Hell- Xiaomei mentioned that its not worth bailing out either if you're shot down in it," he remarks quietly, "-not even sure if she was joking,"
