"...yeah. At least Letterman went quickly."
Markus follows Ellie to the CIC.

Jaakko, still in his gear, hears the Mercanan commotion.

"You guys need a translation?"

Cualli looks over at Elu. "What are you interested in this for?" she asks, but she has a hard time concealing her own interest in the mission progress.
: I wanted to see why everyone was crowding around here.

Jaakko, still in his gear, hears the Mercanan commotion.

"You guys need a translation?"
: Yeah, this one can't translate for stuff.
: I can barely hear them through the static, you prick! Now shh!

: [...Well he's outta here, anyone see where the other three got off to?]
: [I see them- three Typhoons at angels fourteen, looks like they're going after Linebacker.]
: [Oh no, they're going to be sitting ducks! Can anyone intercept?]
: [This is Gunslinger 1-1, we're stuck in good here. Sorry.]

: I wanted to see why everyone was crowding around here.
"I suppose that's a good enough reason as any," Cualli says, giving him an affectionate headrub before resting an arm on Elu's shoulder and leaning on him. "Don't suppose you speak Mercanan, though, do you?"

"I suppose that's a good enough reason as any," Cualli says, giving him an affectionate pat on the back before resting an arm on Elu's shoulder and leaning on him. "Don't suppose you speak Mercanan, though, do you?"
: I do. But the audio quality is very poor.

: I do. But the audio quality is very poor.
"You do?" she says, raising her eyebrows and looking down at him. Cualli sounds pleasantly surprised (and a bit proud) as she continues, "how many languages do you speak that I don't know about?"

"You do?" she says, raising her eyebrows and looking down at him. Cualli sounds pleasantly surprised (and a bit proud) as she continues, "how many languages do you speak that I don't know about?"
: I can only speak and understand Gothic, Mercanan, and Aesthian. I believe it is because they are the most widely spoken languages on the planet.

"Makes sense," she says, nodding before turning her attention back to the radio.

"I can try,"

Jaakko listens hard and waits for the next messages to translate.

Jaakko listens hard and waits for the next messages to translate.
A while goes by where all you can hear is garbled speech under heavy static, but things eventually clear up.
: [One of the Razorbacks is trailing smoke!]
: [Linebacker 2-2 is going down. Strike squadron still ninety percent combat effective.]

Ash happens upon the crowd, fresh from the roosterpit. Out of curiosity, he listens to the radio chatter.

"Big fight, huh?," he guesses, "What's the target?"

: [One of the Razorbacks is trailing smoke!]
: [Linebacker 2-2 is going down. Strike squadron still ninety percent combat effective.]
Jaakko begins translating.

"First one says 'A Razorback is trailing smoke,"

He listens to the response.

"Second guy says '2-2 is going down, but the strike squadron is still effective,"

Cualli, still leaning on Elu, finally recognizes Jaakko's voice and glances his way, shifting uneasily.

Jaakko catches Cualli's glance, and glances back for split second before returning his full attention to the radio.

Ash happens upon the crowd, fresh from the roosterpit. Out of curiosity, he listens to the radio chatter.

"Big fight, huh?," he guesses, "What's the target?"
: The other Steinschwert tower. They're trying to brute force their way through with a large squadron of Razorbacks, but their escort got tied up.

Jaakko catches Cualli's glance, and glances back for split second before returning his full attention to the radio.
You hear some panicked but indecipherable shouting followed by an abrupt cutout, hopefully as a result of an ejection and not the obvious alternative.
: [Linebacker, this is Mercury. Hold tight, we're coming to help.]
: [Make it fast, Mercury, we're getting picked apart down here!]
