"Flight deck three is just up these stairs," Ash announces, "You might want to put that away, just to be on the safe side."
Heeding his brother's advice, Lorens tucks the patch out of sight as the two begin ascending. The claustrophobia of the stairwell eventually gives way to a disorientingly wide space lined with aircraft and dotted with pilots and technicians in between. It takes some searching for Ash to correctly identify the leader of the Auxillary squadron, found sitting across the way.
"Major Kirves," Lorens calls out as he approaches Jaakko with Ash in tow, "Lieutenant Lorens Zaman, reporting for duty."
