You online?

GLancer: [1332, 19.07.2552]

Trig! You on?

TRIGTECH: [1332, 19.07.2552]

Hold up

TRIGTECH: [1332, 19.07.2552]

Sorry. One of our lifts is bust. We got Hogs backed up out the gate. What’s up?

GLancer: [1333, 19.07.2552]

Busy?

TRIGTECH: [1333, 19.07.2552]

Always, but got a few. What’s up?

GLancer: [1333, 19.07.2552]

Not bad. I’ll take yer Hogs and raise you 144s. Had three in yesterday.

TRIGTECH: [1334, 19.07.2552]

What’d the 144s set you back? I can run diags on 3 Hogs in the time the flight mechs can run one bird.

GLancer: [1335, 19.07.2552]

Wasn’t bad. They take a helluva lot longer for sys-checks, but no glitches=not a complete cluster. Last week got one with a catch in the rotor. Bork’d the whole damn day.

TRIGTECH: [1335, 19.07.2552]

That’s why I stick to the wheels ‘n’ mud.

GLancer: [1335, 19.07.2552]

Yous tick to ground transpo cuz you hate flying.

TRIGTECH: [1336, 19.07.2552]

Point?

GLancer: [1336, 19.07.2552]

No point. We stick with what we know, right? You like dirt, I like clouds.

TRIGTECH: [1336, 19.07.2552]

True. Not that yer toys aren’t interesting,just never had much love for gravity. Must be my infantry blood – boots on the ground and all that.

GLancer: [1337, 19.07.2552]

Don’t know what yer missin’.

TRIGTECH: [1337, 19.07.2552]

Says you.

GLancer: [1337, 19.07.2552]

HA!

TRIGTECH: [1338, 19.07.2552]

So, what’s up?

GLancer: [1339, 19.07.2552]

Nothing, really.

TRIGTECH: [1339, 19.07.2552]

Just miss me? I’m touched.

GLancer: [1339, 19.07.2552]

Yeah. Something like that. Just been awhile,thought I’d check in on the old shop.

TRIGTECH: [1340, 19.07.2552]

You been out a year? Over, right? How’s field life?

GLancer: [1340, 19.07.2552]

It’s alright. Got four months left this deply,then shufflin’ back to the “real” world.

TRIGTECH: [1341, 19.07.2552]

Careful what you wish for. I don’t know htat base life is any less a grind than a forward plot. Least not these days.

GLancer: [1341, 19.07.2552]

Problems?

TRIGTECH: [1341, 19.07.2552]

Not so much problems.

[1341, 19.07.2552]

You hear things, right?

GLancer: [1342, 19.07.2552]

TRIGTECH: [1342, 19.07.2552]

Yeah. The war.

GLancer: [1342, 19.07.2552]

Yeah.

[1342, 19.07.2552]
