Thank you to the Squadron Leaders for putting last weekend's exercise together. I can only speak for myself, but getting tossed into the deep end like that was both terrifying and exhilarating. I ain't ever been that close to a volcano before, and seeing one up close and personal was super cool thrilling. So glad y'all are the type of leaders wiling to give us challenges that makes us better pilots instead of just busier ones.

[...] And congratulations to Strike Group Alpha as well. You all managed to hold together under real pressure. That says a lot about the team, regardless of who happened to be in the lead despite A. Well flown. :)

SQUADRON LEADERS.

I totally understand the rationale behind putting the newest recruits in the squad leader seats, and I think it was a real good exercise for Sloane to show what she can do. Apollo [...] was also there, doing his thing! I did want to ask, though. If we run something like this again, would there be an opportunity for me to prove my mettle as a leader as well? If not, that's alright. I trust your judgment on these things!

FRIENDS OF FOX. [ if it feels right to you, go for it! ]

Some of y'all might've noticed we've got a new face on the Mnemo! Bear Bradshaw. Seeing as most of you can put two and two together, it probably won't come as much of a surprise when I say he's my brother. I'm just as surprised as the rest of you!!! I thought he was still veiled back on the AC compound, but here we are!

He doesn't remember me, which is soooo okay. Really. I'm sure everything will work out just great in the end. But if you've been thinking, hey, that guy kinda looks like Fox if he were super jacked and didn't have a mustache — now you know! Ha ha.

Oh my god, that's insane! He does have nice arms but I remember thinking he lacks a certain distinguished gentleman quality and now it's all clicking into place.

Are you sure you're actually good though?

Friends of Fox

[jinking]

[...] If you're telling me I have a distinguished gentleman quality, then I'm REALLY great.

Friends of Fox

[delilahs]

You do! The mustache is a major factor but I think it's part of your natural aura too

Friends of Fox

[jinking]

Thank you. I think you have [...] a magnetic natural aura too.

Friends of Fox

[delilahs]

Magnetic? Handsome men complimenting me? Be still my heart

Friends of Fox

[jinking]

And radiant like sunshine.

Friends of Fox

[delilahs]

Feel free to say more nice things about me but be warned, I may swoon

Your hair's real pretty and you have a unique way of lighting up a room.

Goodbye, going to find a couch to faint on because alas, I have no one to catch me

cade.

[murphyy]

are you into bradshaw?

cade.

[delilahs]

Define "into"

Would I kiss him? Yes, I have eyes and he's very handsome. Am I doodling Mrs. Delilah Bradshaw into my notebooks and fantasizing about him taking me on a ride in his plane? No.

cade.

[murphyy]

how long is that list getting, d? that answers my question tho.

cade.

[delilahs]

It's very long because again, I have eyes but the list of people I actively want to try to kiss is much shorter

With Fox though, I thought he could use a little ego boost in case he feels insecure about how "super jacked" his brother is. And also because reunions can be complicated.

cade.

[murphyy]

who's on that list?

fox would look weird with that many muscles probably. [...] you feeling okay about that?

cade.

[delilahs]

Irina, Archie, Demarcus, I think

I feel very okay about the state of Fox's muscles, actually; I think it would feel very nice to be held in his arms so I do not need to picture them any bigger

cade.

[murphyy]

oh, yeah. you and irina are hooking up now?

he's not bad looking at all.

cade.

[delilahs]

Hooking up is a very strong word for someone you have kissed one (1) time

He is not

How are you doing?

cade.

[murphyy]

just once?

i asked you first.

cade.

[delilahs]

Just once

I'm okay. A little concerned about Fox but that's it.

cade.

[murphyy]

[...] is she bad at kissing?

fox'll be okay. maybe not today, but y'know.

cade.

[delilahs]

Absolutely not! She's very good at kissing! For all my talk of wanting to kiss people, I am trying not to be messy

I know. But I imagine it's devastating to not have your brother remember you

cade.

[murphyy]

th messy how?

it'd be awful, but i think knowing he's okay would be more important.

cade.

[delilahs]

Kissing is great but friendship comes first. I feel like if I start regularly kissing or sleeping with someone, it would be very easy for someone (especially me) to catch feelings and complicate things. I want to be careful, that's all

That's true. At least he now has a chance to get to know him.

cade.

[murphyy]

yeah, i get that.

anyway. we should circle back to the question you were avoiding.

cade.

[delilahs]

Fox and Bear's situation is not quite the same as Bobby and mine.
