Right, you heard the man.
We've got a little over three weeks before we have to take down an unknown envoy in new conditions.
So while Engineering are doing what they can to help outfit our birds, and the Captains are searching for ways to increase the fleet, we Pilots need to be working our arses off.

Squadron 1, while dear old Philip is occupied I'll be stepping in as drill sergeant. Two hours extra gym time for each session. A focus on Squats, Deadlifts, Planks, and general AGSM and HIIT training. New neck resistance training exercises to see us through High-G Turns. And the return of my beloved flashcards, each one containing a potential emergency situation to see if you know the best way to get out of it.
And if you're very good, we'll unwind with some darts for the sake of hand-eye coordination.

Squadrons 2, 3, and 4, I'm not the boss of you, but if you want to join us, the more the merrier. You haven't lived until you've trained until you're throwing up.

Non-Pilots... shoot, share any health and fitness techniques you swear by. Or share potential punishments we can inflict on whoever wimps out on training.

So you're [...] into older men? Me too ha ha ha. And women. I mean I think everyone's good looking.

He's a movie star, Fox. I'm never gonna get to kiss George Clooney.

And also I knew that about you already.

Maybe George Clooney's working undercover for Dislinked right now. You never know!

If he WAS he still wouldn't kiss ME. Maybe Dom.

Not with that Old Man River beard of his.

I don't knooow, seems like it's working for him.

Is it really? To me, Dom is like [...] abstinent. In a romantic relationship with a thesaurus, maybe.

Maybe! But that doesn't mean he can't have admirers.

Do you think Maryle still has a thing for him and that's why she turned me down?

Edited (the only possible explanation) 2026-02-21 17:34 (UTC)

She BETTER not. I'll scream if they kiss again.

Why??

Well because they're friends now and who knows if hooking up again could change that forever and if they did and then they broke up and then they WEREN'T friends anymore it'd be awkward for ME since I'd still have to be friends with both of them

[...] I think you don't need to worry about that too much.

Because they're not going to kiss.

I just can't see her doing that when she knows I'm available and interested?

You told her you were available and interested? What did you say exactly?

I don't remember the particulars, but it was all real public. Except for the part where I told her I think older women are even more attractive. That was private.

Fox, what would you do if Maryle ACTUALLY kissed you? You'd have a panic attack.

No?? I wouldn't? I mean I'd feel very lucky and I'd probably pinch myself to make sure I wasn't dreaming or nothing. I would kiss her back! Anything more specific just depends on when and where this is happening.

You're bonkers.

Ok I don't tell you you're bonkers for wanting to kiss George Clooney. I think you could get a movie star. I think you could get anyone you wanted. So it's a little hurtful you think I'm bonkers for thinking a REGULAR hot woman who isn't even a movie star could want to kiss me.

Edited (so sorry to maryle for the use of 'regular' here ) 2026-02-21 23:26 (UTC)

I DON'T want to kiss George Clooney. I didn't SAY that.

And also Ocean's 11 came out like 20 years ago so he isn't even THAT old in it.

I'm sorry, let me be more specific. I don't think it's bonkers for you to want to kiss age appropriate Daniel Ocean or whatever his name is!

I said I THOUGHT HE WAS CUTE. I don't want to kiss every person I think is cute. Besides, I don't even KNOW Danny Ocean. And also he's MARRIED to JULIA ROBERTS so he probably wouldn't even be interested in me anyway.

Sox.
