Desmond was pretty sure he’d hit the J. Edgar. Still, when they reported in, he wasn’t going to try to claim partial credit for the kill. “Nice shot, Sandra!” he called over the comms.
Lieutenant Barnes called for comm. discipline. A loud squelch of static cut him off before he could finish, and a booming Japanese voice filled Desmond’s helmet for a few moments, before fading to silence.
“… What the hell was that?” Barnes grumped into his headset, all pretenses of comm. discipline forgotten. “Yoshita, you’re pretty much a snake, what the hell did he just say?”
“Pardon, Rieutenant,” Yoshita replied in comically broken English. “Mechuwarriah Yoshita not transration dictionary.”
“I said,” the voice boomed again after a moment, “I am Tai-i Jin Robinson of the 9th Dieron Regulars. To the pilot of the Griffin, I challenge you to an honorable one-on-one duel, that I may have the opportunity to avenge the deaths of the vehicle crews under my command.”
“Scrambling comm. frequencies!” St. Croix announced in a sing-song voice, and then Desmond’s headset was filled with static. “—t’s better,” she was saying as his ‘Mech’s communication system linked with the rest of the lance. “That channel had far too many snakes on it for our well-being. Someone could’ve gotten bit!”
