Speaker A
Welcome home, Malia. Coming in gentle. Good flight. Smooth as glass. So, where's Max? I expected two Valkyries.
Speaker A
Two days behind me. He drew the ferry run. He lost the toss. Max tells me there's a wedding coming.
Speaker A
News flies faster than Valkyrie. Spring. The date holds this time. Then I'm not leaving before spring. And Max owes me a dance.
Speaker A
Best room. Best view. Scratch. The general takes the high ground. The pilot takes the cockpit.
Speaker A
High ground secured. Tomorrow we get to work. Whose is this? The house keeps its own secrets.
Speaker A
There's a jacket in my closet of flyers. That's the house jacket. The house has a jacket.
Speaker A
Every good building has one. Ours has a ghost with good taste. More rice. House rules. Rule one, no questions about my hours.
Speaker A
Agreed. Rule two, no questions about ours. Agreed. Rule three, what happens in this house stays in this house.
Speaker A
Agreed. We might be perfect for each other. You left it in the small room. He found it.
Speaker A
It fits. Who are you? You've known Kenji long? Long enough. You knew the jacket's owner long? Long enough. We're not going to answer each other, are we? No. But it's nice to know the questions match the house rules
Speaker A
to rule three. Optics clean, frame link asleep and dreaming. Two heartbeats home. She's still standing where I left her.
Speaker A
Interesting. You're staring. You brought the 21's brain into the city. It travels better than the 21. If anyone scans this floor, he sleeps deeper than we do.
Speaker A
Rule two. Rule two. 21. Lend me your eyes. Water calm. Your brother's still asleep. Door quiet.
Speaker A
Later. Nothing went in. Nothing came out. And still it breathed. They don't visit anymore. They watch it from somewhere warm. The door was never the way in.
Speaker A
Find the thread. Follow it home. The water breath. I know where they sleep. Show me.
Speaker A
Under the industrial rim. A drowned vault. Another raid. No raid. I go alone. My quedu is warm. If the ghosts are home, I will introduce myself.
Speaker A
Bring me their wings. Wake up, beauty. We have a den to visit. Hold your silence.
Speaker A
I fly alone. No escort, no signal. Sleep well, ghosts. I'm coming to introduce myself.
Speaker A
Almost home. Ghosts. Unknown contact. High and fast. That's no meteor. Eyes only. Do not engage.
Speaker A
Copy. Turning in. Company. Bold little wings. Quad Luan. I know those turns and I know yours. I never stopped counting.
Speaker A
My, what a miserable size you ended up at. Malia, you look like you've moved up the ladder yourself. Chloré.
Speaker A
The old war ended with the count one apart. Malia, mine ahead. Two apart. Mine.
Speaker A
Then we finish it. One pass. When the sky is ours alone, find me. Malia.
Speaker A
It was a Quadlu and Ru. And I know the pilot. Chloré. We flew the same war.
Speaker A
Friend of yours. Arrival. The count was never settled. She's asked for one pass. Empty sky.
Speaker A
Just the two of us. That's not an operation, Malia. No, it's older than one. No flight plan, no records.
Speaker A
You take fuel, a radio, and my private channel. And officially, officially, you're testing the airframe.
Speaker A
Best test there is. Thank you, Misa. You went alone and came back empty. Not empty. I found Millia Falia. The traitor ace flies again for one pass against me.
Speaker A
I sent you for ghosts, huntress. The count comes first, my lord. The ghosts will keep.
Speaker A
Then take your pass, huntress. Settle your count, and bring me her wings when it is done.
Speaker A
And the ghosts, my lord. The ghosts will keep. My lord. Channel check. Loud and clear. Starting the test.
Speaker A
So, where would I be? There you are. Better than I remembered. There's the old trick.
Speaker A
The count moves, Millia. Fly home, Chloré. Anything to report, pilot? Chloré came for the count. I marked her wing and sent her home.
Speaker A
So, it's finished. Finished? No, she will heal and she will come back. We have not seen the last of Chloré.
Speaker A
You return without her wings. She marked mine instead. The debt stands doubled. Then your price has doubled with it.
Speaker A
Name it. And when I fly again, Millia falls. Macrass Tower. Tell my wife I'm two days late. Blame the ferry schedule, not the pilot.
Speaker A
Two days and the sky is still in your eyes. Who was it? Chloré. She came for the count.
Speaker A
And I marked her wing and sent her home. She will heal and she will come back. And when she does, she will find both of us.
Speaker A
Tighten up, Lieutenant. You're drifting a whole meter. I was leaving you room to keep up.
Speaker A
Rules of the house, Max. Fly like you mean it. Yes, ma'am. Still can't shake you.
Speaker A
All these years and you still try. When she comes back, she comes through here.
Speaker A
Then we'll be here first. Miss MinMay, the ship called. We report back tomorrow. Both of us for duty, ma'am. They asked for us by name.
Speaker A
Then eat well this morning. That ship once took my songs. Bring yourselves back to my table.
Speaker A
There she is. Never gets smaller. Neither does the job. Leaves over. Duty calls. Race you to the gate.
Speaker A
Harata. Sato. Leaves over. You're back with me. Skullwatch flies at dawn. You two fly like you were born in my wing.
Speaker A
Don't make me regret saying that. We learned from the best, sir. Miss me? Dawn patrol with lead. Don't embarrass my dad.
Speaker A
Must be nice knowing whose name you're flying under. We'll find yours, Kenji. I promise.
Speaker A
Skull lead rolling. Two, three on my smoke. Two rolling. Three rolling right behind you, Le.
Speaker A
Good takeoff. Stay sharp. The morning's quiet. Too quiet. Deck leg. Follow me down. Smooth hands. The sea forgives nothing.
Speaker A
Two. Holding your line. Three. Right where you left me. Lead. Textbook. Whoever taught you two, I owe them a drink.
Speaker A
Three. Breaking. Gear coming down. Good work out there. Quiet morning after all. Let's not get used to it.
Speaker A
Bridge. Skullwatch recovered. Three down. Three safe. Copy. Skullwatch. Welcome home. Harata, Sato, three weeks on the roster and they fly like they've known him their whole lives. That deck leg. Nobody flies that clean at three weeks.
Speaker A
Good teacher, sir. I haven't taught you anything yet. You will. You're two new ones, Harata and Sato.
Speaker A
Best wingmen I've had in years. Why? Three weeks on the roster. They fly like they were raised in your wing.
Speaker A
I know. I keep waiting to remember where I know them from. You said it out loud. You will.
Speaker A
I know what I said. One more like that and we're not his wingmen. We're a question he can't stop asking.
Speaker A
He laughed. That's something I said. I have waited my whole life to hear that.
Speaker A
Anything? Nothing. That is what is wrong. You have said that for three days because for three days someone out there has been deciding something about me.
Speaker A
Dawn, three ships off the western field. Take their wings. Bring me three sets of wings. Then we will discuss whose name you are allowed to say.
Speaker A
Then I will be back before you finish the sentence. Three sets of wings. And then a name.
Speaker A
Dawn, I am coming to meet you. Skull lead rolling. Same as yesterday. Two, three on my smoke.
Speaker A
Skullwatch contact one return low and east. 12 m closing. Two negative visual. Three negative visual, lead. It is not squawking.
Speaker A
Skullwatch, turn with me. Now we know what the quiet was for. Range six. Everybody on us now. Noses out, eyes up.
Speaker A
Then we make it come through us. Break my call. Ready? Ready. Three ships. Just as he promised.
Speaker A
The one at the point flies like a teacher. Not him. Not first. Skullwatch. Combat spread. Turn with me.
Speaker A
Tally. Out of the sun. Break right. Who do we have close to them? Nobody.
Speaker A
There is nobody close to them. Hold on. Two's hit. Right wing. I'm hit. Still flying. Still flying.
Speaker A
Copy. Two. Level your wings and hold what you have. Three's engaging. It wants two. It gets me.
Speaker A
Three. WHAT DO YOU GET OFF IT? GET OFF IT. TWO'S running rough. Losing pressure on the left. It's fine. It's fine. Come on.
Speaker A
Come on. Hold together. If I go in the water out here, they'll write down a name that isn't mine.
Speaker A
Skull lead going vertical. Guns, guns, guns. Run home. Tell whoever sent you it was Skull lead.
Speaker A
Field storm watch. Three in the pattern. Two is damaged. Right wing. He lands first.
Speaker A
Two's down. Two's down. Three on short final. Right behind you. Tw
Speaker A
Storm watch is on the deck. All three. Two of them are 22 years old. Log it as a routine intercept. One aircraft damaged, no losses.
Speaker A
Haha. Sato. Well done. Routine intercept. One aircraft damaged, no losses. That's the report. That's all of it.
Speaker A
That fits. Why does AOE fly like that? Nobody flies like that at 22. And why did I feel it when Ken G said he was hit?
Speaker A
Three sets of wings. That was the price. Show me. I hit one. He kept flying. Then the leader turned into me instead of away.
Speaker A
The leader? Does the old one have a name? He told me to tell you it was Skull One.
Speaker A
Skull one. He did not run. He turned into her and then he let her live so that she would carry his name back to me. That is not pride. That is an invitation. Chlor goes back. Not for wings this time. For him. And she does
Speaker A
not go alone. An intercept off the western field this morning. One aircraft damaged. No losses reported.
Speaker A
No losses. Good. Somebody's mother gets to sleep tonight. Two days and he still hasn't unpacked.
Speaker A
No photographs, no letters, nothing worn out. Nothing in this room is older than last week. Whatever it is you left behind, you're not going to tell me. So, I won't ask.
Speaker A
You're late, both of you. Food is ready. He's washing up. He'll be out in a minute. He came in quiet. Was it a long day? No, it was a normal day.
Speaker A
There was something on the radio yesterday. An intercept off the western field. I heard.
Speaker A
You came in stiff last night. Long day. No, a normal one. Where is everyone?
Speaker A
Chloré, two days ago, she came at dawn. I was up with the new pair, their third flight against her.
Speaker A
Against her. Where are they now? You held that arm the whole meal. She saw it.
Speaker A
She sees everything. She just lets it go. She made me breakfast and I sat there and lied about my day.
Speaker A
I have to run appointment across town and they will not wait for me. There's more in the pot. Don't rush it either of you.
Speaker A
We'll clear up. I'll see you both tonight after work. Name, please. Hino. You're back with us. Same as before.
Speaker A
Same as before. Oh, she know. Yes. A routine check. It's nothing. And you? Why would she be seeing him?
Speaker A
Why would she be here? What is she seeing him for? Ma'am, Max and Millia are aboard SDF1.
Speaker A
They're waiting on you for the debrief. On my way. time. Leave him. We'll be back tomorrow night.
Speaker A
reporting back for duty. Sir, ease. Have we met? No, sir. First posting. Could have sworn.
Speaker A
Your parents, where are they from? And yours, Kenji? Couldn't tell you, ma'am. Grew up in the state home.
Speaker A
I see. Kenji A. Training room 15 minutes. Yes, ma'am. Real cockpits. The sphere does the rest.
Speaker A
It flies exactly like the real thing. It just doesn't kill you. Kenji, you're up.
Speaker A
I'm your opponent. Shoot me down. Yes, ma'am. That's Max's turn. Nobody else can fly that.
Speaker A
Io, you're up. And that one was mine. How'd they do? Kenji shot me down.
Speaker A
Nobody shoots you down. He flew your turn, Max. Your exact turn. And mine. How old are they?
Speaker A
Why'd you ask about our parents? Why'd you watch your hands like that? I don't know.
Speaker A
The new pair. Who brought them in? I did. Recruitment trials two weeks back. I signed them both myself.
Speaker A
Why? Both of them just shot down Millie at the simulator. But did they fly?
Speaker A
The boy. An inverted reversal off my overshoot. the girl, a stall at the top of a vertical and a drop straight down the axis.
Speaker A
That's not possible. Then somebody taught them. Well, who who taught them? Nobody. Nobody flies like that at a young age.
Speaker A
Am I interrupting? No. Go back to bed. It's the same move. Mine frame for frame. That's exactly how I fly it.
Speaker A
This stays between us. Yes. And we need to dig into where they came from quietly. Everything about them.
Speaker A
It's strange. They showed up at the exact same time as those two futuristic Valkyries.
Speaker A
Why'd you use Max's move on Millia? She literally told me to shoot her down.
Speaker A
I was just following her order. Why'd you use Millia's own move on her then?
Speaker A
It wasn't on purpose. Things got heated. It was pure instinct. They've been talking about us since last night, for sure.
Speaker A
Hey, is it true you two shot down Lieutenant Millia twice in one day? We just got lucky. The lieutenant was taking it easy on us.
Speaker A
The detector. It tripped. The gate's opening again. Where? The forest where we first hit them.
Speaker A
Stay on base. Cover for me. I need to see it myself. By yourself? If we both disappear today, they'll know.
Speaker A
I'll go to the vault, take the 19, and fly straight for the gate. It might be the only chance we get to go back to our own time.
Speaker A
The forest There you are. Where do you go? Stay open. Please stay open. No, no, no, no no no.
Speaker A
The gate's closed. So what are you? Who are you? Where? Where is this? You're safe. What happened to you? Who are you?
Speaker A
I I don't know. I can't remember anything. Not even my name. Hold on. We'll figure everything out along the way.
Speaker A
Now we have to get you some new clothes. What's wrong with them? Good timing. Come inside.
Speaker A
Wait here. Hopefully Miss Minay can spare you some temporary clothes. Go ahead. Miss MinMay's room is right there. Pick whichever clothes you like.
Speaker A
Wow, Kenji. Who is this? She's She's my wife. I I picked her up at the airport today.
Speaker A
Your wife? Then why is she wearing my clothes? Her clothes got soaked in the rain while she was waiting for me outside the airport and and her luggage got lost at the airport.
Speaker A
I see. And what's your name? Trish. Her name is Trish. Trish, sit down here first. We'll just be a moment.
Speaker A
Can we talk privately? I brought her here to Macros City to get professional help. She has amnesia. She fell and hit her head badly. She was in a coma for two days. When she woke up, she didn't remember anything. Not even
Speaker A
her own name. Not even her own husband? No, not even me. Can she stay here with me just until she gets better?
Speaker A
It's okay. Honestly, I'd be happy to have another girl around for company. You and Oie are gone all the time anyway.
Speaker A
Thank you, Miss Min. Trish, come on. You can rest in my room. Kenji, what is a wife?
Speaker A
It's hard to explain. Just go along with it for now. Okay. I have to get back to base and report for duty or they'll get suspicious.
Speaker A
When I come back, we'll figure out together what brought you here. I promise. And if you get hungry, just ask Miss Minay. Okay.
Speaker A
Okay. I will wait for you, Kenji. Miss Mimay, Trish is resting in my room.
Speaker A
Can you take care of her until I get back tonight? Go on. I'll take care of her. You owe me Kenji.
Speaker A
Thanks, Miss Mimay. I owe you big time. Mom and dad have been looking for you all day. I had to make up so many excuses.
Speaker A
And it gets worse. Melia and Max are on standby to intercept the YF19. It's okay. I used the cloaking device.
Speaker A
They won't spot the 19. Kenji, someone in the tactical division already spotted the YF19. Grid 74 north bearing 265. That's where it was last seen. Find it.
Speaker A
Copy. We're on it. Command. We've swept the entire grid. No trace of the Vulyrie anywhere.
Speaker A
If it was ever here, it's gone. There's nothing. The cloaking technology it used is not even invented yet.
Speaker A
Kenji, what happened at the forest? What about the gate? It was already closed when I got there.
Speaker A
But there was something else. An escape pod sitting right where the gate used to be. I checked inside. There was a girl in it. She needed help. I couldn't bring her here, so I took her to Miss Min's
Speaker A
place. It was the only safe place I could think of. And owie, I think she might be from a different time, just like us.
Speaker A
Why would you bring her there to Miss Min's house of all places? It's the safest place I could think of.
Speaker A
And besides, Miss Min is already there looking out for her. And what does Miss Min say about her?
Speaker A
Who does she think she is? I had to tell her an honest lie. I told her that Trish, that's the name I gave her, is my wife.
Speaker A
You said what? Are you settling in? Okay. If you need anything, anything at all, just let me know. Okay.
Speaker A
Thank you for your hospitality, Miss MinMay. What is that sound? It feels peaceful. It makes me happy.
Speaker A
Welcome home, you two. How was your day? Easy, sweetheart. Your husband's only been gone a couple of hours. He's not going anywhere.
Speaker A
Hey, are you settling in okay? Thanks again, Miss MinMay, for taking care of her.
Speaker A
It's no problem at all. We had some girl-to-girl bonding while you were gone. Trish, this is Owie. We work together at the SDF1.
Speaker A
It's nice to meet you, Trish. Owie. Excuse us. I need to borrow Kenji for a minute privately.
Speaker A
Take your time. So, are you two sleeping in the same bed? That's not going to happen. I'm not even comfortable sharing a room with a girl.
Speaker A
It's okay if it's you, but with another woman, it's totally different. I'll set up a makeshift bed on the floor. I'll sleep there.
Speaker A
Where did you get the night gown? Miss Men may let me borrow it. You take the bed. I'll be fine.
Speaker A
Why not sleep beside me? That's That's not right. I'll set up a bed on the floor. It's fine.
Speaker A
Why does this have to happen to me? How sweet sleeping together like that. M something smells good.
Speaker A
I sleepwalked again. Miss MinMay, I'm taking the day off work today. I'm taking Trish to a specialist, someone who works on reversing amnesia.
Speaker A
Owie, cover for me. If anyone asks, it's a family emergency. We'll be back soon, right after the appointment.
Speaker A
I have to tell you, this morning I looked in on them and they were sleeping like that. It was the sweetest thing I've ever seen.
Speaker A
Yeah, Kenji's a lucky guy. So, how did they meet? Kenji never tells me anything.
Speaker A
They met at the base. She was lost and he helped her find her way.
Speaker A
An aircraft that isn't there and a pilot who isn't here. Probably nothing. You're with the flight section, aren't you? Is Kenji not in today? No, ma'am.
Speaker A
He has a family emergency. Two sightings, two vanishes. Same signature both times. Whatever it is, it isn't hiding from us. It's leaving. I flew that grid. There was nothing there.
Speaker A
Machines lie, Lieutenant. Sky doesn't. So, give me something I can fly against. What am I chasing?
Speaker A
An aircraft with a cloak we cannot build. Not a prototype, not stolen. It isn't invented yet.
Speaker A
Fine, then I'll bring you its shadow. There are so many of them and no one is afraid.
Speaker A
Kenji, that is Miss Minme. What is that sound? I heard it in my room.
Speaker A
The same sound. It's called a song. That one. That kind. It helped us win the war against the Zentradi.
Speaker A
I want to learn more about the songs. Where can I hear more of them?
Speaker A
There's a music store a few blocks from here. We'll get you something to listen with. You can have all of it.
Speaker A
It is Miss Minme. She's here, too. You press here to start it. These go in your ears. Then it's just you and the song.
Speaker A
and I will never let you go. Forgive me for interrupting. I represent artists. I have never heard a voice like yours in a room like this. I would like to offer you a contract. That voice belongs to the whole city.
Speaker A
Come on. Hopefully the specialist can help you get your memory back. It is very simple and it does not hurt.
Speaker A
You rest and we listen to how your mind moves. Nothing goes in. We only look.
Speaker A
You may stop at any moment. You only have to say so. Just relax. Stay calm. I'm right here.
Speaker A
Do not leave me. Stay beside me, please. I'm not going anywhere. I'll be right here the whole time. I promise.
Speaker A
Stay inside. Do not open it. The pod will take you where they cannot follow.
Speaker A
I will hold them here. You are not theirs to take. You are ours. Hey, I'm here. Hang in there. Just hang in there.
Speaker A
She is not in pain. Her memory is returning. Slowly. Let her have it. F.
Speaker A
Feff? Who's FF? I remember now. My name is Ishtar. I was an emulator for the Marduk Empire.
Speaker A
It worked. Her memory has been restored. All of it, as far as I can tell.
Speaker A
She has been through a great deal today. Let her rest. Please. Whatever she said in here.
Speaker A
Nobody can know about it. Nobody. Everything that happens in this room stays in this room. We never share what our patients bring us. You have nothing to worry about here. Take her home. Let her sleep. She will need time with all
Speaker A
of it. Come on. Let's get you back to Miss Min. You need to rest. We'll figure out what's next together. Not tonight, but we will.
Speaker A
You're back. I stayed in all afternoon. I wanted to hear how it went. So, how did it go? Did they help her?
Speaker A
It didn't work. Nothing came back. We'll try somewhere else. Someone better. I'm going to get her to bed, Miss MinMay.
Speaker A
She's exhausted. We'll talk more after she's rested. Oh, sweetheart. I'm so sorry. Go on, get some sleep.
Speaker A
I've been calling you the wrong name for two days. You gave me a name when I had none. I did not mind it, but I would like to hear my own now from you. My voice was a weapon. They gave it to the soldiers
Speaker A
before a battle. It made them want to die. That's what they used you for. It isn't what you are.
Speaker A
Then what am I now? I don't know what you are, but I know you're something special. Something brought you here. Across all of it, to a forest, to a pod, to me. That wasn't an accident. I don't need to know what it
Speaker A
means yet. You're here. That's good enough for me.
