"This is Torrai Lashret Nimil of the Loroi Imperial Fleet vessel Barrai Nizar. We are on a diplomatic mission to the people of Earth. We await your response."
It is a tense moment. First, static, and then a faint crackle...

As a swede I did understand that. Gallen sounds like "galen" meaning crazy in Swedish.
That's... unmitigated genius. It simply is.Umiak 2: "Affirmation [appending] exception label [humans] past tense Dubstep by [appending] movement rhythmic [humans] present tense [message ours radio]"
Oh yes, dark humor.
That would be a kicker.

Umiak 1: Uh, hey guys...there's no pilot in here.
Umiak 2: Uh oh. It's got to be a trap. Let's get out of here and scuttle this wreck. Now.
Tempo: <Cloud, you idiot! You had ONE JOB!>
The question would be "how much do the Umiak know about the Historians' 31337 h4><><0r1ng skills, and how much they fear, or rather ph34r, them.
I think if Spiral drew the short straw, it would go like this:Bamax wrote: ↑Fri Jun 10, 2022 7:38 amHahaha!avatar576 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 10, 2022 6:34 amThat would be a kicker.

That sounds like something the goofball iteration of Spiral would do in the fanfics (I doubt she is really that incompetent since she is a fighter pilot).
Such an alternate what if scenario of things going wrong would make for a good fanfic though.
Fireblade would survive as per the usual as she has already survived TWO shipwrecks.... so I doubt it's mere coincidence and some applied skill and knowledge is involved.
She would be extra grumpy when Stillstorm's crew picks her up I think.
